> 1). Won't this mess up the users' .uid file?
Yes, but it will be recreated automatically at next access.
> 2). Is there a way to update the .uid files, other than re-creating the index?
No.

Speed depends on the mailbox size and concurrent disk and CPU use by
other processes.

I believe that the CONVERT.EXE utility will do this for you in bulk,
but you might be better off just waiting for normal messages to come
in and trigger the reindex. Your usage patterns will dictate the best
course of action.
