I just have a simple question regarding the UIDL compatibility between 
Dovecot 0.99 and 1.0-stable.
Do the UIDL change between both versions, and if yes, is there a way 
that they do not change, so that pop3 users leaving their mail on the 
server do not have to re-download all af them ?

Thank's for any answers !
