+Summary: imap_search not valid with RFC 3501 (still stuck
with IMAPv2)
Status: Open
Type: Bug
Package: IMAP related
Operating System: All
PHP Version: 5.3.3

New Comment:
The search string I provided in the example is to fetch all messages
where UID>=200.
The goal of this search is to keep up to date a webmail, without
retriving the whole mailbox content each time you want to synchronize
it, since you can't rely on the SEEN/RECENT flag (if the mailbox is
opened with another software in the meantime). Using dates to achieve
that is a dirty workaround...
imap_search() is stuck with the RFC 1176 (august 1990 !!111!!!)
PS: Sorry for the triple-post, this is my first bug report and I didn't
know we can't edit things.

There's a typo in the imap_search(), the resource is, of course, before
the search string :)

Description:
------------
Hi,
The imap_search function is not compliant with the RFC 3501.
We can not search messages using their UID.
Example : imap_search("UID 200:*, $link);
The output goes in the error_log with this message :
[27-Oct-2010 12:34:35] PHP Notice: Unknown: Unknown search criterion:
UID (errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0
Imo, this functionnality should be implemented for building advanced
webmails.
This is not a real *bug*, but more a lack of functionnality.
