Hi,

can somebody explain me why this script fails saying that SEARCH
is BAD?

   #!/usr/bin/env python

   import imaplib, sys, re, os, popen2, getpass, getopt, string

   imapuser="somebody"
   imaphost='neumail04.neu.edu'
   imapport=143
   imappassword='something'
   imapinbox="INBOX"

   imap=imaplib.IMAP4(imaphost,imapport)
   res=imap.login(imapuser, imappassword)
   assertok(res, "login",imapuser, 'xxxxxxxx')
   res=imap.select(imapinbox, 1)
   assertok(res, 'select', imapinbox, 1)

   # it returns number of messages in response
   low=1
   high=int(res[1][0])

   # make the search
   #uids=imap.search(None,'NEW','HEADER Mailing-List ""',\
   #'NOT HEADER List-Post')
   uids=imap.search(None,r'( NEW HEADER Mailing-List "" )')
   #Mailing-List: list neu-lps-students at yahoogroups.com; \
   #contact neu-lps-students-owner at yahoogroups.com
   print uids

Thanks,

        Matej
