Scan both folders (cur/, new/) on startup or sup-sync. After that, scan only new. Since mail is moved out of new/ into cur/ after detection, the time stamp stuff could be dropped since it would be redundant anyway. I think I'd confused myself about the id generation issue, so it wouldn't likely be of benefit there. > I've avoided moving new/ to cur/ because I didn't see any benefit to > Sup, and it conflicts with the hands-off philosophy, so it just seemed > like one more thing we could screw up.

Sup would be a better Maildir citizen, since this is the intended way to access/use a maildir source. -Ben -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ben Walton <bdwal...@gmail.com> "With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil—that takes religion.
