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:
