I couldn't get imapclient to install; I got some kind of error (I can't
remember, and can't reproduce now because it "thinks" it was successful)
from pip installing some crypto dependency, and a runtime error not
finding a SSLContext class. I haven't tried imaplib2 yet; by the time I
discovered it my scripts were already mature enough that I just finished
with what I had.
