Hello,
I am looking at PARTIAL responses using a dovecot version 2.2.5 and am running into an inconsistency with the RFC which I would like to ask about. The following section http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5267#section-4.4 lists client requests and server responses which I have tried running against a folder, specifying the ranges that fit the contents of the folder I have selected. The Last of the listed client requests returns a response that is not as I would expect: C: A04 UID SEARCH RETURN (PARTIAL 24000:24500) UNDELETED UNKEYWORD $Junk should return S: * ESEARCH (TAG "A04") UID PARTIAL (24000:24500 NIL) // No results are present, this is beyond the end of the results. S: A04 OK Completed. according to the RFC, but instead of NIL in the PARTIAL result I see the full range of UIDs that are in the folder, as in: C: A02 UID SEARCH RETURN (PARTIAL 23500:24000) UNDELETED S: * ESEARCH (TAG "A02") UID PARTIAL (23500:24000 1:9) S: A02 OK Search completed (0.000 secs). The folder that is selected contains 9 emails with the UIDs 1-9. Should the server return NIL Instead of returning 1:9? Thanks! Anders
