Hi Marcelo,

this is an error in imaplib2, which seems to receive an invalid response
From an IMAP server on connecting. Piers, another case for you :-).

In what cases could self._request_push return None?

Marcello, is this reproducible? It would be great if we could get an
IMAP debug log so we can see what exactly we ask the server and what it
replies. You can create one with -d imap -l debug.log. Make sure to
delete all passwords in the debug log. You can send it to me privately
if you don't want to make it public. THanks.

Sebastian

The "failing" imaplib2 code
try:
    self.welcome = self._request_push(tag='continuation').get_response('IMAP4 protocol error: %s')[1]
    if self._get_untagged_response('PREAUTH'):
       self.state = AUTH
       if __debug__: self._log(1, 'state => AUTH')
    elif self._get_untagged_response('OK'):
       if __debug__: self._log(1, 'state => NONAUTH')
    else:
       raise self.error(self.welcome)
