UID are absolutely uniq, not only in your machine, but worldwide ( at least if someone does not set same host names ). no a UID does not change once the message goes inside the mailbox. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
