Re: [Dovecot] Search for substring in header?

Quoting Dave Abrahams <dave@boostpro.com>:

Hi,

According to the IMAP spec (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2060#page-37), if I do a search for "TO isocpp.org" it should find all the messages whose To: field contains the string "isocpp.org", but dovecot is returning me an empty list. However, a search for "TO tm@isocpp.org" produces a long list of messages. What am I doing wrong?

First, you referenced the wrong RFC - RFC 2060 has been obsoleted by RFC 3501.

Second, your assumption is correct - TO should do a substring search.
But this works fine for me (using version 2.1.10).
