Ok, I wrote an extension to python imaplib to handle starttls, if more
are interested you can find it here:
http://projects.brill.no/python/tlsimap.py
Example of usage:
import imaptls
imap = imaptls.IMAP4('hostname')
imap.starttls(keyfile=None, certfile=None)
# create a simple function for our PLAIN login
def sendAuth(response):
return "user\0auth\0password"
typ, data = imap.authenticate("PLAIN", sendAuth)

Yeah.. I wrote a quick python-script to do it all. I attached it in case
anyone else would like the same thing.

Is there some other way of setting it then? I have a bunch of mails
dated the 25 of March :)

internaldate
I am trying to set the internaldate for a message, but it doesn't store
properly.
This is what I try (using python)
imap.store(1,"+FLAGS","INTERNALDATE 22-Mar-2003 02:10:31 +0100")
> ('OK', ['1 (FLAGS (INTERNALDATE 22-Mar-2003 02:10:31 +0100))'])
It replies with an OK (prefixed with an >), and that the INTERNALDATE
has been altered.
But when I try to fetch the same message it tells me that the
INTERNALDATE is:
('OK', ['1 (INTERNALDATE "25-Mar-2003 02:10:31 +0100")'])
So it doesn't store the values, even though it returns an OK. Any hints?
