Subject: [Imap-protocol] Searching for a given address
Message-ID: <DG7x5kcoweu1yy0IHfKQqg.md5@[10.0.0.123]>

Hi,

I'm struggling a little with address searches.

In IMAP, I can say

         a search from weber@example.com

and find all the messages from Herrn Weber, whose address is 
weber@example.com. As an extra added bonus, completely free of charge, 
I also get all the messages from Frau Weber, whose address is 
lieschen.weber@example.com.qa. Not desirable at the moment.

I don't see any safe way to search for an exact address. The best I can 
think of is 'from <weber@example.com>', but that looks like it might 
fail on some servers if the from field is just 'From: 
weber@example.com'.

Suggestions?

Arnt
