you can add another -V to see what data is being sent. though you could
end up with utter garbage on the screen. maybe pipe straight to 'less'.

no, the tuid is *temporary*, that's already in the name. it's box-specific.

the uid (25163) should be possible to find in the maildir by the
,U=25163 in the file name.

btw, it wouldn't have been necessary to use a temporary maildir (and the
associated cleaning up of the sync state from the fetch) - you can sync
two imap servers directly.
