It might be possible for this not to be the case for well-behaved IMAP clients, i.e. those that don't change UIDVALIDITY often. If I store the UIDs directly, then no header pull would be necessary, but a change in UIDVALIDITY would require a full rescan a la sup-sync --changed. -- William <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
