Hmm. If it is not a general standard which is supported by all pop3 servers, we can not integrate it in the standard OTRS releases :(.
It is basically a standard, as it is defined with the POP3 protocol. It is surely optional, but many other things in OTRS are, S/MIME for example. However, I would recommend to add two additional boolean parameters in regard to the UIDL functionality: "use UIDL" and "delete messages after fetching". Some broken UIDL implementations do change the UIDL occasionally, resulting in multiple deliveries of the same message, which is rather undesirable with OTRS. I believe that as of current, people wanting UIDL functionality with POP3 are using fetchmail/procmail/Piping-to-Postmaster constellations. -- Denis Jedig syneticon networks GbR http://syneticon.net/service/
