Description
From manual page: https://php.net/function.imap-search
I've tried on two different servers, and it seems that either:
- Emails that were moved from a different server.
or - Emails that have a different "To" address than currently connected to.
Don't work. I've manually Telnet'd to the servers in question, and copy-pasted the query - the server returns the expected results of the messages.
For example, if I have the message that has the following attributes FROM: abc@abc.com TO xyz@xyz.com SUBJECT test, and the server I'm connected to is "def@def.com", performing an imap_search([def@def.com], 'SUBJECT "TEST"') or imap_search([def@def.com], 'FROM "abc"') returns nothing.
