In order to support IMAP's message unique identifiers (UIDs), for which
the VMS MAIL message store itself has no satisfactory equivalent, the
PMDF IMAP server uses auxiliary files, one such auxiliary file per IMAP
hierarchical folder or actual VMS MAIL mail file. The auxiliary file
for a VMS MAIL mail file will be named
mailfilename-UIDDIR where
mailfilename is the name of the underlying mail
file.
The auxiliary file for an IMAP hierarchical folder will always be named
MAIL.MAI-UIDDIR and stored in the same directory as the hierarchical
folder itself.
