i'm trying to do some general searches against IMAP, but it's our own internal exchange with IMAP service. None of my queries are coming back.
http://www.example-code.com/csharp/imap_search.asp
i thought search syntax was same across imap clients.
any help is greatly appreciated. this is a show stopper for me in using this api.
thank you
Allen

Hi Allen,
there can be differences between the available commands as well as search queries for different servers. For example, Mail.ru IMAP server does not support a bunch of search queries, which is pretty sad. Here we have to use the queries which are working (most of them are time definite, such as SINCE).
Basically, the syntax for the IMAP search command is described in the official IMAP specification: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-6.4.4
As far as I know, the exchange server does support most of them. Can you post some of your code here? It might be a problem in the syntax. It would also be useful if we had a log file to see what the server is responding (See [Debugging ImapX](https://imapx.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Debugging%20ImapX&referringTitle=Documentation))
Greets,
