can you give an example with HEADER / UID where we can search with MESSAGE id of the mail?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

UID SEARCH HEADER Message-ID <53513DD7.8090606@imap.local>

I wanna add RFC document link https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-6.4.4

is there a link with examples to these?

Do you know of a search key where the first/last email is found?

@tobiasm-1 This will gives you latest uid of email.
client.selectMailbox("INBOX").then((inbox) => {
let numberEmails = inbox.exists;
console.log("# messages: " + numberEmails);
return numberEmails;
})
