Variable: imap-enable-exchange-bug-workaround

imap-enable-exchange-bug-workaround is a variable defined in imap.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

Send FETCH UID commands as *:* instead of *.

When non-nil, use an alternative UIDS form. Enabling appears to be required for some servers (e.g., Microsoft Exchange 2007) which otherwise would trigger a response BAD The specified message set is invalid.. We don't unconditionally use this form, since this is said to be significantly inefficient.

This variable is set to t automatically per server if the canonical form fails.
