ArrayValue

UniqueId

The message unique ID. The unique ID is permanent and does not change between sessions.

A message will retain its unique ID until it is deleted.

A minority of IMAP servers is not capable of unique IDs that persist accross sessions, and other servers might reassign its IDs when some special situation occurs, but even in these rare situations it is guaranteed that a unique ID that once identified a message in a folder will never identify a different message in the same folder.

However, it is important to notice that unique IDs are only unique inside a specific folder, and not accross different folders. Also, as a consequence of this, a message will be assigned a new unique ID if copied to another folder.
