Reopened as documentation problem as this is at least the second time this has been reported as bug.
From Mark Crispin (author of c-client?)
"POP3 UIDs are not supported.
This is a permanent restriction."

As far as I can see,
The following text for the manual says that there will be unique numbers, not numbers that change
over time, and the only unique numbers that are available for a message is the UIDL number from the
server,
From the php manual:
This function returns the UID for the given message sequence number. An UID is an unique identifier
that will not change over time while a message sequence number may change whenever the content of
the mailbox changes. This function is the inverse of imap_msgno().
In other words, an UID is not a seq number that starts with 1, goes on with 2 3 4 5 6 etc. etc. and
then starts all over when the mailbox is empty...

uhhh... no, it shouldn't. Those are not UID's.

The following code should echo out the Unique ID's generated by UIDL on the IMAP/POP Server,
but echo's out a sequencial number starting with 1 instead...
It should probably produce ID's like, 3afffb5300000001, 3afffb5300000002, etc. etc.
$mbox = imap_open ("{your.imap.host:143}", "username", "password");
$headers = imap_headers ($mbox);
if ($headers == true) {
while (list ($key,$val) = each ($headers)) {
echo imap_uid($mbox, $key);
}
} else {
echo "No messages in inbox";
}
