Don't know or keep track. I have six different email accounts monitored, some POP3 and some IMAP here. It is usually several days after I restart SM and occurs infrequently. I normally only restart SM when the memory leaks use so much excess memory that it makes sense to do so. > https://www.emailarchitect.net/eagetmail/sdk/html/object_uidl.htm is for > people writing mail clients but it helped my understanding of the issue. > I just ignored the programming stuff. From the error message I get it appears that this is part of what is required to leave messages on the server and keep the server messages in sync with your local inbox with deletions. Don't know if this provides any additional useful information.
