If you use the c-client library to move messages (e.g. mail_copy()) all of these details are taken care of for you. Why aren't you doing this? No, you should not copy X-UID headers. > What bad things will happen otherwise? Either you will write useless junk headers, or you will screw up the UID regime and cause c-client to purge it and recreate a completely new UID regime, causing your POP3 users to complain bitterly that all these messages got downloaded again. > Is it better or worse that *all* X-UID headers are removed (also for > mail that return to the original folder)? You can't return messages. All you can do is add new messages. > Right now, mail is moved to other folders with the X-UID header, and > while resorting - new mail without any X-UID header can be inserted > betwin messages with X-UID header. Scary stuff... You can't resort messages in the mailbox or insert messages in the middle with c-client managed mailboxes. This is a permanent restriction since it is required behavior in IMAP. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
