I modified the example as follows:
Show quoted text
> for(my $i = 1; $i <= $nm; $i++){
> if($imap->seen($i)){
> print "*";
> } else {
> print " ";
> }
> my $es = Email::Simple->new(join '', @{ $imap->top($i) } );
> print $es->header('Delivery-date');
> my $uid = $imap->uid("$i");
> print qq{\t$i:$uid\n};
> }
> $imap->quit;
Gives the output:

Not clear why the UID is always 1?
Is the UID DERIVED from the message? Or simply assigned during a session?
Basically, I’m deleting emails based on age, but since I don’t know how the order of messages is determined (age? size? randomly?) does deleting one change the positions of others in the sequence?
It appears that deleting a message only marks a message for deletion, and that the actual deletion only takes place at the END of the session, and that the sequence of messages doesn’t change in between (unless “expunged”?) and that such automatically happens at the end of a session (and if that’s all true, then maybe I don’t even need the UID) - but I’m not sure.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Kurt
