Kevin neglected to mention that the new interpreter session must be
started in the same directory as the one you're in when you run your
testMail.py script. Since he didn't mention that, we can't be sure that
that's what you did, so this experiment doesn't prove anything.

Please show us a copy-and-paste of your command line window contents
that result from executing <<python testMail.py>> and then executing
<<python -c "import email; print email">> immediately thereafter.
