Using 1+UIDMAX could work as a guess though.
What exactly do you need UIDNEXT for? >> It's not explicitly in the 2060 rfc, it's just common sense; it doesn't >> make any sense to check the status of the folder that you are staring at, >> using a method that gives you unreliable snapshot info. >Indeed, thanks for the pointer.

Mark? It does work - it tells you the status of the mailbox at the time that you submitted the command. But one tick (ok, or two) later, the status can (and often, will) have changed. The STATUS command will attempt to access the mailbox that you have currently selected in your case, and the race between the two will confuse your client, however it's coded.
