If I see it right, the mapping is localUID:remoteUID, so you will have
to find out the corresponding remote UID. Looking at the pattern of
UIDs, I would take a bet that your missing UID is: 213742

The only way to *really* find out is to fetch the UID from the local and
the remote imap server using raw IMAP commands.

Or to make a backup from the remote IMAP server
to a local Maildir repository and check the UID in the filenames in that
Maildir.
(and same with the local IMAP dir and search for the mail with UID=61414

But as I said, using 213742 looks like a pretty safe guess in your case.

This database also looks like a good candidate for sqlite'ification.
