Max,
Thanks, but it didnt work.
I still get the same error:
error: SEARCH command error: BAD ['Bogus criteria list in SEARCH']
args = ("SEARCH command error: BAD ['Bogus criteria list in SEARCH']",)
I had originally included the HEADER field as per the RFC3501 documentation:
HEADER <field-name> <string>
also, the message-id is not an integer its a string like:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
