Hi,
I am getting IMAP FETCH FLAGS in response to SORT and SEARCH commands
for my INBOX. See the following transcript between dovecot (marked
with S:) and an imap client (marked with C:) for an example SEARCH
command.
C: A004 UID SEARCH CHARSET ISO-8859-1 ALL TEXT {4}
C: test

Mozilla Thunderbird and Apple Mail seem to be able to cope with this,
but squirrelmail chokes when it receives those flags.
I get them only for my INBOX and not for other folders like sent
mail, so the behaivour seems to depend on the content of the folder.
It occurrs at least with dovecot 1.0alpha4 and 1.0alpha5 using
maildir. I have not tested other versions / mbox format.
Is this behaviour expected?
regards, Michael
