Note that UID != message id. There is a Message-ID header which is a
property of an incoming message. The IMAP server assigns a UID to
each incoming message using some method, but most probably it does not
take the Message-ID into account. Note that two IMAP servers which
store the same message will have the the same Message-ID but will
probably assign different UIDs.
What's a Message-ID useful for, then? Well, the IMAP server could
store a list of Message-IDs recently seen, and when a message arrives
twice, this can be detected.
