What if a client has not done any IDLE or NOOP or anything in 28 minutes, and in that time 100 messages have arrived and been expunged without the client getting any notice (perfectly good imap), and our client then searches for all messages from 1000:1050 that contain the word "foo" in the body. Is there anything in the client's behavior that deserves a BAD response? I'd have to say that the logical response from SEARCH is that the empty set of messages, since no message actually matched the criteria. Andy -- Andreas Aardal Hanssen http://www.bincimap.org/
