I'm using a Xeams mail server, recently, I have setup a NextCloud instance on the same server. I wanted to configure a mail account on NextCloud but somewhat, NextCloud can't manage to retrieve the mails from Xeams.
I also opened a ticket on NextCloud side. But I'm not so confident that the problem are on their side, considering that same problem has been found an echo on the internet with another user using Xeams. (and the mail client was not NextCloud)

So here my question, is there kind of logic to the need of specify a "mail box" when we are performing an "UID SEARCH ALL" command.
If the problem is on Xeams side, can we fix this?
If the problem is on NextCloud side, what kind of command should they send to the Xeams server before performing the "UID SEARCH ALL" command in this case?
For information: the mailbox on Xeams Side is a default one with no special folder created. It's a default mail box.
