Fantastic! This works thanks.

Use socket.setdefaulttimeout(timeout_in_seconds) before you create the POP3 
object; this value will be used by the initial connect. Once it is connected, 
you can set a different timeout for retrieving mail using 
pop.sock.settimeout(...)
Note that setdefaulttimeout applies to ALL subsequent socket operations, not 
only using poplib.

I know that in python 2.5 I could pass an additional timeout parameter 
to the above statement ( ie: pop = poplib.POP3(POPHOST, POPPORT, 
TIMEOUTINSECONDS), but I am using python 2.4.


Can anyone help me implement this timeout functionality.


Obviously, get a copy of 2.5 and back-port the poplib code as
poplib25 or some such.  If you want more help than that, hire
someone to do it.

POP connection timeout.

[Aspersieman]

Hi All

I have written an application that queries a POP mailbox and 
downloads messages. When the application tries to connect to the mail 
server, but takes too long (eg. longer than 60 seconds) I want to have 
it time out.


Something like

try:
  pop = poplib.POP3(POPHOST, POPPORT)
except someerror, err:
  print "Connecting to mail box has timed out:\n", err

I know that in python 2.5 I could pass an additional timeout parameter 
to the above statement ( ie: pop = poplib.POP3(POPHOST, POPPORT, 
TIMEOUTINSECONDS), but I am using python 2.4.


Can anyone help me implement this timeout functionality.

Regards
