— Section 3 —
Once the UIDONLY extension is enabled (see Section 3.1), the client
MUST NOT use message sequence numbers (including the special marker
"*") in any arguments to IMAP commands, and the server MUST return
tagged BAD response if the client uses message sequence numbers. The
server SHOULD include the UIDREQUIRED response code in such BAD
responses (see below).
I see nothing below that says why this is SHOULD rather than MUST, and I
can’t
imagine any justification for not including it. Why is this SHOULD?
Historically server inclusion of many IMAP response codes was a quality of
implementation issue.
In this case the client is clearly doing something wrong - it can't
accidentally enable UIDONLY and then not use UIDs anyway. I suppose
UIDREQUIRED can just be required, as it will help client implementers and
server operators.
Best Regards,
Alexey
