Is it simply the wrong port? (IMAP4_SSL_PORT vs. IMAP4_PORT)
How long do you wait before seeing the timeout?
Have you tried print-debugging within your local copy of imaplib.py?
The code related to making the connection just wraps
socket.create_connection:
234
235 def _create_socket(self):
236 return socket.create_connection((self.host, self.port))
237
238 def open(self, host = '', port = IMAP4_PORT):
239 """Setup connection to remote server on "host:port"
240 (default: localhost:standard IMAP4 port).
241 This connection will be used by the routines:
242 read, readline, send, shutdown.
243 """
244 self.host = host
245 self.port = port
246 self.sock = self._create_socket()
247 self.file = self.sock.makefile('rb')
