Bug #10679: IMAP_UID doen't return what it should

From: rick@alpinenetworking.com Operating system: Seawolf (Red hat) PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: IMAP related Bug description: IMAP_UID doen't return what it should From: "Rick Gigger" <rick@alpinenetworking.com> 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. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-03 15:36:24] chagenbu@php.net You might have the wrong idea of what uid is - what do you expect it to be? On pop servers the message uid will very likely just _be_ the message number... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=10679&edit=1
