I remember once seeing something about the ability to generate UUIDs
[was that Cyrus or something else?] but I don't know how to turn that
on/off.
Ugh, I'd advise against it. Why not do them on the 'protocol' level?

That certainly makes the archives easier to use.
Thanks very much for your advice. If this task could handled in the protocol level. That should be great.
Here are what i wanna do:
Some mail clients has the feature to archive the messages by date. For instance, they could create a mail folder named by the month such as 2009-08 each month.
I wanna do this operation on the server side. So i have to created the folder then find all the message in this month then move all of them to the new folder.
But i am not sure the protocol operations if i don't know the password of every account. If i wanna do this via Perl, do you have some good idea?
