IMAP UIDBATCHES Extension

The UIDBATCHES extension of the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) allows clients to retrieve UID ranges that partition a mailbox's messages into equally sized batches. This enables clients to perform operations such as FETCH, SEARCH, and STORE on specific message batches, providing better control over resource usage and response sizes. The extension is particularly useful with the UIDONLY mode where sequence numbers are unavailable.
