What I am asking for is a way to reliably reproduce. I can't provide much more feedback since I have no idea where to being looking since I don't see this behavior. Thus, it will require you to track down to a certain area of the code to help out. Or to figure out ways to NOT trigger this error - that is potentially also useful information. I can't reproduce that behaviour also now. Searching are working well. Maybe there was problem in mbox when I noticed this problem. Thank you.

I have one more site where I can debug. I am not familiar with PHP. What I need do?

OK, Michael. I trust in your job. May be this is a specific problem with WU-IMAP or misconfiguration system. So, it's my fault. What I am asking for is a way to reliably reproduce.

I am searching for word "palomitas" using body search criteria in Enviados/Sent folder. I don't have this problem if the small folder. And I don't have this problem at all. Even searching on a mailbox with 100,000 messages. OK, Michael. I trust in your job. May be this is a specific problem with WU-IMAP or misconfiguration system. So, it's my fault.

OK. See imaplog in attach. This is a valid IMAP command it is choking on: C: 4 UID SORT (ARRIVAL) UTF-8 BODY "" S: * OK [PARSE] Unexpected characters at end of parameters: : 8bit It is perfectly fine to search for an empty string. It may not make much sense (more on that in a second), but it shouldn't break. You are pretty much out of luck if your IMAP server is broken in this manner since we can't really work around it. As for the blank search term: I can't reproduce that. What exactly are you searching for? (Make sure your search doesn't have any accented characters).

To further debug this issue, we need details of the IMP -> IMAP/POP communication. To enable debugging, see instructions contained in imp/config/backends.php (the 'debug' config parameter). Debugging should not be enabled on a production server, Attach/post only the portion of the log that directly deals with the problem reported (it may be simplest to clear the log file and then perform the event that causes the error).

If we try search (advanced or not) using body criteria in large folder (for example: sent with over 8500 messages) the system broken with this message: "Error when communicating with the server" and in log we can see: 2012-11-08T21:20:00-02:00 ERR: HORDE-5.0 [imp] The mail server was unable to parse the contents of the mail message. Unexpected characters at end of parameters: : 8bit [pid 14176 on line 382 of "/home/httpd/html/horde-5.0/imp/lib/Imap.php"]
