This patch uses the unix time stamp of every message as the UID. When the message is moved to another folder the UID must change and therefore the time stamp must change. As a result the message's arrival date has changed. Some clients display the sent date from the "Date:" line (like IMP) but the sort order is wrong, since UW-IMAP still sorts by arrival date. You can easly verify this in IMP. b) With Outlook or OE you will get the error as described in my initial posting and in previous postings on this list. Addionally Outlook does not show messages newer than the file .uidvalidity (which is generated by UW-IMAP in every mailbox) . When you delete the .uidvalidity file, as recommended in previous postings, Outlook can retrieve all messages, but then all messages are shown with the date of newly created .uidvalidity file. > 2) Would it not be possible to fix these issues and remain with UW-IMAP? > Dont think so. IMO, the problems are inherent in the design of the maildir patch. > 3) What additional features does Courier provide that is a _must_have_ that > UW-IMAP does not? It works as expected.
