It is basically a standard, as it is defined with the POP3 protocol. It is
surely optional, but many other things in OTRS are, S/MIME for example.
However, I would recommend to add two additional boolean parameters in
regard to the UIDL functionality: "use UIDL" and "delete messages after
fetching". Some broken UIDL implementations do change the UIDL
occasionally, resulting in multiple deliveries of the same message, which
is rather undesirable with OTRS.

I believe that as of current, people wanting UIDL functionality with POP3
are using fetchmail/procmail/Piping-to-Postmaster constellations.
