UIDL Question

Hi All,

I have received a complaint from a vendor who supplies our organisation with a 
CRM product.  It seems that when the CRM application downloads messages via 
POP, it sees the UIDL for these all these messages as being the same.

I did a test by telneting to our server and saw the following results:

UIDL
+OK unique-id listing follows
1 2579-1189132072
2 2580-1189132072
3 2581-1189132072
4 2582-1189132072
5 2583-1189132072
6 2584-1189132072
7 2585-1189132072
8 2586-1189132072
9 2587-1189132072
10 2588-1189132072


A quick search of the docs only revealed the following:
"The UIDL implementation is based on IMAP4 Universal Identifiers."

Does anyone know how the IDs are generated?
