So that means: From a "security" point of view, when using maildir (!) there's no need to remove such headers, cause dovcote ignores them (on maildir) always. Right?!

(set by the remote side, not by Evolution) ... and in no case these should be able to mess around in my dovecot :) > UIDs, UIDVALIDITY etc is preserved if you copy the dovecot-* files > with it (which is a good idea to do). I'll have a question on that too, but ask it under a separate mail in a few minutes,.. cause it doesn't fit this thread anymore ;) Thanks, Chris.
