Do you see an error from the server?

Could you try enabling logging as described here: https://imapclient.readthedocs.io/en/master/concepts.html#logging ?
That will let us see the protocol details which might show what's going on.

Also, I can't tell from your screenshot but make sure you're calling search with the criteria as a list like this:

messages = server.search(["FROM", "[email protected]"])

That is, not as a single string.

Same issue happened to me, FROM and SUBJECT item did not work in my code, here is my env:

python==3.9.21 64bit
imapclient==3.0.1

mail info

auth = {"username": "", "password": ""}
cfgs = {
    'host': 'imap.vip.sina.com',
    'port': 993,
    'ssl': True
}

imap = imapclient.IMAPClient(**cfgs)
imap.login(**auth)
_ = imap.select_folder('INBOX', readonly=True)

imap.capabilities() # output: (b'IMAP4REV1', b'ID', b'IDLE', b'UIDPLUS')

I'd try many types of criteries like:

uids = imap.search(['FROM', '[email protected]'])
uids = imap.search(['FROM', '"[email protected]"'])
uids = imap.search(['FROM "[email protected]"'])
uids = imap.search(['SUBJECT', 'ORDER'])
uids = imap.search('SUBJECT "ORDER"')

and always got the exception like :

can you tell the reason about this? it would be very helpful if the problem can be fixed, thank you.
