GMail IPv6 IMAP Issue, or is it Just Me?



Is anyone else having issues reaching GMail on IPv6 via IMAP, or is it just
me?

Here's some of what I'm seeing:

It responds to ping...

imac01:~ branto$ ping6 imap.gmail.com
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2001:470:8d30:b00c::bb0e --> 2607:f8b0:400d:c00::6c

TCP Sessions on v6 seem to time-out:

imac01:~ branto$ telnet -6 imap.gmail.com 993
Trying 2607:f8b0:400d:c01::6c...
telnet: connect to address 2607:f8b0:400d:c01::6c: Operation timed out
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

IPv4 Connects:

imac01:~ branto$ telnet -4 imap.gmail.com 993
Trying 173.194.76.108...
Connected to gmail-imap.l.google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

^]
telnet> close
Connection closed.

and other connectivity via IPv6 works:

imac01:~ branto$ telnet -6 www.google.com 80
Trying 2607:f8b0:400c:c04::68...
Connected to www.google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

GET /
HTTP/1.0 200 OK

Connection closed by foreign host.

I've tried flushing my dnscache to make sure I'm not holding on to
something that's not valid, but no dice.
