The most common cause of this is a client error (e.g. a user reinstalls Outlook Express thus removing the list of UIDs). However, Warrick's issue was that quite a few users were re-downloading email. I don't know how many users this really is, but if he's talking dozens of users, it's far more likely that it had to do with the new server than anything else.
