   For example, to match all unanswered messages sent by Mom, you'd use:
   "UNANSWERED FROM mom". Searches appear to be case insensitive. This
   list of criteria is from a reading of the UW c-client source code and
   may be incomplete or inaccurate (see also RFC2060, section 6.4.4).

   Valid values for flags are SE_UID, which causes the returned array to
   contain UIDs instead of messages sequence numbers.
