A sequence of numbers encoded as a string. In one of the forms:

'1,2,3,4' or '1:4'

The numbers can be either message sequence numbers or uids.

It's a list of message numbers. The ones returned by a
"SEARCH" command.

I am using the fetch command from the imaplib to fetch messages. I get a result, but I am a bit uncertain as to how I should interpret it. The result is described at http://pydoc.org/2.3/imaplib.html as:: (typ, ) = <instance>.fetch(message_set, message_parts) In RFC 2060 it says: "The data items to be fetched can be either a single atom or a parenthesized list."

imaplib use exception to report errors, but some problems must be detected by checking the return value ! For example, when trying to append into a mailbox with wrong ACL, imaplib return 'NO', but dont raise any exception (I give a sample at the end). This make error handling more complicate, because any imap statement is supposed to be followed by a test of the returned value! Why not report all problems using exceptions ?

setacl and getacl look to be already "Cyrus" specific (according the doc), why not to extend imaplib a little bit more ? Here are some code I wrote and tested to support cyrus "expire" that manage how long a message can stay into a mailbox. This is usefull for NEWS server ! The code is preceded by lot of sample.
