> Nothing as critical as MAILBOX-209 but there is a race condition if the UID
> current value is null.
> If so we set the value to one without checking if the value was updated.
> This may cause duplicated UID for UID 1, and possible message loss ( as the
> primary key is the pair of the mailbox ID and the message UID ). We definitly
> don't want that to happen.
> Solving this bug is easy : we should also use conditionnal updates when UID
> is equal to 0.
