[Python.NET] Unable to import library imaplib

[Brian Lloyd]

Note that the latest PythonNet is built for and includes 2.4, not 2.5,
unless you¹ve built
your own version.

That probably means that pythonnet is looking at the PYTHONPATH for 2.4,
which 
probably doesn¹t have imaplib installed.

I¹d suggest making sure to install imaplib in the site-packages used by your
PythonNet/2.4 installation...
