Description Reed Loden 2012-10-04 05:00:49 UTC 
With current CVS, if I try to do a quicksearch, I get an error dialog saying "Something went wrong during search. Please check you logs." (please correct 'you' to 'your' at some point)

claws.log shows:
IMAP4> 11 UID SEARCH OR KEYWORD <search term> KEYWORD <search term>
IMAP4< 11 BAD Command Argument Error. 12
Comment 1 Ricardo Mones 2012-10-04 08:21:38 UTC 
Can you tell us which quicksearch expression are you using to trigger this, what mode (subject, from, ...) and what flags (sticky, ...) are enabled?
Comment 2 Reed Loden 2012-10-04 08:35:06 UTC 
Mode: From/To/Subject/Tag
Flags: Recursive, Sticky

	* src/advsearch.c
		Fix double-tag search. Maybe fixes bug #2744,
		'Quick search throws bad command argument 
		error since recent change'. Patch by Sean.
Comment 4 Reed Loden 2012-10-04 22:00:59 UTC 
Nope, still broken.

Now I see:
IMAP4> 22 UID SEARCH KEYWORD test
IMAP4< 22 BAD Command Argument Error. 11
Comment 5 Colin Leroy 2012-10-04 22:12:25 UTC 
Thanks. It seems your IMAP server doesn't support KEYWORD search... 

Probably we should just eat the error and fallback to local search in that case.

(Reed, you may wonder why that problem just appeared, it's because we implemented IMAP server-side search in the last days).
Comment 6 Reed Loden 2012-10-04 22:32:26 UTC 
The IMAP server in this case is Microsoft Exchange 2010.

And yeah, I read the ChangeLog after I started getting errors, so that's what I figured. :)
Comment 7 Ricardo Mones 2012-10-04 23:09:31 UTC 
They seem to only support one argument for that:

Comment 8 Michael Rasmussen 2012-10-04 23:25:39 UTC 
And that specific keywork is: $MDNSent
"Microsoft Exchange supports only the $MDNSent keyword flag for the KEYWORD search key"

"E0001:

The specification states that the server can define keywords. (A keyword is a non-system flag.)

Microsoft

Hi,

I just commited a probable fix but couldn't test against Exchange, could you keep me informed after testing ?

Thanks!
