    Larsi> Your nnimap INBOX seems to use message IDs that overflow the 32-bit
    Larsi> range.  This is something that nnimap just doesn't support
    Larsi> unfortunately, so there will be hangs.

Doesnʼt nnimap just use Emacs integers? Those are bignums now in
emacs-27, so that should work transparently even on a 32-bit host.
