Email Read Imap node encountered an error fetching new emails

I have never used this node. Can you share what your parameters/options are?

Are you sure you have the auth set up correctly?

When you used your gmail account, you used the gmail trigger?

This error looks like it would be from an error in the actual node itself. I took a look at the code and they are using toUpperCase to essentially filter different types of data from the email (text, attachments, etc.). It is also used to made the error codes uppercase.

The options i see are:

  • You are getting another IMAP error (like it cant find the Mailbox Name you specified) and is getting another error trying to display that error to you
  • Your auth isn’t set up right (though that would likely give you an error on the credential screen)
  • There is an error where they use toUpperCase to filter through data that isn’t being caught

Try to:

  1. Ensure your Mailbox Name is correct and points to an actual mailbox
  2. Change the format to different options
  3. Look at the logs (and post them here)

I’d love to dig into this more and maybe make my first contribution back to n8n to fix it!
I don’t have an email I could use right not to test the IMAP trigger but I could set something up to test with tomorrow
