My changes for the IMAP feature can be found here: https://github.com/vandry/mairix Here are some brief instructions on how to use it. Previously you had three ways of specifying the source folders in the mairixrc file: maildir=folder1:folder2 mh=folder1:folder2 mbox=folder1:folder2 Now you have a fourth option: imap=folder1:folder2 That's for source folders. If you want to place the search results in an IMAP folder too (recommended), you can do it like this: mformat=imap Of course you need to tell mairix how to connect to the IMAP server: imap_server=mail.example.com And the IMAP server probably needs for you to log in too, so this: imap_username=myusername imap_password=mypassword If you have shell access to the same system that runs your IMAP server, you may be able to connect directly to the IMAP server without using a TCP/IP connection and it will know who you are so you don't have to give it a username and password. In that case, you can use the following option instead of imap_server, imap_username, and imap_password: imap_pipe=/usr/lib/dovecot/imap If you want to switch all your source folders from non-IMAP to IMAP (or vice versa), you might want to consider deleting mairix's database file and starting over from scratch because mairix will have to reindex all of your mail anyway. I have tested all of this with my own email and it seems to work so far. Please let me know if you try it out and encounter any problems.
