Hi there!
I am new to imap "Command Line" and trying to write a script doing the
following on a dovecot imap server:
- APPEND a message (e.g. to Drafts)
- get the ID to reopen the message for reading
In short: How do i get the ID back from the APPEND command or which
command has to be invoked to get the uid of the newly added message?
Thank you!
Christian

With v1.0 you'd have to do something ugly like selecting the mailbox and searching for the message based on Message-ID: header or something.. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
