Entry_Id for IMAP account emails

Hello,

Outlook internally uses a unique EntryId as an identifier for every item in
Outlook.
Every time Outlook synchronizes the emails in its IMAP account, is it
possible that each item gets assigned a different EntryId? or does Outlook
somehow remember what EntryId had been assigned to each item and makes sure
that the same is reassigned?

Unless items are downloaded from the server IMAP items are stored on the
server and retrieved as needed. I suppose it would depend on the server.
You'd have to experiment and see.
