    No way to pass a timeout to imaplib.IMAP4 or imaplib.IMAP4_SSL.

    When opening the connection, the only way is to use socket.settimeout(), which affects the global execution environment.

    It's interesting that poplib includes the needed timeout parameter instead... weird. I think it was forgotten for imaplib.

    I think this is a reasonable request. It would have to be a 3.9 feature.

    Perhaps some code (and tests) can be stolen from poplib.
