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.
