You'll need two round trips (at least) for that. It really depends on how "atomic" you need to be. You can issue a SEARCH followed by a PROPPATCH. If you need a true atomic operation, then you can LOCK, SEARCH, (test), PROPPATCH, UNLOCK. There are also funny things you can do with the If: header, but I'm not really clear on how it can be used in situations like this. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
