Alright, I'll the limits of my knowledge here. UIDL is a POP thing, right? Do you mean UID when talking about IMAP? It seems that IMAP has the concept of a "message sequence number", which is a number from 1 to the number of messages in a folder; that might be the right thing to use. Of course it's not clear to me how Dovecot maps a message number into a particular filename; I'll have to look at that. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
