FWIW, pop3 UIDL wasn't widely adopted (on either servers or clients) = because (IMHO) it requires that the clients all be able to share a store = of id's. That excludes a large subset of the desired users (for example, = people who want to be able to also check mail from their mobile phone = client). It's still worth implementing, mind you - but these days most users will = still prefer IMAP for a variety of reasons. (All IMHO, of course). Hope that helps, *Chad
