Consider dropping support for End-of-Life Python 3.6 #512
Description
I see this error and doesn't seem that easy to fix. Though the unit tests still pass.
But still wouldn't hurt to drop Python 3.6, in my opinion. Users can still use the previous versions of imapclient
FYI: Python 3.6 and Python 3.7 are both End-of-Life: https://devguide.python.org/versions/
