I see that there is a file called:
~/Maildir/courierimapuiddb
which contains mappings for a numeric ID to the filename of an e-mail.
Does that file work with the pop3d as well? Would it pass that UID to the
POP client?
I could hack the mb2md script to create that file with the contents of the
X-UID tag in the old UW mbox e-mails if it does.
Any advice?

to CourierwithMaildir and POP3+Outlook Express issue
Here are some headers that Courier seems to just ignore and
pass along that
UW picks up and does something with:
Status: RO
X-Status:
X-Keywords:
X-UID: 555
Is there a way for Courier to be made to grab X-UID and
provide its value as
the message's UID so as to allow the desired behavior as
specified in my
original e-mail?

You can't. UW and Courier create POP3 UIDs in different
manners. That
UID is what the client uses to determine whether or not it's
previously
downloaded the message. If you're trying to migrate from UW
to Courier,
you'll need to get your users to stop leaving mail on the
server during
the migration, or you'll need to modify the script such
that it only
converts messages which are not marked as read.
