Hello Devs.

Direct Reply by Email is broken in 3.12.0-rc.1. Don't know if it worked before. Just tried this feature after a long time again. Here is what the logs say:

I20210227-10:32:41.388(1) Exception in callback of async function: Error: Expected array for search criteria at Connection._search (/opt/rocketchat-3.12.0-rc1/programs/server/npm/node_modules/imap/lib/Connection.js:573:11) at Connection.search (/opt/rocketchat-3.12.0-rc1/programs/server/npm/node_modules/imap/lib/Connection.js:566:8) at IMAPIntercepter.getEmails (server/email/IMAPInterceptor.ts:99:13) at server/email/IMAPInterceptor.ts:46:11 at Connection.<anonymous> (/opt/rocketchat-3.12.0-rc1/programs/server/npm/node_modules/imap/lib/Connection.js:432:7) at Connection._resTagged (/opt/rocketchat-3.12.0-rc1/programs/server/npm/node_modules/imap/lib/Connection.js:1535:22) at Parser.<anonymous> (/opt/rocketchat-3.12.0-rc1/programs/server/npm/node_modules/imap/lib/Connection.js:194:10) at Parser.emit (events.js:314:20) at Parser.EventEmitter.emit (domain.js:483:12) at Parser._resTagged (/opt/rocketchat-3.12.0-rc1/programs/server/npm/node_modules/imap/lib/Parser.js:175:10) at Parser._parse (/opt/rocketchat-3.12.0-rc1/programs/server/npm/node_modules/imap/lib/Parser.js:139:16) at Parser._tryread (/opt/rocketchat-3.12.0-rc1/programs/server/npm/node_modules/imap/lib/Parser.js:82:15) at Socket.Parser._cbReadable (/opt/rocketchat-3.12.0-rc1/programs/server/npm/node_modules/imap/lib/Parser.js:53:12) at Socket.emit (events.js:314:20) at Socket.EventEmitter.emit (domain.js:483:12) at emitReadable_ (_stream_readable.js:557:12) at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:83:21)

Research direction

Start at server/email/IMAPInterceptor.ts, especially line 99 from the stack trace, and inspect the search criteria passed to the IMAP connection. Reproduce the issue by enabling Direct Reply and replying to an email on the reported setup. Done means the IMAP handler no longer crashes and the email is processed by Rocket.Chat.
