[Dovecot] Maildir migration and uids

I'm in the process of migrating a large number of maildirs to a 3rd party dovecot server (from a dovecot server). Tests have shown that using imap to sync the accounts doesn't preserve the uidl for pop3 access. My current attempt is to convert the maildir to mbox and add an X-UIDL header in the pr
