Great... and I expect that this ("no headers from the maildir files are interpreted") applies also, when one "imports" mails the first time.
With import I don't mean via IMAP, but plainly moving e.g. a maildir ++ tree under dovecots mail location.
Yeah. So that means: From a "security" point of view, when using maildir (!)

I just wondered because when I looked through my mail archive (currently as mentioned, under Evolution)... many emails already had X-UID and X-IMAP* headers.... (set by the remote side, not by Evolution) ... and in no case these should be able to mess around in my dovecot :)
UIDs, UIDVALIDITY etc is preserved if you copy the dovecot-* files with it (which is a good idea to do). I'll have a question on that too, but ask it under a separate mail in a few minutes,.. cause it doesn't fit this thread anymore ;)
Thanks, Chris.
