/**
* The UIDFolder interface is implemented by Folders
* that can support the "disconnected" mode of operation, by providing
* unique-ids for messages in the folder. This interface is based on
* the IMAP model for supporting disconnected operation.
*
* A Unique identifier (UID) is a positive long value, assigned to
* each message in a specific folder. Unique identifiers are assigned
* in a strictly ascending fashion in the mailbox.
* That is, as each message is added to the mailbox it is assigned a
* higher UID than the message(s) which were added previously. Unique
* identifiers persist across sessions. This permits a client to
* resynchronize its state from a previous session with the server.
*
* Associated with every mailbox is a unique identifier validity value.
* If unique identifiers from an earlier session fail to persist to
* this session, the unique identifier validity value
* must be greater than the one used in the earlier
* session.
*
* Refer to RFC 2060
* for more information.
*
* All the Folder objects returned by the default IMAP provider implement
* the UIDFolder interface. Use it as follows:
*
*
* Folder f = store.getFolder("whatever");
* UIDFolder uf = (UIDFolder)f;
* long uid = uf.getUID(msg);
