dovecot - Nov 2004 - [Fwd: Re: [Evolution] evo confused when searching message bodies on large folders?]

Is this possibly a problem with dovecot 0.99.10.9?

Maybe it's been fixed in a later release?

Might it be a security issue?

Thanks!

I think it must be fixed. I regularly do body searches using evolution
and dovecot 0.99.10.5 on folders with 20k messages without any problems.
