I was browsing the Courier IMAP source to see if there is a easy
modification to it, so we don't have to fix nnimap :-) but I was
somewhat surprised.  As I read imapscanclient.c:do_imapscan_maildir2()
Courier allocate UIDs starting at 1 and increases this by one for new
mails.  Maybe this has changed in recent versions?

Anyone with a Courier IMAP server that feel like debugging this to see
what is really happening?  Especially a sample cur/courierimapuiddb
would be interesting to see.  Mail me, I guess it's not terribly
relevant on this mailing list.
