Description chris 2007-12-11 23:21:52 UTC 
Some IMAP servers will return:

   * SEARCH

as a legitimate "none found" response to a SEARCH command.  But mbsync reports
that response as "malformed SEARCH response" (which is incorrect), and then
fails to sync mail correctly.

There's a Debian report at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=413336
with a (very simple) attached patch which fixes the problem at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=01search.patch;att=1;bug=413336

It would be great to pull the patch into the Fedora RPMs.

Chris: Thanks for the report, though I nearly overlooked it if it weren't for
bug #425838 :( I commited the patch and am initiated the build in koji as
isync-1.0.3-4.fc9 [1]. Please test it and let me know if it fixes things for you.

I don't think this is serious enough for a Fedora 8 update (it doesn't impact
functionality, does it?). Is your opinion different?

Thanks Nicolas, will look at it later this week (unless it needs immediate
attention), setting NEEDINFO to myslef so I know it's my turn :)

Nicolas: The original issue was resolved, so I close this and have split issues
from your logs into two separate bug reports:

bug #428648 for the double-free() and
bug #428649 for the IMAP server warnings
