Questions:
How does Dovecot generate the POP3 UIDL?
Using pop3_uidl_format. %v means UIDVALIDITY and %u means message UID. With maildir those are taken from dovecot-uidlist file.
More generically there is also the pop3_reuse_xuidl option which I've used extensively in migration scripts from legacy POP3 servers; the scripts actually fetch from the legacy store using POP3 UIDL and just insert the header when spewing it to the dovecot store.
