How can I figure out which messages have been moved to different folders on the server since we last logged in? For example, there is a message in my inbox in exchange that I moved to my 'research' folder using Outlook. Now i fire up my client I've built with mailbee, how can tell see that the message has moved to the 'research' folder so I can sync my local copy of that message in to the local copy of my research folder.

As UIDs will change after moving message to a different folder, you'll need another property which is constant yet absolutely unique for a given message, and MessageID meets both the requirements.

The problem with using the MessageID is that it is NOT totally unique. If I am using Outlook and send myself an email the messageID for the message in my inbox, and sent items is the same. So if I then move the sent item to the research folder for tracking, and the one from my INBOX to another folder, how would I sync this.

Basically, it's safe to treat Message-ID as a message hash. So, if you have the same message in several folders, all those messages have the same content and thus they'd have the same Message-ID.

Your right the message would have the same content, but if the mail client allows you to mark certain messages a certain way, or attach them to certain tasks, or link them in any other way you lose that functionality. For example we pull emails for everybody and once they are received they can be attached to an entity for all employees to view, or marked as priority, and when it was responded to. From what I understand all that functionality will have a chance of being lost, because they might move that message in a different email client.
