Summary: imaplib Imap.select() uses comparison to 'None' for boolean
Initial Comment:
The imap class's method for selecting a mailbox in read
only mode is subtly broken. Calling i.select('INBOX',
readonly=0) will cause the imap library to open the
mailbox in EXAMINE mode, not SELECT.
def select(self, mailbox='INBOX', readonly=None):
if readonly is not None:
name = 'EXAMINE'
else:
name = 'SELECT'
So passing what seems to be a boolean option into the
function causes unexpected circumstances in client code.
Recommend that the comparison be changed to 'if readonly:'.
I have verified this code exists in python2.3 and in
python cvs head.
