    Thank you for your answer. I have tried that, with imaplib and
libgmail. This is what I get with imaplib:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\MyProjects\gmail.py", line 17, in <module>
    m = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com', 993)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\imaplib.py", line 1138, in __init__
    IMAP4.__init__(self, host, port)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\imaplib.py", line 163, in __init__
    self.open(host, port)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\imaplib.py", line 1149, in open
    self.sock = socket.create_connection((host, port))
  File "C:\Python26\lib\socket.py", line 514, in create_connection
    raise error, msg
socket.error: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the
target machine actively refused it


And this with libgmail:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\MyProjects\gmail2.py", line 10, in <module>
    ga.login()
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\libgmail.py", line 305, in login
    pageData = self._retrievePage(req)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\libgmail.py", line 348, in _retrievePage
    resp = self.opener.open(req)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\mechanize\_opener.py", line 193, in open
    response = urlopen(self, req, data)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\mechanize\_urllib2_fork.py",
line 344, in _open
    '_open', req)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\mechanize\_urllib2_fork.py",
line 332, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\mechanize\_urllib2_fork.py",
line 1171, in https_open
    return self.do_open(conn_factory, req)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\gmail_transport.py", line 143, in do_open
    return ClientCookie.HTTPSHandler.do_open(self,
ProxyHTTPSConnection.new_auth(self.proxy, self.proxy_user,
self.proxy_passwd), req)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\mechanize\_urllib2_fork.py",
line 1118, in do_open
    raise URLError(err)
urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 10060] A connection attempt
failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a
period of time, or established connection failed because connected
host has failed to respond>


This thing is driving me crazy, and I'm not even doing it for fun...

Thank you for your suggestions.

Andrea.
