I have referred to the wiki and the RFC, but I still can't find the exact answer I'm looking for. From what I know, Dovecot uses the IMAP standard of 32 bit integers to uniquely identify messages. After a message is deleted from the mbox, can this UID ever be reissued to a new message or is that

[Dovecot] Duplicate Messages, Different X-UIDs?

2008-02-18 Thread Joe Allesi -X (joallesi - Coyote Creek Consulting at Cisco)
We're running into an issue where sendmail is only receiving one e-mail, but after a client accesses the message via IMAP and moves it to another IMAP folder, the message duplicates but each message has different X-UID headers. Has anyone ever seen this type of anomaly before? Is it a bad IMAP
