Support for MULTISEARCH
Does Dovecot presently support the MULTISEARCH command, or are there plans to do so?

Thank you - I'm aware of the virtual folder option and do use it. My interest is for a Windows client, EM Client, which I otherwise really enjoy. Unfortunately, they've implemented server-side searching only via MULTISEARCH - for reasons passing my understanding. So I was hoping to hear Dovecot either already had support or there were plans to implement it.

Virtual folder does not scale. Thank you for naming a client that does multisearch!

Virtual folder scales just fine. What makes you think it does not?
We have customers that have users with thousand folders and millions of emails and still virtual folder scales.

is this possible to *hide* the virtual folder from listing but make it SELECTable / EXAMINEable from IMAP?

thanks it is working now.
What client(s) use this and how? I've used virtual folders - by explicitly "subscribing" to them and then performing a search within them. By hiding the virtual folders how do you use them?

thanks it is working now.
It is not a standard email client but a web client I am trying to make use of this *hidden* virtual folder to perform a cross folder search :)
Well, the thread turned completely, still old subject
I have now created a virtual folder that /contains/ so to say, all the messages, where I want to get results from.
The folder is hidden, unlisted and cannot be subscribed too. There are just too many messages in there.
How can I get Thunderbird or maybe roundcube to use it for searching?
Would be very nice to learn that
Thank you in advance
