Unfortunately I don't think this is the correct fix. There can in fact be
holes in the MSN sequence.
I'm by no means an IMAP or mutt code expert (never touch mutt code, nor
studied the IMAP RFCs, until trying to fix this bug), but in RFC3501,
section 2.3.1.2, the MSN is described as "A relative position from 1 to
the number of messages in the mailbox". This implies there can be no
holes, or am I overlooking something?
This was observed in Trac ticket 3942:
