having same issue here, using imaplib thru ssl :/

>>> import socket
>>> socket.setdefaulttimeout(10)
>>> i = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('mail.xxxx.com')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/imaplib.py", line 1101, in __init__
    IMAP4.__init__(self, host, port)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/imaplib.py", line 181, in __init__
    self.welcome = self._get_response()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/imaplib.py", line 876, in
_get_response
    resp = self._get_line()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/imaplib.py", line 969, in _get_line
    line = self.readline()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/imaplib.py", line 1136, in readline
    char = self.sslobj.read(1)
socket.sslerror: The read operation timed out

so i can't get timeouts with ssl in imap :/
