What do you want to do with the messages that contain the UID?
Because of the processes involved, this could take a long time to run if you have a lot of stored messages.
Thank you so much for your response ... I suppose the searching part is a bit more ambitious than I anticipated.

What about a macro that just searches the subject field of the currently selected email to find the UID and copy that into the clipboard?

The UID always follows the format of four numbers a hyphen and six numbers. The first four numbers are a year, the last six numbers are a serial number. So it's safe to say the first two numbers of the year will always start with a 20 and the first number of the serial will start with a 0, e.g., 20##-0#####. Case numbers look like 2019-012345, 2020-029415 and 2021-000325.
