I'm not sure what you mean here. There are two ways I could see this
being handled:

1) A network connection failure is fundamentally different from an
auth problem. That's what you're currently seeing; only auth problems
are caught.

2) Network failures and auth problems should be dealt with the same
way. Change one line of code:
except (imaplib.IMAP4.error, OSError):

Now it'll cope with OSError the same way it copes with IMAP errors.

Does that answer your question?
