The error is shown when the search occurs only inside the Inbox. Within other directories the search is performed normally and if it is selected for the search to occur within all folders, the result is also returned.

Hi,

Ticket response that solved the problem:



Reviewing resources on our end, it's been noticed in the past to likely be caused by corrupted Roundcube user preferences, specifically in the search_mods array, which stores the selected search options for each folder (To, From, Subject, etc.). Some folder names or other bad search options may be stored as search preferences for a specific folder, resulting in the error occurring only when searching that folder.

The suggestion is to clear the preferences which should return the normal functionality.

I'd run the following command to attempt to fix this.

sqlite3 /home/example/etc/example.com.br/dp1.rcube.db 'UPDATE users SET preferences = "" WHERE username = "[email protected]"'

I need help with this issue also when I search my inbox I get this message - Server Error: UID SEARCH: Error in IMAP command UID SEARCH: Unknown argument DD (0.001 + 0.000 secs).

Can anyone help me please.
