Message UUIDs are used to replicate the single instance store (see 
docs/text/install-replication). This won't have much effect when you first 
replicate a mailstore as sync_server in 2.3 only tracks the last few 
thousand messages that have been uploaded. It becomes much more effective 
when a replica has been seeded and you switch to "rolling" replication.
