Yeah, now that you mention it, using the email address or host/port would mess
up a pretty typical use case...  to fix this corner case.  Oops. :-)

For sure.  The UUID would still give perfect matching to the same account on
the local client, and would avoid false positives on other clients.  Then with
the fallback, you may have covered off every case!
