Mine does, but the chances of anyone using it are pretty slim, and
|
|
besides which, it only does it if the user tries getting the
|
|
properties of the mail store.

You could try a fingerprinting technique, I suppose - I'm pretty sure
|
|
that nearly every client (or at least, IMAP library) out there uses
|
|
slightly different techniques. I've never looked at doing that, but
|
|
I'd have thought it'd be possible.

Dave.
