I have been, for years, using a select messages rule in some accounts. I do, once inside the folder:

And suddenly, today it fails:

Is there something I can do?

It is a gmx.es account.

There have been follow-ups with work-arounds. I wanted to comment on the sudden change.

I assume they've switched their IMAP serving infra and sadly this will now always be slow unless they change back or can configure full text search in their new infrastructure.

If you happened to be keeping the alpine debug logs it might show the point where the server ident changed.

I would contact them as it's possible it's just a tick box on whatever service they're using. They might be using an off the shelf imap daemon on their own servers, or might be white labelling a 3rd party service like MS.

It's not impossible it was an oversight. OTOH your own sync so a local more capable imap server if you are okay constantly running one, will undoubatbly be fast and useful in its own ways.
