Hi,
The dbox page says:
"Each message has a 128 bit globally unique identifier (GUID)"
I guess this is what guid_128_generate() generates.
Is this believed to be really globally unique?
As far as I can tell, in the current architecture they are -given there
are enough time precision-, because all dovecot daemons are single
threaded, so they have concurrency but doesn't have parallelism (they
are not multi threaded).
I would like to list all of the messages, with this GUID as the unique
identifier, so a collision would be fatal here...
