I'd say a "a single number" or "a single sequence number".

written as *from*:*to*, e.g. **100**:**125**. As comma separated
list of sequences, e.g. **11,50,4**. It's also possible to combine
multiple sequences, e.g. **1,3,5,7,10:20**. Using ***** selects
multiple sequences, e.g. **1,3,5,7,10:20**. Using \* selects
the last mail in the mailbox.

For example 1:100 matches the first 100 mails and 101:200 the next
second hundred mails. 1,5,* matches the first, the fifth and the
last email.

Use `UID` (see below) to search by unique ID.

**ALL**
: Matches all messages.
