Bug ID: 371228 Summary: enable remote search on IMAP servers Product: kmail2 Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: message list Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org Reporter: rjvber...@gmail.com Dan suggested on the kdepim-users ML that someone might want to submit a wishticket for a feature to allow remote search on IMAP servers, all the more since support for the feature is already implemented but dormant. In his words: > maybe we could add a checkbox to the "Quick Search" to enable it and allow > full-text search in a specific folder even if the bodies are not available > locally. Would not work for the "Search" dialog though. I've taken the bait, so here's the wish ticket :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Do a search in an IMAP folder which isn't configured to download all message bodies. Actual Results: Messages not available locally are skipped Expected Results: Those messages could be included on user request I've started to implement the feature. As I'm still using 4.14 that's the code base I'm using, but I suppose that porting should be relatively straightforward. The available support I've been able to find is part of Akonadi::SearchCreateJob, so that's what I've tried to use. Currently I'm getting a "cannot create persistent search" error, and I'm still stuck at how to get the actual results from the returned collection, but I hope it's a start. I'm not entirely sure why remote search couldn't be part of the "Search" dialog, given that the underlying code uses classes that support remote search?? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
