# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The ThreadCmd method is deprecated:

# jsonObj is a CkJsonObject
jsonObj = imap.ThreadCmd(threadAlg,charset,searchCriteria,bUid)
if (imap.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(imap.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using QueryThread.
# Your application creates a new, empty JsonObject object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.
