Examine the error you are getting carefully. Without the error message it's hard to tell what's wrong.

Make sure your application has enough permissions to open a socket connection to Gmail server. Connection is made on port 993 (default IMAP protocol).

In many cases shared hosting environments don't allow opening connections - consult your administrator.

Side note: don't use Where method more than once. If you want to join expressions use Expression.And:

List<long> uids = imap.Search().Where(
    Expression.And(
        Expression.GmailRawSearch("after:2016/04/16"),
        Expression.To("Ajayara@trimaxamericas.com")
    );

I'm not sure if GmailRawSearch can be used more then once - this is GMail specific command, so I'm not sure if standard IMAP search operators apply.
