Hi all, I am new to dovecot. I am trying to use offlineimap + dovecot + gnus for some emails on multiple machines. I need to use org-mode capture links on emails. I want to know if the same email will have the same IMAP UID on different machines given that they are synced by offlineimap to a local maildir and served by dovecot respectively. Best, Shiquan -- ???

The UID is server-depended and may change across IMAP sessions, reflected by the change of UIDVALIDITY of the folder. However, Dovecot stores the UIDs in dovecot-uidlist files in each mailbox folder, so you could patch offlineimap to synchronize that file with the UIDs from the source IMAP server. But I think will get you other trouble. - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBUThH1V3r2wJMiz2NAQJ3PAf+JUrPwxMoIfOcj/3Z9+JLJT7xOY8PVkeV htVx4dPSIKEQebRzHcjlCAbMwYNYHilsxxrZLsdQxLLMHt8RWQrt/uoyuPDiEE/s qRIiSvzNvAZPPhG8MmLuM9vAfFIjWQM0uL3kle0RNA21PtprMBqc8NNLouBtjIwx /2YMI+1JrhrT1w9Ydik+9dPNegWmFJaEogDc0V79iN9hIac2m26XXA3Fsq/n8Sso kmHcUqrYyW6OCNDRa0IaZZkG9nTBwaLsyGEy+777CK0dcLYYVbkujE7loddMesZF GcLr6lPsw9k6q+pLDnr8ocCoJb+69eZcDL8XR3gVndgcur7SKdca7w==DPQP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
