   * Fixed remotepassfile option.  Closes: #153119.  Used 1-line patch from
     Tommi Virtanen.
+  * Now handles cases of not being able to get UID for an uploaded message
+    more gracefully.  This could occur if the server doesn't support
+    SEARCH, can't find the message ID, or finds multiple message IDs.

+.SS COPYING MESSAGES BETWEEN FOLDERS
+Normally, when you copy a message between folders or add a new message
+to a folder locally,
+.B OfflineIMAP
+will just do the right thing.  However, sometimes this can be tricky
+-- if your IMAP server does not provide the SEARCH command, or does
+not return something useful,
+.B OfflineIMAP
+cannot determine the new UID of the message.  So, in these rare
+instances, OfflineIMAP will upload the message to the IMAP server and
+delete it from your local folder.  Then, on your next sync, the
+message will be re-downloaded with the proper UID.
+.B OfflineIMAP
+makes sure that the message was properly uploaded before deleting it,
+so there should be no risk of data loss.
