Are you *sure* that what you are saying is what is proper IMAP? Please
join the discussion (or search the archives) on the IMAP protocol
discussion.

The bottom line is: You are saying that a response is broken IMAP, and to
do that you should have proper backing, like from the RFC. The RFC doesn't
say that it's a range at all, it just says that comma delimits individual
numbers, and colon delimits between two numbers inclusive.

So the string "5:3", or "five to three", is 3,4,5 or 5,4,3, whichever you
like.
