That is indeed almost precisely what I was looking for. Thank you. Btw I see only -09. Did you s/successfull/successful/ in §3 of -10 already? > The functionality you propose can be build as a small extension to CONDSTORE > (and yes, other people already proposed something similar before). It's early here -- I'm not sure if there's any functionality I'd wanted that isn't there, from a client's point of view. The only real difference I note is that I was trying to allow for the option of a far more naïve server implementation, where the server _only_ keeps 'HIGHESTMODSEQ' and doesn't actually keep MODSEQ for individual messages -- or where it keeps MODSEQ only for the N most recently changed messages. This might improve the adoption rate of the extension while still allowing the majority of the benefit to be seen by clients. I'm not particularly tied to that idea though -- from a client's point of view, I'm perfectly happy without it. -- dwmw2
