I'm doing some evaluation whether Google Appengine is appropriate for
portion of project. However, I was unable to make imaplib working on
Google App Engine. Is it possible to run IMAP on GAE?

Also I was unable to make web.py working on - are there any pointers
whether web.py works on Google Apple Engine?

Hi,

I don't beleive it is possible at all, you cannot make connection outside of port 80 and port 443.

I need to use IMAP in http://www.twollo.com, at which point I host the client that interfaces with the IMAP server on my mac mini.

Kind Regards,
Paul Kinlan

I am working on IMAP Fetcher right now. From a Premiere Edition
account, you can reset the IMAP server connection port from 143 to 80,
and point IMAP Fetcher to your App Engine appspot.com subdomain. I am
trying this right now, but really could use a canned IMAP, bare bones
server. I could slip it in and use it as a sniffer for the protocol
IMAP Fetcher wants via GAE. Know of any?
