New submission from John <jh45...@gmail.com>:

Attempting IMAP4_SSL.shutdown() after IMAP4_SSL.logout() throws an error 
because the socket is already closed. (I cannot test with plain IMAP4.)

Please add appropriate notice, perhaps under IMAP4.shutdown().

Perhaps something like "If you do not use open(), and do only login() and 
logout(), you do not need shutdown(), as logout() does it for you."
