Mozilla doesn't follow the IMAP syntax. More precisely, it sends 
quoted chars that contain characters outside the range 0x01 - 0x7f,
forcing the IMAP servers to return a parsing error. See the syntax below:

QUOTED_CHAR     ::= <any TEXT_CHAR except quoted_specials> / "\" quoted_specials
TEXT_CHAR       ::= <any CHAR except CR and LF>
CHAR            ::= <any 7-bit US-ASCII character except NUL, 0x01 - 0x7f>

A fix to this bug;
Send literals instead. That is, command 

Mozilla: 1 search text "bogus char follows: '0x80'"CRLF
Server: 1 BAD bogus attribute...

should become:

1 search text {21}CRLF
Server: +CRLF
Mozilla: bogus char follows: '0x80'CRLF
