Thanks Mark for your help. Sorry about my late reply, but was trying this
method and it did work.
My query on related lines (though not c-client related per se), is:
I find this technique of UID matching a bit arcane for POP
as in the case of a mailbox with 1000s of messages this process
of matching UIDs is a performance overhead. I was wondering
how this is done efficiently(if at all) by the other email clients out
there.
Appreciate your help again.
