Note: imaplib and nntplib have no test :-(
The examples in the manual should serve as a basis for a doctest.
I'm concerned about the lack of test suites for these modules. They
basically go untested unless someone sets up a server, and then runs a
series of unscripted ad-hoc tests against that server. Is there either
a way we could set up IMAP and NNTP servers on python.org to test
against, or perhaps find some effectively permanent services to test
againt?
news.gmane.org requires no logon and has been up pretty reliably for
years. I presume it uses standard nntp server software. It certainly
works fine with both OutlookExpress and Thunderbird.
gmane.comp.python.devel (or python-3000.devel) would be an approriate
newsgroup to test retrieval. gmane.test is obviously used by numerous
people for testing posting and replies.
However...

I get same with 'nntp.aioe.org', so on my WinXP machine, 2.5 nntplib
seems not to be working either.
