The UIDs were the "time" portion of maildir's "time.pid.host" naming scheme. I sure hope Courier doesn't do the same. Since I've obviously been confused by this Message ID/UID dichotomy in the past, I can't give much more detail than to say that nnimap tells Gnus that there's a HUGE number of articles - and the number usually correlates _very closely_ with the time-stamp difference between the first and last message in the folder. --=20 Steven E.
