From IMAP RFC:

search-key      = "ALL" / "ANSWERED" / "BCC" SP astring /
                  "BEFORE" SP date / "BODY" SP astring /
..
date            = date-text / DQUOTE date-text DQUOTE
date-text       = date-day "-" date-month "-" date-year

So you'll need to use "11-May-2007". It doesn't support time.
