    imaplib unexpected error

    Hello, I am getting an odd error when trying to establish an IMAP
    connection:

    File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framewor k/Versions/2.4//lib/python2.4/
    imaplib.py", line 904, in _get_response
    raise self.abort("une xpected response: '%s'" % resp)
    imaplib.abort: unexpected response: '220 libertydistribu tion.com ESMTP
    CommuniGate Pro 5.0.9 is glad to see you!'

    I thought 220 was the correct response, so I don't understand why I am
    getting the error. Thanks!

      Nevermind. It always seems I figure out what I did wrong right after I
      post. Turns out I was using the wrong port.

          You are connecting to an SMTP server. :-) Maybe it is using the IMAP
          port? More likely you tried to connect to port 25 which is - usually -
          reserved for SMTP.

          Regards,

              That's what it was. I put the wrong port number in :) Thanks!
