| If you do not IMAP4.select(), you get the following error: imaplib.error: command SEARCH illegal in state AUTH. This does not inform the user that he has to do IMAP4.select(). Better would be: imaplib.error: command SEARCH illegal in state AUTH, allowed in state SELECTED. See also: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/patches/2006-December/021308.html | ||
