Hi All,
I have received a complaint from a vendor who supplies our organisation with a
CRM product. It seems that when the CRM application downloads messages via
POP, it sees the UIDL for these all these messages as being the same.
They don't look "all the same" to me. Perhaps the vendor has a bug in how they
parse the value?
I did a test by telneting to our server and saw the following results:
UIDL
+OK unique-id listing follows
1 2579-1189132072
2 2580-1189132072
3 2581-1189132072
4 2582-1189132072
5 2583-1189132072
6 2584-1189132072
7 2585-1189132072
8 2586-1189132072
9 2587-1189132072
10 2588-1189132072
A quick search of the docs only revealed the following:
"The UIDL implementation is based on IMAP4 Universal Identifiers."
Does anyone know how the IDs are generated?
It looks like the IMAP UID of the message (with also happens to be the .msg file
number) and the IMAP UID VALIDITY of the folder (which happens to be the unix
time when the folder was created).
