Ah, but Kai, qmail's IMAP server does just that! The UIDs were the
"time" portion of maildir's "time.pid.host" naming scheme. I sure hope
Courier doesn't do the same.
Since I've obviously been confused by this Message ID/UID dichotomy in
the past, I can't give much more detail than to say that nnimap tells
Gnus that there's a HUGE number of articles - and the number usually
correlates _very closely_ with the time-stamp difference between the
first and last message in the folder.
