It's possible... Ruby does use green threads and a GIL, so there's always the possibility that something in C land will block all Ruby threads, but my impression was that that was an issue mainly with third-party libraries. I believe that Net::IMAP is pure Ruby, thus using the core Ruby IO mechanisms, and I thought those were pretty good about being preemptible.
