Do some keep their own indexes? I can't see any evidence of Dovecot doing that when it's storing mail in mailspool files. I would have thought a mail client would have been keeping a running count, adding to it as it goes along. Though, if you used two different clients, at different times, that wouldn't work. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
