 It was easy to figure what the next msgid is when hotmail used to
rely on WebDav, but since they changed there system the message
id .i.e msgid=2e49e4d3-355d-4163-ab66-8283dc2ecfcd, is so much more
difficult to understand.

Here is a short list of email messages id. They where sent to the
hotmail account within about one minute of each other, Monday 1, June,
2009 5:30pm. The most recent one is at the top and the oldest is at
the bottom:

0aa8ad9b-bb65-4271-8a05-e46f6676f34f
ab0e5bf4-334d-4d00-9168-c5afbe0c4eb4
7c5ce4ba-f28a-465b-88e5-0b486a1066f5

Is there a pattern?

 Suppose I know the id of at least one message and the total number of
messages in a hotmail inbox, is it possible to calculate what the next
msgid would be?
