Development Ideas:
1. The message-id could be removed from the db and just
calculated on a mailbox list request. Its just their
sequence.
2. The unique-id could be calculated with a
date/time/sec/millsec base combined with a machine id
added to the dbmail configuration to assure ascending and
unique.
Yes. I should be more clear.
message-id is created on the fly. It's confusing that we have
message_idnr and unique_id in the database, which refer to unique-id in
IMAP, and a unique_id in POP3 respectively.
DBMail IMAP
message_idnr -> unique-id
calculated on IMAP select -> message-id
unique_id -> only used for POP3
Why POP3 uses a different way of a unique identifier for a message is
unclear to me. It's not needed I think. Anyway, that's nothing to worry
about at the moment.
Kevin, your way of creating a unique ID seems quite OK to me.
