If you do socket.setdefaulttimeout(X) before trying to instantiate imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(), the connection hangs partway through the SSL negotiation. The cause is that socket.ssl() is actually incompatible with timeouts (not sure why) and IMAP4_SSL() doesn't do anything to guard against it. It should do .setblocking(1) on the socket.socket object before passing it to socket.ssl(). The documentation should also clarify timeouts not working with socket.ssl.
