Hello there! Thank you for Isync. I've recently tried moving from offlineimap to Isync because of speed issues, and I'm having hard time understanding Isync usage of UID. From what I understand, every folder I have (e.g. "INBOX", "Archive", "Sent", etc) has its own counting, so pretty much all of them has an email with the UID=1.
When I'm using Mutt, command line, or GNOME Evolution to move a message from my INBOX folder to my Archive folder, I'm always running into an "Maildir error: duplicate UID 1", because, after moving UID=1 from INBOX to Archive, there are now two emails with UID=1 obviously. While I understand all that, I don't understand what Isync is expecting to happen. Should the files always be renamed when moving between folders so that they would have an incremental ID corresponding to the folder? should the ID be removed from the filename? Is there any client other than Mu4e that supports it? I'm far from being an expert to email and maildirs, but I thought the point of a maildir was allowing you to treat emails like you treat files. If the UIDs are repeating between the folders, that's impossible, and it's impossible to maintain that without a special support from the client. What am I missing? It seems odd to me that Isync would behave this way by default and would still gain so much traction, but I've searched around for a couple of hours and couldn't figure out how others are using it without getting duplicates all the time, except for when using Mu4e. Thank you very much! Yo'av Moshe _______________________________________________ isync-devel mailing list isync-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/isync-devel
