Unfortunately in practice it doesn't help that much because IMAP servers without support for UIDPLUS seem to be quite widespread and I'm not sure if it's really user-friendly to tell the user "Message can't be undeleted because your server doesn't implement UIDPLUS". So I'll still need a fallback approach. How about writing a proper IMAP client that uses the delete-expunge model instead? The world already has plenty of crappy clients that use the unnatural Trash mailbox kludge. Trash is a user interface artifact, not something that should be inflicted upon the back end. -- Mark -- http://panda.com/mrc Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for lunch.

Ah, thanks, this is indeed exactly what I needed and I've somehow failed to find it it while looking for a solution. Unfortunately in practice it doesn't help that much because IMAP servers without support for UIDPLUS seem to be quite widespread and I'm not sure if it's really user-friendly to tell the user "Message can't be undeleted because your server doesn't implement UIDPLUS". So I'll still need a fallback approach. But I guess that there is no magic solution to this problem as otherwise UIDPLUS probably wouldn't have been added to IMAP... Anyhow, thanks once again for pointing me to COPYUID!
