Hi,
I tried to trace it (better know than guess). I invoked a simple "body
contains evolution" search on a GMail Inbox folder from evolution and
that was done server-side, as can be seen here:
H02430 UID SEARCH BODY "evolution"
* SEARCH 112 116 376 468 748
H02430 OK SEARCH completed (Success)
I think it depends on the search itself, but the IMAPx tries to search
as much on the server as it can. Searching in summary headers is left
for a local search, of course.
Bye,
Milan
