A server is allowed to drop a client that has been IDLE for more than 30 minutes without doing anything. Although your code is regularly timing out from the `idle_check`,...

The issue is likely that IMAPClient is using imaplib.IMAP4's _get_line while the socket is in non-blocking mode which it isn't really designed for. IMAPClient will like need to call IMAP4.readline()...

Thanks for digging into this @axoroll7 . I don't have anything significant in progress for this so if you want to continue with solving this please go ahead. I do...

Do you see an error from the server? Could you try enabling logging as described here: https://imapclient.readthedocs.io/en/master/concepts.html#logging ? That will let us see the protocol details which might show what's...

Also, I can't tell from your screenshot but make sure you're calling search with the criteria as a list like this: ```python messages = server.search(["FROM", "[email protected]"]) ``` That is, not...
