is anybody aware of an extension to POP3 that supports UIDL ranges?
It would be very useful for keep-messages-on-server setups (yes, I
know, IMAP4 domain) to be able to do UIDL 21-42 to obtain just these 22 UIDs (this would always have to be a multi-line reply, just like UIDL
without argument).If such a thing does not exist yet, perhaps a keyword such as "[X]UIDLRANGES" in the CAPA response might advertise this feature to clients.
So, if no POP3 clients support this, why add an extension instead of
using IMAP?
