I'm interested in the sorts of server-id's we can start configuring for. Strictly numerical? Why not alpha-numeric? What would the implications be of compressing the numeric time into an alpha-numeric field, using either base-32 or base-64 in terms of the ascending nature of the id numbers, and which of the fields are required to be numeric by the IMAP spec. You're way awesome for tackling this problem! I'd help more, but I'm still totally swamped in work :-\ Aaron
