		tedivm on Feb 24, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Gluon, a high-performance IMAP library I wrote a popular open source IMAP library in 2009 and even then the UID capability was there and widely adopted. My library relied on it 100%, completely ignoring sequence numbers, and I haven't received a single issue related to this. It's not that new, it's not a hail mary, and it is very well supported. * https://packagist.org/packages/tedivm/fetch * https://github.com/tedious/Fetch

Last time I was writing mail client code was around 2004-2005 and even around that time every large IMAP provider (AOL, Yahoo, …) had UID support.
