Maybe this has changed in recent versions? My ISP is currently switching over to Courier, which only understands maildir - hence my somewhat urgent tone lately on this issue. One of the support guys at the ISP sent some test messages to the staged server and showed me the message IDs, which carried the typical time.pid.host stamp. I didn't get a chance to connect nnimap to it yet, though, so I can't see what the IMAP server will send. The ISP pointed out that since qmail is still doing the delivery, the message IDs won't change just because Courier exposes the mailbox to IMAP. I'm still confused about whether Courier could still present a different UID to nnimap. > Anyone with a Courier IMAP server that feel like debugging this to see > what is really happening?
