Hi there,
I'm looking into improving IMAP search support for the Gnus Emacs mail client, and trying to add the ability to search non-ascii characters. So far as I know, I start this invocation with something like:
. UID SEARCH CHARSET UTF-8 TEXT {NNN}
Where NNN is the number of bytes in my search string. Dovecot then responds with:
- OK
So... what do I do then? I don't actually know what the next statement is, to provide the actual search string itself. Googling has proved unhelpful, as most of the examples online don't actually show this "+ OK" response. Can someone just briefly outline what's meant to happen next? I've tried including the search string immediately after the byte-size, separated by various combinations of \n\r, but that always gives me a "Missing LF after literal size" error.
I'm using the Archlinux dovecot package, which reports version 2.2.13-1.
Thanks! Eric
