From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Windows NT 4, SP6 PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: IMAP related Bug description: imap_uid does not return the uid This same bug was reported in bug#7486 and its current status is "Bogus", that's why I'm reporting this problem again. Base on RFC1939 (Post Office Protocol - Version 3), a command UIDL can be used to retrieve the "unique-id". According to RFC1939: "The unique-id of a message is an arbitrary server-determined string, consisting of one to 70 characters in the range 0x21 to 0x7E, which uniquely identifies a message within a maildrop and which persists across sessions. This persistence is required even if a session ends without entering the UPDATE state. The server should never reuse an unique-id in a given maildrop, for as long as the entity using the unique-id exists." Although UIDL is an optional command, most POP3 server do support it. In fact most POP3 email clients expect it. The unique id supplied by UIDL is NOT a "Message-ID" in the message header. In fact, "Message-ID" uniqueness can not always be guranteed. Please do check into this again, because without imap_uid() funtioning properly, imap_ functions’ usefulness for POP3 are significantly limited. -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=12954&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
