The server has no way of knowing whether two sessions are coordinated on the client side. It has to treat each session independently. In the case of IMAP, this means, among other things, that the server maintains a per-session mapping between messages and message sequence numbers. Consequently, message sequence numbers are not meaningful to a particular session until the server has added the appropriate entries to that session's mapping, which typically happens when the server notifies that session of the new messages. paul
