FWIW, pop3 UIDL wasn't widely adopted (on either servers or clients) because
(IMHO) it requires that the clients all be able to share a store of id's. That
excludes a large subset of the desired users (for example, people who want to
be able to also check mail from their mobile phone client).
It's still worth implementing, mind you - but these days most users will still
prefer IMAP for a variety of reasons. (All IMHO, of course).
Hope that helps,
