In this case, things seem to get stuck in the imaplib2 library, so we
don't reach a breakpoint where we can safely exit. I have a hard time
debugging these things as I don't experience the hangs.

At some point there were some hangs reported that occured with Gmail
only, but I have not seen such reports for some time now.
