I read the archives about the Outlook Duplicate Message problem regarding the setting 'Leave a copy on the Server'. I read that someone fixed this by changing the order of the UIDL from datestamp.message# to message#.datestamp. My question is if I make that change in my source for 0.99-11, will the 1.0 version have a fix for this included, or should I look for another pop3 server? I'd like to continue to use dovecot as it is very light and fast, but I'm trying to eliminate using source compiled binaries on my production servers, and letting YUM do my updates for me. I can compile this version from source, using the fix that was mentioned in the September Archives for this list, if I know that the problem (which is an MS problem, go figure) will be gone in future RPM binary packages.
It's not a good idea anymore to change the default UIDL generation, but I will most likely make it configurable before v1.0.
Dovecot 0.99.x isn't very good as pop3 server, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to try another pop3 server either.
