First of all, why do you think the uid on POP and IMAP servers has to be
the same?  Two different protocols do not have to have the same UID.

And why is it "wrong"?  What do you have, and what to you expect to get?

In IMAP, the uid should be constant as long as you don't close the imap
connection.  If you close and reopen it, the uid may very well change,
depending on what else has occurred in the mailbox.
