The search field is folder specific. So deleting the contents of the
search field in one folder won't make any difference to any other
folder. What's more, the search doesn't work at all at the "account
entry" level.

Also, specifying a search in "Current Account" basically disables
everything until the search box is cleared.

Yes, but involving the root folder level of the account is meaningless
- I was concerned that you thought you *should* be seeing things when
that folder was highlighted.

Have you tried deleting and recreating the account.  (Apologies if you
have said it before and I have missed it.) Or even rename the current
account and disable it (so there's no chance of the config being re-
used), then create a new version of the IMAP connection.

Ultimately, what you need to do is to create a new *Linux* user account
so that you have a completely clean configuration. Then when logged in
as that user, set up the IMAP account. If that behaves properly, then
it is nothing odd with the interaction with the server, but is a
configuration issue.
