Node-red-node-email stops fetching GMail

[tjfoth]

Which node are you reporting an issue on?

Node-red-node-email

What are the steps to reproduce?

This is a long running flow that wakes up every 10 minutes and fetches Gmail email.

What happens?

It stops fetching. Under the node, it just says "Fetching" and the flow does not continue. There are no errors in the log. Re-deploying the flow fixes the problem.

What do you expect to happen?

I would the flow to continue or produce an error message in the log.

Please tell us about your environment:

I had the same problem, is there a way to fix it?

I don't know how you have the email node configured. In my case, when I had the problem, it was running in triggered mode (which I failed to mention and should have).

When I switched to automatic mode that fetches every 60 seconds, the problem went away.

I should have also came back and updated this.

I'm leaving this open inasmuch as the original problem isn't solved, it has been circumvented.

Thank you for asking, because it caused me to make this update.
