This module defines a class, IMAP4, which encapsulates a
connection to an IMAP4 server and implements the IMAP4rev1 client
protocol as defined in RFC 2060. It is backward compatible with
IMAP4 (RFC 1730) servers, but note that the "STATUS" command is
not supported in IMAP4.
This class implements the actual IMAP4 protocol. The connection is
created and protocol version (IMAP4 or IMAP4rev1) is determined when
the instance is initialized.
If host is not specified, '' (the local host) is used.
If port is omitted, the standard IMAP4 port (143) is used.
Two exceptions are defined as attributes of the IMAP4 class:
IMAP4 server errors cause this exception to be raised. This is a
sub-class of IMAP4.error. Note that closing the instance
and instantiating a new one will usually allow recovery from this
exception.
Converts a time module tuple to an IMAP4
"INTERNALDATE" representation. Returns a string in the form:
"DD-Mmm-YYYY HH:MM:SS +HHMM" (including double-quotes).
