As a first order approximation:
You should have on record the UIDVALIDITY of the mailbox, highest assigned
UID in the mailbox ever seen by the client, and UIDs of all messages. If
the IMAP server reports a different UIDVALIDITY then what you have, dump
your entire cache; it has been invalidated

I'm writing a headless imap client using c-client on WindowsXP. I have
interfaced to all the mail functions and can successfully read mail
messages from my uw-imap server (linux). Since the mail storage is

into mbx INBOX files in users home directories:
A. c-client software automatically moves mail when software accesses
incoming spool file.
B. Someone explicitly invokes "mailutil appenddelete".
The question is: Can corruption o

different symbolic links pointing to that mailbox? Assume that all users
are doing this with c-client software, or even that all users are using
imapd.
