If we were to combine the multimailbox search with vfolder, what is 
expected to be used for UIDs in a view the includes multiple mailboxes?  
In the normal vfolder, the UID is the same one that exists in the 
underlying mailbox.  But since UIDs are only required to be unique 
within the mailbox, combining multiples and using the underlying UID for 
the message could result in duplicate UIDs.  So, that's not right.
