 I am trying to set up mail_daemon to fetch emails through IMAP from my
 GMail account. GMail uses a specific port for IMAP so I configured the
 incoming email server as:

 imap.gmail.com:993

 When trying to connect, I get this in the log window:

 bga@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Connection error: Network is unreachable [Sun Sep 29
 10:42:23 2013]

 Then I tried  amanual telnet just to check and got this:

 ~> telnet imap.gmail.com 993
 Trying (null)...
 telnet: connect to address (null): Network is unreachable
 Trying 173.194.68.108...
 Connected to gmail-imap.l.google.com.
 Escape character is '^]'.
 telnet> close
 Connection closed.

 As can be seen, it connected, but that "Trying (null)..." is suspicious
 and it may be getting mail_daemon confused in case it is algo getting
 something similar. Maybe it is related to ipv6 support? My network is
 configured for ipv4 only.
