Dear Friends,
 
I have a Red Hat Linux 6.1 having configured imap & pop3 server configured on it. Now, in my server every incoming mail is stored in /var/spool/mail/ folder.In this folder a flat file is created for every user and his incoming mail are stored in his flat file. It's oK.
 
Now, in that flat file (e.g. /var/spool/mail/user1) ,
what i guess is every incoming mail is stored with one
uid
. But, in some cases , some mails are having
uid
and some mail are not having
uid
field. This is the problem that i am facing. I want to use this field as unique message id in my mail client.
 
but, as stated above some mail are not having uid, then it will cause problem for me. so, can anybody solve this problem ? I want to use uid for unique mesage id.
 
Is there any alternative of uid available ? so, that with help of that option i can uniqelly identify my all mail in one mail-file.
[ i don't want to be dependent on message-number in javamail API]
Thank You.
