Ok, I get it.
But the only way I can think of a client can detect that UIDs are not the same
for the same messages is by detecting that UIDVALIDITY has changed. So if only
dovecot-uidlist gets deleted but index (which store UIDVALIDITY) survives, what
will happen in the client ? Will he fetch the wrong data ?
Thanks.
