That ID number is based on a local configuration, and should not be used in
remote storage such as IMAP.  Doing so is a bug, IMO.

The account identifier in a draft should change to something that can identify
the account globally; for instance, something based on username, hostname and
port of the IMAP or POP connection.  The account's email address would probably
be sufficient, and at least superior to a magic number.

What you suggest may be a decent workaround, but it's something I would not
expect most users to be able to do.
