Thank you for fast reply.
Here's full traceback for first case:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "some_my_file.py", line 10, in some_function
    self.mail.login(login, password)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 518, in login
    typ, dat = self._simple_command('LOGIN', user, self._quote(password))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 1083, in _simple_command
    return self._command_complete(name, self._command(name, *args))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 870, in _command
    self.send('%s%s' % (data, CRLF))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 1191, in send
    sent = self.sslobj.write(data)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/ssl.py", line 669, in write
    return self._sslobj.write(data)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 30-39: ordinal not in range(128)

Full traceback for second case:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "some_my_file.py", line 10, in some_function
    self.mail.login(login, password)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 518, in login
    typ, dat = self._simple_command('LOGIN', user, self._quote(password))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 1083, in _simple_command
    return self._command_complete(name, self._command(name, *args))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 852, in _command
    data = '%s %s' % (data, self._checkquote(arg))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)


But okay, even if encoding depends on target system and it's usually utf-8 so why string operations in imaplib are not in usual format but in some other?
