[Narendra]

set the network timeouts,since some times my program disconnecting from
net at tht point of time I'm unable to connect to POP server. Can any
one provide the solution for it.

code;

import poplib
m=poplib.POP3('pop.mail.yahoo.com',110)
m.user('XXX')
m.pass_('XXX')
# here i need to set the network time out when I'm connecting to POP
server. i.e in the line
m=poplib.POP3('pop.mail.yahoo.com')
Any help can be greatly appreciated

Precede your code with

import socket
socket.setdefaulttimeout(60)

for a one-minute timeout.

Regarding your other problem, I don't know what will make a message be
classified as "bulk" by a particular receiving MTS, you'll have to ask
the operators of the mail server in question.
