yes, you can simply change it ... in principle (and it worked just fine
for me, multipe times).
make sure that the message UIDs still match despite the changed
UIDVALIDITY - if they don't, you lose all messages.
use some online-imap client which can display UIDs (i think i used
thunderbird, because i had it set up anyway; i suspect mutt can do that
as well) to take some random samples (if the UIDs changed, all of them
would).
the lower-risk approach is deleting the state files, so mbsync
propagates the messages both ways again. then use D~= in mutt to throw
out the dupes.
