Re: Not yet squattered emails are always returned on any search (3.4 and later)

Hi Gabriele,

i reported the a related problem almost 5 years ago

https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/2598
There was a patch to to fix the problem that was merged into the master
branch and should be in cyrus 3.6. But i have not tested it jet fully.
The handeling of unindexed mails may have been not included in the patch.

I would like to see the return of a fully functional squatter, as it is much
easier to set up als xapian.
