Actually Entourage 2004 adds a "Find on IMAP Server" command which will ask the server to do the search and push back the results. No need to have the messages cached anymore to search for them.
But presumably it can only search the headers of messages on the server, (subject, sent time, sender, etc.) and still can't search the body content until it downloads and decodes the message? Otherwise, why would IMAP rules not allow for searching Message Body?
It uses IMAP server-side functionality to do the searching (if the server supports it).
Thanks, Dan.
So if the server doesn't support it, does it first download to cache in order to search, or show an error, or give false negatives?
I think you can't get to the search dialog at all if your server doesn't support it.
Are there any servers that can search message body and attachments? If so, shouldn't IMAP rules have Message Body and Attachment criteria - especially if the fall-back is to download to cache if the server can't search?
I'm not sure.
Or is there some other reason why IMAP Rules do not offer Message Body and Attachment criteria? I always assumed it was because a message had to be decoded first.
This wouldn't help with an IMAP rule to look at the body. We wouldn't want to issue a server side search on every message we received. That would be incredibly inefficient.
