How to use SINCE on time level not just date level

check the code in Connection.js searchargs += modifier + criteria + ' ' + args[0].getDate() + '-' + MONTHS[args[0].getMonth()] + '-' + args[0].getFullYear();

It is possible to update it on date-time level?

uidvalidity itself doesn’t have any particular meaning, you just need to make sure it’s still the same value before you go to search on the last saved UID. If it’s different, you cannot assume the UIDs in the mailbox are still the same (the IMAP specification says servers “should not” ever change this unless absolutely necessary so chances are it probably will never change, but it’s best to be ready just in case).

So some pseudo-code might look like:

connect()
box = openbox()
if lastuidvalidity is empty or lastuidvalidity is not box.uidvalidity or lastuid is empty {
  lastuidvalidity = box.uidvalidity
  searchResults = search(since lastdate)
} else if lastuidvalidity is box.uidvalidity {
  searchResults = search(lastuid:*)
}
if searchResults.length > 0 {
  messages = fetch(searchResults)
  lastuid = getLargestUID(messages)
  lastdate = getLastDate(messages)
}

where lastuidvalidity, lastuid, and lastdate would be stored in some kind of permanent storage for use the next time you connect.
