Summary: imaplib.py and SSL

Initial Comment:
Hallo!

Our company has decided to allow only SSL connections 
to the e-mailbox from outside. So I needed a SSL 
capable "imaplib.py" to run my mailwatcher-scripts 
from home.

Thanks to the socket.ssl() in recent Pythons it was 
nearly no problem to derive an IMAP4_SSL-class from 
the existing IMAP4-class in Python's standard library.

Maybe you want to look over the very small additions 
that were necessary to implement the IMAP-over-SSL-
functionality and add it as a part of the next 
official "imaplib.py"?

Here's the context diff from the most recent CVS 
version (1.43). It works fine for me this way and it's 
only a few straight-forward lines of code.

Maybe I could contribute a bit to the Python project 
with this patch?

Best regards

Tino Lange

This seems fine to me, but i can't test it as i don't have
access to an ssl-enabled imapd. My only caveat is - do
socket.ssl objects have a "sendall" method? - in which case
that is what should be used in the send method.
