So, each message has a (U?)UID? Are the integers a subset of that?
UIDs increase monotonically within a folder. Sequence numbers are just the index number into the dynamic array that represents the current set of messages visible withing a folder. UIDs never change (for all practical purposes), whereas sequence numbers change all the time.
