Bigger answer... Mailbox state is kept in the UID file so deleting it will
tell any IMAP clients everything is unread. that;s the biggie

Subject: [IMail Forum] UID - safe to delete?
Due to the queue manager crashes experienced yesterday, we have many email
problems with so-called missing mail. WHen I delete the corresponsind UID
files, this issue gets resolved as expected.
So, two questions:
1) Does the queue manager write these UIDs *ever*?
2) I know IMAP does, but see no connection to a UID failure unless
queue manager also writes it.
Anyway, bigger question, ANy negative impact (other than server needs to
rebuild them) if I delete the UIDs
