I was able to reproduce the problem, by running imtest
repeatedly against my post office server (po14), with the
following input:
A10 EXAMINE INBOX
A11 UID SEARCH *
A99 LOGOUT
Consistent with the other reports, the SEARCH occasionally
returns 0 messages; once it returned 2 messages, where,
coincidentally or not, the extra message was sequence 8,
as in the case reported by jhawk.
I believe this suggests a race condition in the server, and
have reported this to network.
