The 4 million message 32 bit limit of the UID field...
Maybe I don't know how mail works, but shouldn't that be 4 billion? I imagine disk space would become an issue before a 32 bit identifier became an issue.
- blahedo 13y agoYes, I noticed that too. I assume this was a brain fart on the part of the OP---2^32 is definitely 4 billion, not 4 million. (Well, approximately.)
- brongondwana 13y agoYeah, sorry - late night. The 2^32 limit is something we've never seen hit by real software. (we do have a testing account with top-bit UIDs and MODSEQs set to make sure nothing is trying to do signed maths with them)
