I'm having trouble with the "search" feature of Net::IMAP. I'm
attempting to search for a message "TO" a particular recipient.
The email recipient is something like:
080416w_test@this.dom.ain
A search function of:
imap.search(["TO", "080416w_test@this.dom.ain"])
.... simply returns nothing. By removing the mailbox details and only
searching for the domain:
imap.search(["TO", "@this.dom.ain"])
.... I return results. In fact, I can build the "TO" string as long
as:
imap.search(["TO", "_test@this.dom.ain"])
.... and results are returned.
What don't I understand? Is it my limited knowledge of Ruby, or the
imap.search I'm not understanding???
Note: Here's the fetch "ENVELOPE" of the mail I'm after:
irb(main):073:0* imap.fetch(1179, "ENVELOPE")
<... snip...>
, to=[#<struct Net::IMAP::Address name="080416w_test@this.dom.ain",
route=nil, mailbox="080416w_test", host="this.dom.ain">]
