Title: search server-side in all folders possible?
Post by: patrickdrd on August 18, 2017, 10:33:47 am

hello,

I know I can do a server-side search in a message list/folder,
but is it possible to search server-side in all folders?

I'm using gmail

Hi, select folder "all messages", then use the server-side search.

you mean the gmail label "all mail"?

because, if you mean that, I don't use it, I don't have it shown in IMAP

Ok, didn't know that. Folder "all mail" is enabled for shown in IMAP for me.

Useful for (server-side) searches ;)

Yes but the "All Mail" folder is Gmail specific.

As for Aqua's "search in all account / folders", that does not search the mail server(s).

It is popping up in the search results:
"Search all loaded"

However, the app is searching only within the downloaded (cached) messages, not on the server.

thanks, I switched on "all mail" label, because I think it's a must for these searches after all

AquaMail is able to perform a server-side search in a selected folder. Need it often.

why is it possible to get search results for a part of an email address in sent folder and not in "all emails"?

i.e. I want to search mail from/to user e.g. "user1" (I don't remember the after the "@" part),
I get results when searching in sent folder, but not in "all email" folder

I tried the "from:user1" search in "all email", didn't work either,

can someone shed some light here?

edit: ok, I found that,I needed to use wildcard % at the end

It's weird, since you mention All Mail I suppose it's a GMail account - and that's it's also server side search. Then this really is a question for Google :)

When sending search commands to IMAP server(s), Aqua doesn't "mangle" the search term in any way...

the strange thing is that I had to use "%" as a wildcard, while google said that the asterisk "*' should be the wildcard  ::)
