Well, with v1.1+ it's possible to preserve both POP3 and IMAP UIDs (each

Yes, unless you're unfortunate enough to be supporting a non-standard
legacy message name format based on uuidgen!

I've no idea what uuidgen is, but..

    I did see the function where it attempts to compare based on the
"standard" filename format...but again, unfortunately I have to deal
with non-standard as well as the standard format :(

No, it works with everything with Dovecot v1.1+. Like it says above, you
can have in dovecot-uidlist:

1 Phello-world :12345.blah.host:2,

Now when opening such mailbox with POP3 and issuing UIDL command, you
actually get:

1 hello-world

uuidgen generates a random unique identifier with no way of gathering a date/time stamp from it. Here's an example filename: "ffad8168_ce4b_4d25_a54d_290ed9b3a7f6:2,S" It's not ideal for many, many reasons...
