I have installed python 2.2.2 and the documentation (
http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-socket.html ) states that ipv6
should be supported.  But I get an error when trying to connect to an
ipv6 only host.
The host ipv6.host.com has only a ipv6 adress assigned. So only AAAA dns
entry, no A entry.
Trace and configfile below.

The (debian) versions I have installed:
offlineimap    3.99.10
python2.2      2.2.2-6

My configfile:

accounts = Test

[Test]
localfolders = ~/Maildir
remotehost = ipv6.host.com
remoteuser = username
remotepass = password

--end--

Hope this helps,
