To be honest I don't know as I've never seen that message from
the UW imapd before.

I suspect that the UIDs on one of your folders have been reset
though even assuming that I'm not quite sure what the message is
trying to say...

OK, what I think has happened is that one of your folders has
somehow become corrupted.

Each message has an X-UID header which is added by the server and
gives the UID of the message. That error seems to be given when the
server finds a message with a UID which is lower than the previous
message's UID number.
