Subject: [9fans] searching in email using imap
Date: Sat, 27 Aug 2011 20:55:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOEdRO1tYrprX38KqEbUSeB520bROYAi3O2rzmW6KP7sd6FfFA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

when using gmail via web, one
i) immediately sees what folders/labels they have,
ii) can search the mail (i.e. also its contents).

I'd like to know how one can/could obtain this information when using imap.
I believe (I read it somewhere) that imap has some means to ask the
server to search the mail...
(It'd be nice to have such possibility somehow integrated into acme/Mail.)

Can anybody comment on this?

Thanks!
Ruda
