It's google's IMAP servers.... sample conversation with the bug is
below. The skips are consistent (ie when i repeat fetching headers i
miss the same messege ids). I'm missing ~35 headers out of 280K:
...
4< * 50879 FETCH (UID 51970 RFC822.SIZE 14240 INTERNALDATE
"06-Mar-2008 16:51:29 +0000" FLAGS (\Seen) BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (DATE
FROM SUBJECT
TO CC MESSAGE-ID REFERENCES CONTENT-TYPE CONTENT-DESCRIPTION
IN-REPLY-TO REPLY-TO LINES LIST-POST X-LABEL)] {815}
Handling FETCH
FETCH response ignored for this message
imap_read_literal: reading 815 bytes
4< )
parse_parameters: `charset=ISO-8859-1'
parse_parameter: `charset' = `ISO-8859-1'
4< * 50881 FETCH (UID 51972 RFC822.SIZE 5665 INTERNALDATE "06-Mar-2008
17:56:51 +0000" FLAGS (\Seen) BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (DATE FROM SUBJECT
