Problems retrieving maillboxes object when listing mailboxes

[reeseovine]

Can someone please help me out here?

I believe the problem you are having is the client is closing before the response is returned.
As BrowserBox is asynchronous the close function is actually called before the listing is completed. The following code should work.

client = new ImapClient(host, port, options);
client.connect()
.then(client.listMailboxes)
.then((mailboxes) => {
        console.dir(mailboxes);
 })
.then(client.close);

nit: Note that unless ImapClient is now automatically binding its methods, you'd need to do something like client.listMailboxes.bind(client) and client.close.bind(client) or wrap them in arrow-functions too like () => client.listMailboxes() and () => client.close. (Note that it's important to not wrap the arrow function body in braces if you want the implicit return of the Promise returned by listMailboxes.

Good catch @asutherland :-)

listMailboxes and close both need parentheses to run the functions, but with the two of your suggestions it works! Thank you so much!
