Norman Maurer resolved IMAP-221.
--------------------------------

      Assignee: Norman Maurer
    Resolution: Invalid

I missed the important word "unsigned". In java all types are signed so we need to use a long. So everything is fine .. stupid me.

Here is the important phrase which is used in the rfc:

nz-number       = digit-nz *DIGIT
                    ; Non-zero unsigned 32-bit integer
                    ; (0 < n < 4,294,967,296)

> Currently we use long/Long as return type when a message uid is retrieved. Thats wrong as the RFC only allow 32-Bit numbers. We should change the methods to make this clear.
