intermittent timeout errors throughout the day
We're using imap-simple (archived) to read & delete some emails from our dreamhost mailserver. Intermittently, we'll get timeout errors throughout the day. We'll sometimes get dozens of these errors in a day, and other times not any for weeks. These errors don't crash our node process.

I see node-imap throws these errors:
https://github.com/mscdex/node-imap/blob/867aa88a335a266b904e0271afa36f69af31a869/lib/Connection.js#L279-L284
And that imap-simple should be bubbling them through their connection object (permalink):
// special handling for `error` event
self.imap.on('error', function (err) {
// if .end() has been called and an 'ECONNRESET' error is received, don't bubble
if (err && self.ending && (err.code.toUpperCase() === 'ECONNRESET')) {
return;
}
self.emit('error', err);
});
We are listening to the imapSimple connection object for error events, but the handler isn't catching these errors.
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question. imap-simple is archived, and these errors are originating from the imap dependency, so I decided to post here.
node: v12.21.0 imap: ^0.8.19
