I wrote that in a pretty frustrated state (obviously) and rereading it, I don't think IMAP is quite as terrible as I make it out to be. Though it certainly smacks of design-by-committee, and one also gets the distinct impression the committee was composed of people who would be writing servers, not clients. > Out of curiosity, what brand of imap server is it you have at your > disposal? (So I can stay away from it.) The uidvalidity thing was an issue with some version of the UW imap server I was receiving mail on, and the spurious flag response thing was some version of Binc that Brian was connecting to. Of course both servers do perfectly valid things as far as the spec is concerned. -- William
