Okay, I understand that...help me out with this thought. I see in the source code that a comment reads something like: The UIDL is just the file name. Now, I removed the couierpop3dsizelist file from the Maildir directory. Then renamed the the first part of the file (prior to the colon) to the IMAP-UW UIDL. The first time that I connected to the server via telnet the file was recreated and the UIDLs matched what they were under IMAP-UW. I was able to do some quick tests and it seemed like it stopped the re-downloading of messages. Does this make sense? If that makes sense would it be possible to modify the mb2md or imapsync scripts to do this when they convert messages? -Tom > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference > Don't miss this year's exciting event.
