I'm using the imaplib library in Python3.11 to retrieve emails from my Alibaba mailbox. After logging in using IMAP4_SSL and attempting to search and filter emails using the search method, I encountered an error. Following the usage of the search method in the IMAP4 class, like search(None, 'FROM', '"LDJ"') or search(None, '(FROM "LDJ")'), I received the following error message: imaplib.IMAP4.error: SEARCH command error: BAD [b'invalid command or parameters']. Even after debugging the code, I couldn't pinpoint the exact issue. Could you please provide guidance on the correct usage or help analyze the root cause of the error? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
