UID SEARCH UID generates quite some data too, but it is just a
fraction of the above.
Well, you can improve on that too.
I use a combination of FETCH UID and UID FETCH UID, and a loop that splits
unknown UID ranges into smaller ranges.
Assume that in my

This is fine in theory, but how do you handle sorting?
I keep my client-side data sorted appropriately. When the server tells me

Do you mean 2**31-1?
No IMAP implementation is required to cope with UIDs bigger than 2**32-1.
