Re: [bug-mailutils] --uidl keeps downloading the same message over and over again

Thanks for the report. I have pushed the following fix:

  
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/mailutils.git/patch/?id=bf87c2f6634b992252857076a5eadc6d16e9e9df

Please give it a try.

Notice, however, that some servers (most notably gmail) change UIDL
after retrieving the message, which makes the --uidl option useless.
I don't know how posteo.de behaves, though.

Best regards,
Sergey
