New submission from Jairo Llopis <yajo....@gmail.com>:

No way to pass a timeout to imaplib.IMAP4 or imaplib.IMAP4_SSL.

When opening the connection, the only way is to use socket.settimeout(), which 
affects the global execution environment.

It's interesting that poplib includes the needed timeout parameter instead... 
weird. I think it was forgotten for imaplib.
