The paranoid version, nor the "take other headers" option, won't work most of the time. In the real world, servers change headers, a bit. Particularly the "Date:" one can be very different, as a string. Even Message-Id is sometimes changed; not the human readable value but case (uppercase, lowercase), spaces/tab are changed. I also encountered really different messages with the same "Message-Id", sometimes. So imapsync uses "Message-Id" and "Received" headers by default to identify messages. The best combination, but it's better to say, the less worse combination for the real world. Not to forget some adaptations with spaces and case. > - 3. optional: add support for CONDSTORE & QRESYNC > - background: mbsync currently fetches the headers of all messages it > wants to sync and calculates the delta itself. that costs a lot of > bandwidth.

Yes, it would bring the stateless feature. -- Au revoir, 09 51 84 42 42 Gilles Lamiral.
