I had difficulties with the imaplib, too. It is very low level. You need
to know some parts of the IMAP protocol.

I solved my problems by checking with ethereal (wireshark) what
other applications (KMail, getmail) do. 

getmail is like fetchmail, but written in Python. I found some hints
by looking at its source.
