In version v2021.7.28.0 we added a IMAP4 Custom Search Query option for the Second API Vendor (Vendor 2 – CK). This will give you quite some power to customize your search queries.
Select ‘Custom Search Query’ and add a ‘Search Filter’ for Email Matching Criteria.
Return all messages.
Search Filter: ALL
Search for already-answered emails.
Search Filter: ANSWERED
Search for messages on a specific date. The date string is DD-Month-YYYY where Month is Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, or Dec.
Search Filter: SENTON 05-Mar-2007
Search for messages between two dates. SENTBEFORE finds emails sent before a date, and SENTSINCE finds email sent on or after a date.
The “AND” operation is implied by joining criteria, separated by spaces.
Search Filter: SENTSINCE 01-Mar-2021 SENTBEFORE 05-Mar-2021
Another example of AND: find all unanswered emails sent after 04-Mar-2007 with “Problem” in the subject.
Search Filter: UNANSWERED SENTSINCE 04-Mar-2021 Subject “Problem”
Find messages with a specific string in the body.
Search Filter: BODY “problem solved”
Using OR. The syntax is OR <criteria1> <criteria2>. The “OR” comes first, followed by each criteria.
For example, to match all emails with “Help” or “Question” in the subject.
You’ll notice that literal strings may be quoted or unquoted. If a literal contains SPACE characters, quote it.
Search Filter: OR SUBJECT Help SUBJECT Question
