With Maildir the message GUID is typically the same as the Maildir base filename (i.e. everything before ':' character).
But what if I one day decide to convert my maildir's to mbox'es? I really plan to do such conversion in a while (as soon as I finish the indexing system).
mbox? or mdbox? With mbox there are no proper GUIDs, but Dovecot kind of fakes it by returning MD5 of specific headers as GUIDs (so not 100% reliable). With mdbox GUIDs work even better than with Maildir, the GUID is always stored in the message's metadata.
