Hi all,

I have an Email-Server (sendmail) + IMAP (cyrus).

I can access my IMAP-folders with a Webmail program and with Outlook 2003.

The problem is when I start a search in a IMAP-folder.
With the Webmail program all is working perfectly.

The problem is with Outlook !!
With Outlook it seems me that only emails that I have opened from my PC are searched.

This is my explanation:
when I open an email from my PC, the content of this email is replicated locally (on my PC).
Probably Outlook do a local search (on my PC) and not on the remote IMAP-folder.
Therefore only emails that I have read from my PC are searched.

I can avoid this and do a "real" search ?

Thanks in advance. Clarissa
