Your server is broken. That is perfectly valid syntax.

From rfc3501:

search          = "SEARCH" [SP "CHARSET" SP astring] 1*(SP search-key)
                    ; CHARSET argument to MUST be registered with IANA

search-key      = "ALL" / "ANSWERED" / "BCC" SP astring /
                  "BEFORE" SP date / "BODY" SP astring /
                  "CC" SP astring / "DELETED" / "FLAGGED" /
                  "FROM" SP astring / "KEYWORD" SP flag-keyword /
                  "NEW" / "OLD" / "ON" SP date / "RECENT" / "SEEN" /
                  "SINCE" SP date / "SUBJECT" SP astring /
                  "TEXT" SP astring / "TO" SP astring /
                  "UNANSWERED" / "UNDELETED" / "UNFLAGGED" /
                  "UNKEYWORD" SP flag-keyword / "UNSEEN" /
                    ; Above this line were in [IMAP2]
                  "DRAFT" / "HEADER" SP header-fld-name SP astring /
                  "LARGER" SP number / "NOT" SP search-key /
                  "OR" SP search-key SP search-key /
                  "SENTBEFORE" SP date / "SENTON" SP date /
                  "SENTSINCE" SP date / "SMALLER" SP number /
                  "UID" SP sequence-set / "UNDRAFT" / sequence-set /
                  "(" search-key *(SP search-key) ")"

In section 6.4.4, it also states:

      The OPTIONAL [CHARSET] specification consists of the word
      "CHARSET" followed by a registered [CHARSET].  It indicates the
      [CHARSET] of the strings that appear in the search criteria.
      [MIME-IMB] content transfer encodings, and [MIME-HDRS] strings in
      [RFC-2822]/[MIME-IMB] headers, MUST be decoded before comparing
      text in a [CHARSET] other than US-ASCII.  US-ASCII MUST be
      supported; other [CHARSET]s MAY be supported.

      If the server does not support the specified [CHARSET], it MUST
      return a tagged NO response (not a BAD).  This response SHOULD
      contain the BADCHARSET response code, which MAY list the
      [CHARSET]s supported by the server.

Based on these, we know that:

UID SEARCH CHARSET US-ASCII OR SUBJECT sdf BODY sdf

is perfectly valid syntax.

If you try this exact same search query on, say, GMail, it will work. If you try it with a Dovecot IMAP server, it will work. If you try it on pretty much every IMAP server other than yours, it will work.

What IMAP server are you using? What if you don't use an OR search?

If this patch doesn't work around your broken IMAP server, there's nothing else I can do...

thanks for your answer!
