There are a number of problems in the javamail SearchTerm classes.  The fall 
into several general categories:

1)  Some search terms rely on method calls in the Message class that can return 
a null result.  This leads to null pointer exceptions when performing 
client-side match operations. 
2)  A number of classes don't override the equals() method and ensure that the 
other object is of the correct type.
3)  Some equals method implementations don't include all data items in the 
compare, which can lead to false positives.
4)  The hashCode methods don't always include all data items in the hash.  In 
at least one case, an item is included that will create an invalid hash that 
will violate the hashCode()/equals() general contract.
