Yes I think so, however the problem comes in with the way we have to handle 
IMAP messages, i.e. delete an old one and create a new one (as opposed to 
modifying an existing one). I did use the UID as the Memo ID for a while, 
however when deleting and recreating the message the UID changes, meaning 
Mnemo loses track of the message. Using the X-MemoID Header was the only way 
I could track a unique memo id across the IMAP read/writes that we have to 
do.
