Which sounds bad, but is it really? The amoung of mail grows over time too, and after a few years a biggish server might have many gigabytes of old mail stored and maybe 100kbytes of old UIDVALIDITY name/value pairs.And I don't buy the argument that a server can't store 4bytes UIDVALIDITY somewhere when mailbox is deleted/renamed.Do you understand the problem with UIDVALIDITY and RENAME? Not only do you have to store your 4 bytes, but you will have to store all UIDVALIDITY values that any folder has had ever, after renames, forever.
