imap disconnected every few hours

[Sureshkumars]

Is there a way to prolong the life of the mail listener connection without having to refresh the code every few hours? I notice that the mail listener disconnects after a while of no traffic.

@Sureshkumars I left a comment on the library this is forked from here chirag04/mail-listener2#54 (comment)

As you say there seems to be a disconnect error and I cant work out why.

@Hardware-Hacks Is there any sample workaround for handling this?

@Sureshkumars There's a hacky fix here: chirag04/mail-listener2#54 (comment) essentially killing the process when there is a disconnect. As per my response, I've moved onto using context.io for linking to gmail as its much more stable.

@ImTheDeveloper I fixed the issue with the same process. I guess the issue might be due to the default connection timeout of node-imap client ? 10000 seconds

I tried to change that but had no success 😣Did altering that time work for you? You can go into your node modules folder and change the idle time in that package after install to check
