Well, Google states that it's using SSL. You're not using the SSL
with your example code. Take a look in the imaplib module. At least
under Python 2.5, there's also an IMAP4_SSL class:
>>> import imaplib
>>> mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com', 993)
That worked for me. I could then use the login method to log into the
mail server.
