I am writing a Python 3 script to handle IMAP mailboxes, and I am having some problems with the server. When I connect to it "by hand" and try to send raw IMAP commands, the server is unresponsive, and yet when I run the script it does what it does correctly.
Anyway, in order to find out what's happening with the server I need to see raw IMAP commands that my script is sending, and specially the server's responses. Is there any way to make either imaplib or imap_tools (the two libraries that I've tried) log that information?
You can use the debug attribute in the IMAP4 class to enable debug output, which includes responses.
As no logging is available in IMAP.
