Oke-dokee: give me all values of C where 200 >= C <= 400. 

You really don't know what you're talking about, don't you?

Not for your approval, that's for sure.

Would, by any chance, the following be an example of this so-called "valid 
IMAP" that Outlook Express generates: 

C: 06K0 NOOP
S: 06K0 OK NOOP completed
C: 06K1 IDLE
S: + entering idle mode
C: DONE
S: * 1 EXISTS
S: * 1 RECENT
S: * 1 FETCH (FLAGS (\Recent))
S: 06K1 OK IDLE completed
C: 06K2 CLOSE
S: 06K2 OK mailbox closed.
C: 06K3 UID FETCH 1:* (BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (References X-Ref X-Priority
X-MSMail-Priority X-MSOESRec Newsgroups)] ENVELOPE RFC822.SIZE UID FLAGS
INTERNALDATE) 

Would you mind pointing out to me the portion of the Sacred Scripture #2060 
that explains what FETCH is supposed to do after a folder is closed? 

This garbage is pulled directly from OE's log.  Before you claim the 
superiority of Microsoft's IMAP implementation you should do some homework 
first. 

> reference implementation clients,

Define a "reference implementation client".  If you're going to say "Pine", 
I'll make you eat your words by showing how Pine generates IMAP queries that 
are described by Sacred Scripture #2060 as "implementation-defined manner".  
In this case, Pine is relying on the UW-IMAP's implementation-defined 
behavior, and a reference implementation cannot do that, by definition.

The ugly truth of the matter is that "valid IMAP" is a rather elusive beast, 
in the real world.
