[issue10274] imaplib should provide a means to validate a remote server ssl certificate(s)

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes added the comment:

You can use a custom ssl context to enforce cert and hostname validation:

>>> import imaplib, ssl
>>> ctx = ssl.create_default_context()
>>> conn = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("74.125.133.109", ssl_context=ctx)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ssl.CertificateError: hostname '74.125.133.109' doesn't match 'imap.gmail.com'
