To search the full message the client has to download the full message; I'm not sure what the surprise is. It you enable copy-message-for-offline-operation the client should just keep a copy locally at all times - that makes it less painful, sometimes faster, and eat more local disk space. I'm not sure if IMAP+ supports server-side IMAP SEARCH, or perhaps if your IMAP provider supports it either. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
