I use mairix.el (I think from here http://randomsample.de/mairix.el).
It looks like you can customize the mairix command, which means that
you could replace mairix with your command above and it should work
like you want (performing the server-side mairix call). I still
prefer the local version b/c I like to be able to search on my laptop
when not connected to the internets.
You can look at the bottom of this (very helpful) config for how to
set up mairix in your .wl file:
