But there is another reason in the imap requirements: UID values must be
strictly ascending within a mailbox.
Rather than making the UID just an autoincrement, why not make it a
function with time? Therefore as long as the servers are time sync'd
(easy with ntp) you should be able to increment the number based on the
time, perhaps there is some way to concatenate the date? E.g.
To have
Server A odd auto_inc
Server B even auto_inc
new uid = sql concat(unix_timestamp(), UID)
Therefore they should always increment and be unique between servers?
Worth a thought or completely silly?
