[Anurag Maherchandani]

I am using imaplib module for connecting to Gmail Imap, and i am getting
the below mentioned error.
I am using select command to connect

Labelname is  **LabelName


I Get this Error:

    resp, data = self._imap.select("**LabelName")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/imaplib.py", line 642, in select
    typ, dat = self._simple_command(name, mailbox)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/imaplib.py", line 1060, in _simple_command
    return self._command_complete(name, self._command(name, *args))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/imaplib.py", line 895, in _command_complete
    raise self.error('%s command error: %s %s' % (name, typ, data))
imaplib.error: SELECT command error: BAD ['Could not parse command']

whereas if the Labelname is
** LabelName

It successfully connects.
