> I stop worryng about edge cases by edge users

Are those not the users who help nail down the bug per se?

 #c45  stop imap search

Wouldn't it be better to indicate IMAP server deficiencies to the user
and disable features for problematic users and not punish everyone else
with dimished functionality?  [ditto #46]

> There were other reasons to switch it - e.g., filters that check if a
sender is in an address book only work locally

How is that a reason?

Local filters should run as local filters and not attempt to run as
server filters.

> or we could figure out how to do hybrid searches, partly locally,
partly on the server

yes, please


#48
> Since I am the admin of my IMAP server

That could allow for extensions to manipulate server's EXIM rules [for
future messages]


>  other workaround is to configure your IMAP folders for offline use

That's not helpful in an ideal way.


#39
> [2007] Isn't IMAP trendy enough for the programmers to make it work?

It should be by now as many smart phones default to IMAP -- as android
when microsoft ActiceSync is not available.

Else the option of Z-Push or ZCP or whatever it's been forked in to N
months from now.
