I've had a number of Dovecot installs happily running for quite a few
years now, but I've just stumbled over a new issue. I am trying to get
some iPhones to do server-side email searches through
ActiveSync/Exchange protocol -> Horde -> Dovecot.
The bit I can't figure out is if I need to enable and configure FTS in
Dovecot for that to work? I've tested server-side email searches against
the same Dovecot server on Thunderbird - through IMAP (there is an
option to force the search on the server in Thunderbird) - and it is
working really well and fast. I am only really interested in
Sender/Recipient/Subject searches.
Server-side searching is not working at the moment on the iPhones side -
although I can see the ActiveSync commands being sent to Horde. Anyway,
to begin with, does anybody know if server-side IMAP searches need FTS
in Dovecot (Horde is talking to Dovecot through IMAP).
The fact that they work fine in Thunderbird would suggest the answer is
'no' - but could someone confirm that is correct please?
Anticipated thanks for any hints. I am on Dovecot 2.2.33 if in case it
matters.
