Getting errors from Imaplib

[Beatrix Willius from Moth Software]

Hi Chris,

no, pinging Yahoo doesn't work. But this is an additional problem - perhaps I tested too often. This is one of my accounts for Imap testing and I only copied the value from Mail.

For getting the error back this doesn't really matter.
