[New-bugs-announce] [issue4471] IMAP4 missing support for starttls

[Lorenzo M. Catucci]

New submission from Lorenzo M. Catucci <lorenzo at sancho.ccd.uniroma2.it>:

In the enclosed patch, there are three changes:
1. Support starttls on IMAP4 connections
2. Rework of the IMAP_SSL, to replace home-grown file-like
   methods with proper ones from ssl module's makefile();
3. Properly shutdown sockets at close() time to avoid server-side pile-up
