I will confirm that Exchange's IMAP implementation has the worst search
implementation I've ever seen.  The only thing that seems to work is
searching for a simple word.  So a search for "SPAM" will find a match,
but a search for "***SPAM***" will not.  Any punctuation or white space
in the search string causes the search to fail.

In short, useless.
