Ok, I wrote an extension to python imaplib to handle starttls, if more are interested you can find it here: http://projects.brill.no/python/tlsimap.py Example of usage: import imaptls imap = imaptls.IMAP4('hostname') imap.starttls(keyfile=None, certfile=None) # create a simple function for our PLAIN login def sendAuth(response): return "user\0auth\0password" typ, data = imap.authenticate("PLAIN", sendAuth) -- Alexander Brill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.project23.no PGP-key: http://www.nettstudio.no/firma/Library/PGP/alex_pgp/view
