Anyone else find search operator "imap:" is bust?

E.g. when I created this stored search a few years back:

imap:"OR FROM dhall@inkski.com FROM dhall@almagen.com OR TO chrisjj@almagen.com TO chrisjj@chrisjj.com"

it found messages. But though those messages are still present, it now finds nothing.

Same with all my other stores searches using imap:.

I can well imagine that the migration from IMAP to JMAP broke this feature. I guess you should probably submit a support ticket about this and see what they say.

Thanks. Will do... when the quantity of my outstanding support tickets abates...

Yes, I think that is old syntax - I can’t see IMAP: as supported in the Fastmail help. They mention IMAP searches, but I’m confused by the syntax. And an old saved search I don’t see in Help still works: keyword:$forwarded

You should be able to perform the search you described simply as:

Code:

from:dhall@inkski.com OR from:dhall@almagen.com OR to:chrisjj@almagen.com OR to:chrisjj@chrisjj.com

Thanks. I am pretty sure I used imap: only because it was necessary, so I wonder what difference your recoded would yield.
