Re^2: perl imap spam text search is not working what i need to do

[vasanthgk91]

thank you, i want to search mails by matching string "ela test" from the Bulk Mail(spam) folder, but @msgs returns empty array

[Corion]

So, have you verified that there are mails with "ela text" in the subject in your Bulk Mail folder?

[vasanthgk91]

yes i have two mails like that string and that search is working for inbox search but not in spam

[vasanthgk91]

yes i have two mails having that string and that search method is working for inbox but not for spam this is issue

[Corion]

Are you sure that the "Bulk Mail" folder gets selected? Do you see other valid mails from the Bulk Mail folder when you are not using ->search?

Your usage of ->select is not the recommended way. The documentation recommends using

$imap->select('Bulk Mail') or die "Could not select: $@\n";
