UIDL shoudn't be needed for imap, since imap implements server side

Should have remembered that.

However, that probably means that the problem is with 1&1 having a
broken IMAP server (which doesn't surprise me, given how badly broken
their envelope-to headers are).

I'm using the UIDL support against a POP3 box in a similar situation
and have had no problems with it in the last 2 years.  Maybe it's
worth seeing if moving to POP3 solves your problem?
