You don't really have to run the test, just try to import imaplib:

C:\Code\python\PCbuild>python
Python 2.3a0 (#29, Mar  2 2002, 03:12:05) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import imaplib
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\imaplib.py", line 986, in ?
    class IMAP4_SSL(IMAP4):
  File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\imaplib.py", line 1001, in IMAP4_SSL
    def __init__(self, host = '', port = IMAP4_SSL_PORT, keyfile = None,
certfil
e = None):
NameError: name 'IMAP4_SSL_PORT' is not defined
>>>

Indeed IMAP4_SSL_PORT is not defined, and I don't see how this could be
unique to Windows.  Aren't people on Linux seeing this too?
