| The .select() method of IMAP4 objects returns the EXISTS data, but not the more-critical UIDVALIDITY data. Without UIDVALIDITY, the UID command is useless. I have a patch, but it changes the API of the .select() method, so it's unlikely to go into mainline -- and select() also fails to return two other data items from the SELECT command (FLAGS and RECENT). | ||

| Logged In: YES user_id=196212 I think it unwise to change the API at this stage. Also, there is a reasonable process to obtain the values you need after the `select' call: which is to use the `response' method, as in: typ, EXISTS = instance.select(...) if typ == 'OK': FLAGS = instance.response('FLAGS') UIDVALIDITY = instance.response('UIDVALIDITY') RECENT = instance.response('RECENT') | ||
