Python Imaplib search multiple SUBJECT criteria and special characters

I have trouble using impalib to search email that contain more than two subjects, for example: import imaplib m = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com") m.login('myname', 'mypwd') m.select("Inbox") resp, items = m.uid('search', None, "(SUBJECT baseball SUBJECT basketball)") will have no problem getting data from searching those subject. However, if i search more than two subjects resp, items = m.uid('search', None, "(SUBJECT baseball SUBJECT basketball SUBJECT football)") it won't have data come back. also, subject like ""space jam" or "matchbox 20" will have trouble of parsing in the field

you can search like this.

m.uid('search', None, "(OR (SUBJECT baseball) (SUBJECT basketball))")
