RE: Bug #7486 Updated: imap_uid does not return the uid

All email messages have a unique identifier. It is a long string that ususally contains a domiain name or ip address. It is unique to all email addresses in the world. It would be much, much more useful if imap_uid would return that instead.

On pop servers the message uid will very likely just _be_ the message number... Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-27 03:30:55] rick@alpinenetworking.com When I call connect to a qmail pop server and call imap_uid all it does is return the message number back to me. It DOES NOT return the uid. I have to call imap_header for that and it is very slow. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION! Do NOT reply to this email!
