If you do a migration, the first bunch of mails has X-UIDL headerlines
until you reach not yet read mail. A solution to avoid reading X-UIDL
lines from fresh arrived mail would be to ignore those lines if we did
once compute a md5-checksum. There is only one possible case then: if the
first message in a mailbox has a X-UIDL line.

What other patches have you made ? I'm still looking for the fix for the
buffer truncation problem :-(
