  For some reason, this doesn't seem to work for me. I mostly
(but not always!) end up with a "Requested message not found".
Come to think of it, of the two accounts I'm using, one is
always returning the above error, and the other is working OK
and displaying the desired message. The account that isn't
working always has messages indexed above 100 (as seen in the
link when I click on them in imp), which is not what I get for
index when I fetch messages through my, horde-independent, code.
I suppose there is a setting or something similar that causes
that increment in message index, I'll look into it but if you
know the reason causing it I'd appreciate an explanation (it
would save me some time :-). Also, Chuck's UID suggestion seems
just the straightforward way I need, so I'll have to look into
that too :-)
  Also, while testing, I always manage to get an "[ALERT] Fatal
error: Invalid index" when accessing an empty folder (through
mailbox.php). I've googled around this list and searched through
bugs archive but all I could find was reports and no resolutions
or useful replies. Anyone has any idea what's causing and how to
fix that error?
