UIDL and KMail

[Claude Jones]

I connect to several mail servers from several different machines because of 
the nature of the way I work. I have one machine that is set to delete 
messages from my mail servers after 10 days, and all other clients on my other 
machines are configured to leave messages on the server. This has worked well 
for me over years. But periodically, I get the occasional message from KMail 
that it doesn't properly support UIDL and that therefore, leaving/deleting 
messages from the server properly may not function. Right now, I have two 
machines doing this - one is my principal machine, the one that's set to 
delete after ten days, which is a desktop that's been in continuous use since 
FC1 days - when I start getting those UIDL error messages, KMail becomes 
tortuously slow, and seems to download many of the same messages over and 
over; the other machine that's doing this right now is a brand new and fully 
updated to regular but not testing software - it's an F10 machine running 
inside virtual box. 

I've been reading page after page from a google search on "KMail UIDL", but 
there's no info so far on how to fix this...
