Please note that there is another problem within Akonadi/IMAP where the METADATA IMAP extension is not used correctly: bug #301154 Git commit 0291bfb0fd272dfab0417cda0b406aa3c1af5d5a by Christian Mollekopf. Committed on 28/10/2013 at 18:01. Pushed by cmollekopf into branch 'KDE/4.11'. Get METADATA annotations. METADATA doesn't allow a wildcard as entry specifier.

The IMAP server is dovecot-2.1.12 with my dovecot-metadata-9 plugin. I wrote the plugin to check the input rather strictly, which is why it reports a problem with Akonadi/IMAP's conformance to the IMAP METADATA RFC 5464. From the KIMAP_LOGFILE: C: A001351 GETMETADATA "INBOX/live" "*" S: A001351 BAD Error in IMAP command GETMETADATA: Wildcards in entry name '*' not allowed. ( RFC 5464 Section 3.2 ) Section 3.2 explicitly forbids this: Entry names MUST NOT contain asterisk ("*") or percent ("%") characters Now you might argue that this only applies to the entry names the server stores, but not to requests by the client. However, Section 4.2 neither allows nor describes the use of the wildcard characters. You probably want to use the DEPTH argument to GETMETADATA (Section 4.2.2) instead of a wildcard character. Reproducible: Always
