telnet to the IMAP server in question on its IMAP port ex:
telnet mail.mydomain.com 143 It will return some info, example: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THRE AD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP ready. Copyr ight 1998-2008 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information. then ask for its capabilities: A1 CAPABILITY If it returns this: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD= EFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS A1 OK CAPABILITY completed (look for IDLE in the above) Now, you must login to the IMAP server to see it if supports searches, or specifically look up to see if your imap server supports searches. Here's the RFC (RFC-5182) http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5182 2.2. Examples 1) The following example demonstrates how the client can use the result of a SEARCH command to FETCH headers of interesting messages: Example 1: C: A282 SEARCH RETURN (SAVE) FLAGGED SINCE 1-Feb-1994 NOT FROM "Smith" S: A282 OK SEARCH completed, result saved C: A283 FETCH $ (UID INTERNALDATE FLAGS RFC822 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822>.HEADER) S: * 2 FETCH (UID 14 ... S: * 84 FETCH (UID 100 ... S: * 882 FETCH (UID 1115 ... S: A283 OK completed The client can also pipeline the two commands: Example 2: C: A282 SEARCH RETURN (SAVE) FLAGGED SINCE 1-Feb-1994 NOT FROM "Smith" C: A283 FETCH $ (UID INTERNALDATE FLAGS RFC822 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822>.HEADER) S: A282 OK SEARCH completed S: * 2 FETCH (UID 14 ... S: * 84 FETCH (UID 100 ... S: * 882 FETCH (UID 1115 ... S: A283 OK completed But, if you don;t get IDLE in Step 1, no point in trying to determine point 2.
