In the case I am aware of, you need to have UIDL of varying length.
Since POP3 UIDl are made by combining the mailbox's UIDVALIDITY and the
UID of a specific messages, you need to have message with UID that do
not have the same length in the same mailbox, ie UID 1 .. 9, 10, 11 ..
100, etc.

This mailbox would break Outlook 2002, according to the report I
received.
