OK, that ought to be fixed and I found what seems to be an
acceptable solution w.r.t. server-side overhead:
https://public-inbox.org/meta/20200612234924.GA31809@dcvr/

I've also just deployed a recursive descent parser for which is
hopefully compliant with the way IMAP search queries are parsed:
https://public-inbox.org/meta/20200616050540.13357-3-e@yhbt.net/

One of the annoyances of read-only IMAP is MUAs (unlike
newsreaders) lack the ability to store status flags for
new/unread messages.  I've got some ideas to deal with that on
the client-side...
