 I have even tried a simpler:

"HEADER FROM asdfasdf.com"

 I'm perplexed.  What should I try next?

The mailbox name might be case sensitive in dbmail-export
< 2.2.6rc1. See
if that resolves the problem for you. Do you get output on
stderr like:

Exporting [1] mailboxes for [user]
 export mailbox INBOX -> ./user/INBOX.mbox

or...

Exporting [0] mailboxes for [user]

..the latter of which means that the mailbox is not being
found, rather
than indicating a problem with the IMAP search query.

I get:

export mailbox /user/mailbox -> user/mailbox

...so it appears to be similar to the correct example you
cite above.
