When I get new mail and go to the "unread email" quick view I always see two version of the email, even though I definitely have only one such version in the inbox itself. Further, viewing the message via inbox usually marks only one of these copies as read, or sometimes none at all.

I have no custom filters defined that could cause duplication.

Any idea what's going on?

PS This is the new version (2011).

I have the very same issue. But it does extend not only to "unread mail" but also to "unread from contacts"(and probably every view option under it quick views too). I believe this is due the way Gmail labels work under Windows Live Mail 2011. If you hover the cursor over each duplicate mail you'll see one copy reads inbox, another reads all mail (another might read priority inbox, if it's enabled). I don't know who's end is responsible (Windows Live Client or Gmail) but I've been unable to find a solution. – Fellknight Mar 1 '11 at 1:40

"All mail" is a virtual view across actual folders in Gmail, so it will contain duplicates of mail in other folders. The "Quick View" isn't smart enough to filter these duplicates and it appears there is no way to exclude folders from a Quick View.
