That is correct, because imap is built on top of libc-client,
which still only supports IMAP2-format search criteria. Thus,
changing to doc problem.

Ps: the current error returned with
$string = sprintf('%s %s "%s"','HEADER', 'Message-ID',
'kldjskljf@example.org');
imap_search($imapconn, $string, SE_UID);
is
PHP Notice: Unknown: Unknown search criterion: HEADER (errflg=2) in Unknown

Description:
------------
imap_search can't search all headers released by IMAP protocol (RFC 3501).
See at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-6.4.4
You can perform the following command:
HEADER <field-name> <string>
But this option is not allowed from PHP imap_search.
Expected result:
----------------
Something like:
$string = sprintf('HEADER "%s" "%s"','Message-ID',
'dskljflsdjfskl@example.org');
imap_search($imapconn, $string, SE_UID);
This should return the uid of message with the Message-ID found.
Actual result:
--------------
At the moment, to search an header I can use this workaround:
$string = sprintf('%s "Message-ID: <%s>"','TEXT',
'dskljflsdjfskl@example.org');
imap_search($imapconn, $string, SE_UID);
But it's not safe, because with TEXT I find all occurrences of string
"Message-ID: <dskljflsdjfskl@example.org>"
in headers or body too.
