Does this happen every time you want to use the plugin? Did you test this with another mail inbox? Maybe one that has firstly zero, then one message?

I think the encoding of the various emails is not implemented. So every email has to be encoded to UTF-8 for example, before further usage.

This is just a thought, I am not developing on anything of AutoGPT.

I believe I have identified the reason and solution for this issue, which I also experienced in issue https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT-Plugins/issues/104. I have implemented the fix in pull request https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT-Plugins/pull/139, but happy to answer any questions until it's approved.
