Interesting. I just noticed another bug too, it pads with spaces:
" 1-May-07 ..."

Try this in my script:

# this line is already there
sentbefore = imaplib.Time2Internaldate(time.time() - float(sys.argv[1]) * 24 * 60 * 60)

# add these lines
sentbefore = sentbefore.split('"')[1].split()[0]
sentbefore = '"%s"' % sentbefore

Or maybe just replace it all with:

sentbefore = time.strftime("%d-%b-%Y", time.localtime(time.time() - float(sys.argv[1]) * 24 * 60 * 60))
