search with UID ranges returns nothing under certain circumstances

Currently it seems that UID range searches (e.g. [ 'UID', '5:'] require that at least the starting index must be a real UID.

This might not be possible due to the IMAP spec, but it would be nice if the range simply caught all emails that fell in that range, even if the starting index does not map to a real email.

There's not much I can do about that, but you should use the asterisk instead of nothing (e.g. ['UID', '5:*']).

Ah, thanks - I'll give that a shot. Should perhaps the README be updated to reflect this? (it just says "#:" there.)

Let me know if using the asterisk does work for you, I think I have all of the asterisks properly escaped now in the readme....

This is fine but it does sort of break with the Markdown philosophy of readable markup - but it gets the point across, I feel.
