POHow do I increase the timeout for imaplib requests?

Body
copied!<p>I'm using <code>imaplib</code> to query Gmail's IMAP, but some requests are taking more than 60 seconds to return. This is already done in a task, so I have a full 10 minutes to do the request, but my tasks are failing due to the 60 second limit on <code>urlfetch</code>. </p> <p>I've tried setting <code>urlfetch.set_default_fetch_deadline(600)</code>, but it doesn't seem to do anything. </p> <p>Here's a stacktrace:</p> <pre><code>The API call remote_socket.Receive() took too long to respond and was cancelled.
