So? I still see no evidence that a message with *UID* 2 exists. The 
response only shows that a message with *sequence number* 2 exists! That's 
why I said that the actual command is quite different from what you claimed 
it was. This command will give you a response whenever there are at least 
two messages:

10 FETCH 2 BODY[1]

This command won't give you a response even if there are 100,000 messages 
in the mailbox if none of them has UID 2:

10 UID FETCH 2 BODY[1]
