imaplib question...

Hi.
I've been messing around with imaplib some and I was wondering how to check if you are logged into a server. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Well, I have not messed around with imaplib but when you try to connect to a server:
m = imaplib.IMAP4(host="127.0.0.1",port=143)
Will give you a connection refused if you can't connect.

Just put the attempt to connect in a try block as in the example below...


>>> try:
... m = imaplib.IMAP4(host="127.0.0.1",port=143)
... except:
... print("You were not logged in")
...
You were not logged in
