Remarks

This class is an abstract parent of MessageNumberCollection and UidCollection classes.

Some methods of the Imap object (such as Search(Boolean, String, String)) can return both a collection of ordinal message numbers (MessageNumberCollection) and a collection of UIDs (UidCollection). The type of the returned collection is contolled via indexIsUid parameter value of these methods. Also, the developer should typecast the returned value to the appropriate type (MessageNumberCollection or UidCollection). See the sample code in Search(Boolean, String, String) topic for more information.

MessageNumberCollection and UidCollection classes can also be used to build and parse sequences of UIDs or message numbers in IMAP4 format (e.g. "5,8,14:22,24:26,35").
