Hey can someone(s) with an IMAP account on a Microsoft Exchange server,
who is running Emacs from master, help me test search capability?
I just pushed a change to gnus-search that will help improve search
handling for Exchange servers, but there's more work to do.
In a nutshell: Exchange advertises the LITERAL+ capability. But it only
accepts searches using the US-ASCII charset. Right now, if the code sees
a non-ascii search string, and the server has LITERAL+, it will encode
the string using the literal+ format and send CHARSET UTF-8, which
results in an error from Exchange.
The other option is to ignore Exchange's LITERAL+ capability, and put
double quotes around the non-ascii string. I don't know if that will
work or not, that's what I need help testing.
I'm hoping someone will:
1. Pull and build today's Emacs code.
2. Search an ascii-only string like "FROM eric" (it doesn't matter if
you use the parsed queries or not) and verify it works.
3. Search a non-ascii string like "FROM Jérôme" (something that *should*
return results!) and tell me what happens.
4. Eval the method definition below, and repeat both of the above tests.
Thanks in advance!
Eric

How can I tell exactly if my organization is using Exchange? I'm
currently using regular IMAP access, but maybe the email server can be
configured in several other ways.

The server address should have something Exchange-specific about it, tbh
I'm not sure! But I got some help off-list with this, and actually I
think I'm okay. The sad result was that Exchange simply doesn't support
searching in charsets other than ASCII :(

You can run "telnet HOST imap" or "gnutls-cli -p imaps HOST" and look at
the greeting.
