When I'm back from several days without reading messages, I often have several
hundred mails in my INBOX. I have rules that process these messages to sort them
to folders. If one of these rules would result in moving more than 256 messages
in one shot to a folder, the rule fails and all the messages remain in the
original folder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fave more that 256 messages in INBOX
2. Create a rule that would move these more than 256 messages to another folder
3. Run the rule

Actual Results:  
Error message indicating that moving failed.

Expected Results:  
Moved the messages.

The actual error message is "The current command did not succeed. The mail
server responded: Missing required argument to UID COPY."

This also happens if you move MANNUALLY more than 256 messages from one folder
to another...

This is working for me on 2003052604.

Did a select all inside a folder.  Moved 624 messages to the inbox.  Ran message
filters on the inbox  and all went back to the folder from whence they came.
