Re: Message sequence/ordering when using MAILDIR format

How about - deliberately undocumented? What exactly do you need to know the order for? I need to make sure that mailbox ordering is preserved for our users after we migrate from old POP client (non MAILDIR based) to the QMAIL-POPPER so that it doesn't confuse their MUA's. The UIDL is being preserved, but some clients are choking on the ordering change. Thanks, --curtis

In cronological order, or file creation time, or Do files in ~/Maildir/cur come before ~/Maildir/new? File modification time. Across both /cur and /new? What if files in /new are older than in /cur? And how does it mitigate between two files with same modification time? Thanks, --curtis

Across both /cur and /new. And how does it mitigate between two files with same modification time? The time is the only key used, so the resultant order depends on the order the files are presented by readdir(). -- -russ nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://russnelson.com Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | Government schools are so 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | bad that any rank amateur Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | can outdo them.
