Perhaps ?

ah. yeah. heh. that would make sense. what ever possesed me to assume that all options would be documented in that guide.pdf? I'm going to quietly put some salt on this foot I've got in my mouth, and see if it tastes better. teach me for reading docs. don't know what I was thinking.
moronically yours,

p.s. thanks :)
It is the guide. See page 16 for the ./configure option. It does seem to be missing from the table of run-time options on page 28. This should be fixed, of course. (The sample configuration file included in the distribution does list the 'old-style-uid' option.)
If you previously ran with Qpopper not writing X-UIDL headers, then you have a few choices for how to migrate to 4.x. If you are sure that you don't want to ever write X-UIDL headers, then set no-status and old-style-uid. If you want to start using X-UIDL headers, then only set old-style-uid; once all users have checked mail at least once you can turn that off and start using new style UIDs.
There is a risk of multiple messages getting the same UID with the old-style UIDs.
