IMAP unique IDs are not globally unique, unlike POP3 UIDs.  Also the
Unique IDs are not consistent between sessions (they are usually just
the message number in the mailbox which will change with an expunge).

The tuple (IMAP UIDVALIDITY value, Folder, UID) is unique
however. That's why there is a UID in addition to the message number.

(Server, Folder, UIDVALIDITY, UID)

OK, thanks for the correction.
