Net::IMAP::BadResponseError

[justinko]

I get this error on Ruby 1.8.6, but not with Ruby 1.8.7. Seems to be an issue with 1.8.6 imap library.

Im using 1.8.7:
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [i486-linux]

You're correct, it messes up on 1.8.7 also. It looks like the bug was introduced in version 0.0.5. I switched to 0.0.4 and no problems.

I had this same issue with version 0.0.8 on Ruby 1.8.7, and MacOS X 10.6. I'm using a Google apps/domains account in case that makes a difference. Switching to version 0.0.4 alleviated the problem.

The problem happens if you try to use gmail without a block to the initializer. This is because the Gmail class is trying to use Net::IMAP#disconnected? to detect authentication (I'm not sure if Net::IMAP semantics changed at some point or this has always been buggy). Regardless, the fix is to move the @imap.login in the initializer to before the block_given?. the Gmail#imap method itself needs to be rewritten, as simply claling login on a disconnected pipe will fail.

Count me in. I am having the same issue with version 0.0.9. I reverted to 0.0.4 like they did.
Thanks.

I experienced this problem too when using the adimircolen-master branch (0dc3612). My problem was solved by switching over to Geoff Youngs fork (1f2ef64).

Hello!
I found this error when google wanted me to verify the account. Verifying the account resolves the error.

I'm closing this out because of the age. Feel free to reopen this if a similar problem crops up.
