No, many clients use UID FETCH etc, which are different commands, and
|
|
*can* have EXPUNGE sent during their execution.
|
|
|
|
EXISTS, on the other hand, can be sent even if there is no command in
|
|
progress.

Take our personality test!
|
|
|
|
Do you:
|
|
|
|
a) Fail to understand.
|
|
|
|
b) Think you know IMAP better than several long-standing IMAP experts.
|
|
|
|
c) You think that somehow, your message store is magically different.
|
|
|
|
If you scored mostly (a), well done, you are honest. Now fix your
|
|
server.
|
|
|
|
If you scored mostly (b), you are delusional. Now fix your server.
|
|
|
|
If you scored mostly (c), you are wrong. Now fix your server.
|
|
|
|
You will find that if you provide a mail archive over IMAP, a
|
|
significant number of people - generally those with better IMAP
|
|
clients, too - will start using it as the exclusive method of reading
|
|
the mailing lists. I certainly would do. They will expect timely
|
|
delivery - again, I certainly would - and will be relying upon normal
|
|
IMAP semantics.
