🚀 Feature

IMAP supports negative search terms, which combined with normal search terms is pretty useful: "return messages that match A and don't match B".

Design, Layout, Architecture

Add a checkbox for negative matching to each terms field
modify the term as sent to the server and add a NOT prefix
... that might be it!

This is pushed to master. Glad I decided to support this, because in doing so I found that multiple search terms was NOT working as designed. While I was at it I fixed that part, and added a configurable limit of how many results to return on advanced search per source.
