Yes, this is an IMAP server problem.

I am only speculating, but there should be a way to create a full-text
index of the database, in order for the IMAP server to be able to handle
SEARCH queries.  If you are the admin of the IMAP server you should
check it's documentation about full-text indexing, etc.  Otherwise you
should contact the mail server's admin about this problem.

Next major release (0.9) will print the client-server communication with the
"-v" option (much more verbose messages than the current releases),
which, hopefully, will make trouble-shooting, in some cases, a lot easier.
