Well, it supports UIDL only for normal folder operations. LAST is only
used for the <fetch-mail> function. For UIDL to work with <fetch-mail>,
mutt would need to cache all UIDLs it already saw.
It doesn't even support body cache, which could be helpful here since
messages are numbered by UIDL there. It's not implemented because fewer
users than the critical mass seem to miss this feature and want to see
<fetch-mail> work... :)
