Upload / append an email to an IMAP mailbox and get the UID of the appended email. Chilkat2 PHP

// If the capabilities string contains the substring "UIDPLUS", then
// the UID of the appended email will be available in the AppendUid property (see below).

// For example, the GMail IMAP server has these capabilities (at this current time)
// * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UNSELECT IDLE NAMESPACE QUOTA ID XLIST CHILDREN

// If the IMAP server does NOT have UIDPLUS, then a program can
// first select the mailbox, get the value of the UidNext property,
// and then append.  The appended email SHOULD have a UID equal to
// the UidNext that was obtained just prior to appending (assuming no other
// program is simultaneously appending an email to the same mailbox).

// Note: It is not required to select a mailbox to append.  The select is only
// done for the purpose of obtaining the UIDNEXT value.
