Ok.  That explains it.  That regex is looking for the message id, which is 
used to look in the index to see if that message has already been trained.  
Not finding it, it is ignoring the message altogether.

This is another fluke in imap to add to a growing list of flukes...

Just for fun, change the regex to:
   r"[0-9]+ \(FLAGS \(([\\\w]*)\) UID ([0-9]+)\)"
and see what happens...
