I'm not sure what you mean here. There are two ways I could see this being handled: 1) A network connection failure is fundamentally different from an auth problem. That's what you're currently seeing; only auth problems are caught. 2) Network failures and auth problems should be dealt with the same way. Change one line of code: except (imaplib.IMAP4.error, OSError): Now it'll cope with OSError the same way it copes with IMAP errors. Does that answer your question?
