You're referring to this function?

http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/imaplib.html#imaplib.IMAP4

The docs suggest that you can simply pass it a parameter to specify
the address to bind to. (Note that you bind to addresses, not
interfaces. Figuring out which interface has which address is a
separate issue.)
