Hi Tim,
The problem was the password. I was careless. Thanks for your advice. Next
time I'll have error codes posted.
And thanks a lot for your constructive example!
I have a strange problem that
"M = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(M_addr)
M.debug = 2"
doesn't work. No verbose output at all. Any hint please?
Best regards,
Xianwen
