[Dovecot] courier to dovecot

[Timo Sirainen]

IMAP and POP3 always have different looking UIDs, but with Courier it is often possible to generate POP3 UIDs from IMAP UIDs. Dovecot v1.x migration script relies on this. Dovecot v2.x migration script can handle completely different IMAP vs POP3 UIDs.
