I wanted to comment on the sudden change.I assume they've switched their IMAP serving infra and sadly this will now always be slow unless they change back or can configure full text search in their new infrastructure.If you happened to be keeping the alpine debug logs it might show the point where the server ident changed.
No... I don't have alpine logs.I have imapsync logs, but maybe a year old. They might show a server software change.
I would contact them as it's possible it's just a tick box on whatever service they're using. They might be using an off the shelf imap daemon on their own servers, or might be white labelling a 3rd party service like MS.
No, they are a big email provider, this is intentional. They are very thick headed, I know from the times I had to talk to them.
For instance, lately, I got a virus on the mail, undetected by them. I reported it, an on the feedback they kept using a book of recipes for the answers and talking about how to handle spam instead of malware.
It's not impossible it was an oversight. OTOH your own sync so a local more capable imap server if you are okay constantly running one, will undoubatbly be fast and useful in its own ways.
They never supported full search. The problem is that now some headers (List-Id=...) are now excluded from the search on headers.
Oh, I don't do a sync. I just use sync software to move old mails now and then to my own local server. So for the daily mail I use their server on several machines.
