Reopening this.
This has nothing to do with the message id.

The cause of this bug is that KMail saves the list of UIDs of mails which it
has downloaded from the server, but not deleted, in a file which contains the
host as part of the filename. If the host is changed, it can't read the old UID
list anymore, and therefore doesn't know which mails were already downloaded.

(BTW, this is changed for the Akonadi POP3 resource, there the UID list is in
the general config file, therefore changing the host will not cause problems)
