Ok, so maybe I'm crazy, but couldn't the UID be generated in a reversable
form from the filename itself? Thereby eliminating the database and allowing
a message to keep it's UID across file moves?

Maybe I'm oversimplifying, but is there a reason such a scheme is
impossible?

I would redirect and say that my point is that the *mechanism* by which
courier-imap updates the uid file feels like it could use improvement.
Regardless of which filesystem you use, if you have (for example) 10,000
messages in a single folder, simply copying a message to that folder
results in a large amount of I/O and quite a bit of CPU time as well.
