Hi, UID are immutable for a mailbox.
However, when you copy a mail from a mailbox to another mailbox, the UID is changed (regenerated based on the destination mailbox UID sequence).
The IMAP RFC impose a long format (number) being incremented, and the James mailbox implementation relies on it. It could be possible to develop an abstraction layer (UUID <-> UID), but it's not available.
If you find a solution for permalinks emails, I'm interessted to know it... Thx, Eric On 08/01/2013 15:13, Syao Work wrote:
Hello, Our system needs some way to access emails with permanent email IDs. We use IMAP client, and I am interested in reliability of IMAP UID in James. So here's some questions :) 1. Can I disable regeneration of UID to make it permanent in James with IMAP account? 2. Is there a better way to achieve "permalinks" for email messages? Best regards, Ro
