IMAP email scrapping fails after running for some time

[Kymer0615]

Thank you for creating this project — it has been really helpful!

However, I’ve encountered an issue: email scraping works fine when the Docker container first starts, but after some time, IMAP starts failing. If I restart the container, it works again.

My current workaround is to restart the container every 30 minutes using crontab, but I’d like to understand what might be causing the IMAP connection to fail over time.

Here are some logs:

Sorry for the slow reply - I have been immersed in / hyper-focused on some other projects recently & haven't made much time for mkfd. I will try to recreate this on my end soon & figure out what needs to be done to address it.
