Bug Type: IMAP related
Operating system: linux
PHP Version: 4.0.5
Description: imap_uid() does not produce an Unique ID Number from POP Servers
As far as I can see,
The following text for the manual says that there will be unique numbers, not numbers
that change over time, and the only unique numbers that are available for a message is
the UIDL number from the server,
>From the php manual:
This function returns the UID for the given message sequence number. An UID is an
unique identifier that will not change over time while a message sequence number may
change whenever the content of the mailbox changes. This function is the inverse of
imap_msgno().
In other words, an UID is not a seq number that starts with 1, goes on with 2 3 4 5 6
etc. etc. and then starts all over when the mailbox is empty...

uhhh... no, it shouldn't. Those are not UID's.

The following code should echo out the Unique ID's generated by UIDL on the IMAP/POP
Server, but echo's out a sequencial number starting with 1 instead...
It should probably produce ID's like, 3afffb5300000001, 3afffb5300000002, etc. etc.
$mbox = imap_open ("{your.imap.host:143}", "username", "password");
$headers = imap_headers ($mbox);
if ($headers == true) {
while (list ($key,$val) = each ($headers)) {
echo imap_uid($mbox, $key);
}
} else {
echo "No messages in inbox";
}
