This is not a URLFetch problem. IMAPlib doesn't connect via HTTP (which
URLFetch handles), it connects via IMAPS port 993. This means that the
failure is in the sockets API. Notice that the stack trace makes reference
to sockets, not urlfetch. You need to tell the socket to stay open longer.
I don't believe imaplib supplies an easy way to increase the socket
timeout, so you may need to dig into imaplib source and increase the
timeout there.

What IMAP operations are you calling that takes 60+ seconds for the server
to respond? I have a Java application that connects to Gmail via IMAP and
other external mail servers via POP3, and I have always received fast
responses.
