Slow TestGetEmail using socks

When I run tests (just as python qucktest.py helpdesk) they take 40 minutes; IF i set variable case_socks to just [False] in the test_get_email.py file it works fine.

To Reproduce

1. run virtualenv or install test and base requirements in other way
2. run python quicktest.py
3. observe it’s slow
4. open helpdesk/tests/test_get_email.py and set case_socks variable to [False]
5. re-run the tests and observe it’s working fast now

Expected behavior It works fine from the box

May be it lacks the documentation how to configure these socks things, but I feel that it’s just misconfigured from the box and tries to connect to some non-existent service (which is incorrect because these tests are unit, not integration, and generally shouldn’t be connecting anywhere).

@gwasser Sorry, I didn’t look any furhter, saw a ‘fix’ was in place and reported back. I’d say close for now and re-address later if needed.

I think I remember this as some kind of syntax change that caused problems. Has it been handled somewhere else in the code? It seems like the tests have been running much faster recently, if so I think we could just close this ticket.
