Note that the latest PythonNet is built for and includes 2.4, not 2.5,
unless you¹ve built
your own version.
That probably means that pythonnet is looking at the PYTHONPATH for 2.4,
which
probably doesn¹t have imaplib installed.
I¹d suggest making sure to install imaplib in the site-packages used by your
PythonNet/2.4 installation...
