As far as *I* know, these problems are still present i
n the 1.6.* versions of Ruby (they are general socket
problems not limited to IMAP), but are fixed in 1.7. 
I'm not completely sure, though.  It wouldn't take
long to give it a try, I suppose.

The POD-like thing is called "rd".  On my
Windows/Cygwin installation, the following command
generates an HTML file with documentation on the IMAP
library:
rd2 /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/net/imap.rb
