>From the /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf comments on my machine:

   # POP3 UIDL (unique mail identifier) format to use. You can use
   # following variables:
   #
   #  %v - Mailbox's IMAP UIDVALIDITY
   #  %u - Mail's IMAP UID
   #  %m - MD5 sum of the mailbox headers in hex (mbox only)
   #  %f - filename (maildir only)
   #
   # If you want UIDL compatibility with other POP3 servers, use:
   #  UW's ipop3d         : %08Xv%08Xu
   #
   # [... snipped ...]

# So, you'd want to add to your dovecot.conf:
#
pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu
