Thank you for your interesting report.
However to be able to proceed, I would require some step-by-step instructions to reproduce the behavior on my end. Thank you for your cooperation.

Steps:
- Locate a message in your Gmail account which have '[' and ']' as part of the Message-ID
- Start IMAP session, authenticate and issue "UID SEARCH" command for this message ID
Expected result: Message UID returned

In my case, I already had messages with such message-id in my mailbox. If you do not have
any you may need to generate one, perhaps using a small script as described here:

Thank you, though I would need more detailed step-by-step instructions on how to generate the message, how you start the IMAP session, and how you issue the "UID SEARCH".
I would need the step-by-step instructions posted here, including any code, search terms, and tools you use.
Thanks again.

The bug is reproducible using standard SMTP and IMAP protocol commands. It is too much to ask me to write a script to make it easier for you to fix it. This is a job for your engineers. If they are too busy, I can quote you a rate for one of my engineers to write this script. :)

To search for messages with square brackets in message-id, they need to be stripped for
