SENTSINCE and SENTBEFORE are "Date" inputs (day-month-year) per RFC 3501. No timezone is allowed.
See, e.g., RFC 3501[6.4.4]: "Messages whose [RFC-2822] Date: header (disregarding time and timezone) is within or later than the specified date." doveadm search is just proxying IMAP compliant search strings, so it uses the RFC syntax requirements. michael > On 10/18/2025 11:25 AM MDT Philip Bondi via dovecot <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Hello to all: > > Would someone be able to comment on the correct method to specify timezone? > > [243] $ doveadm search -u [email protected] MAILBOX hover/INBOX-hover.mbx > SENTSINCE "2024-01-01" SENTBEFORE "01-Jan-2025" > fa6bc10562ee846855141f00d09efc50 4092 > fa6bc10562ee846855141f00d09efc50 4093 > fa6bc10562ee846855141f00d09efc50 4094 > fa6bc10562ee846855141f00d09efc50 4095 > fa6bc10562ee846855141f00d09efc50 4096 > fa6bc10562ee846855141f00d09efc50 4097 > > [244] $ doveadm search -u [email protected] MAILBOX hover/INBOX-hover.mbx > SENTSINCE "2024-01-01" SENTBEFORE "01-Jan-2025 00:00:00 -0400" > Fatal: Invalid search date parameter: 01-Jan-2025 00:00:00 -0400 > _______________________________________________ > dovecot mailing list -- [email protected] > To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] _______________________________________________ dovecot mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
