Yes. It is an unique opaque identifier.

>and: who exactly generates that ID header at the moment?

Apparentply the mail server. I read the related rfc and it did not say
whose responsibility it is to generate one, but insisted that every
mail should have one.

I sent me a mail using claws-mail and saw that it generated an id and
that both the mail stored in my sent folder and the one I received are
collapsed in notmuch/alot b/c of the same id. That obviously didn't
happen while alot saved the mail w/o id and I received one with an id
generated by my exim installation.
