Issue with UID from email

[john renfrew 44]

I created a scratch file to test the functionality and the details given me by the client...

The uid returned from the EmailReadMessageValue (uid) was numeric in the range 998-1006

I copied the scripts into a test real file and the same scripts are bringing me back a value like UID1006-1601907140

I re-ran the script in the scratch file under debugger and set results,  numeric upwards from 1006

 

Can you explain the difference between the results, which one I should trust and how do I feed the uid=$value in the EmailReadMessages???

Fixed..

I had left the type field off the setup layout so it was connecting as POP and not IMAP, when you do it gives the numeric version...
