Maybe - I checked creds of accounts for integrations to ensure that these are not timing out, but this seems to be ok.

Same here. Having noticed a looooong startup time for HA. Removing IMAP integration, startup time came to 'as usual startup time'. Thus above mentionned errored appeared also. Note: I am using IMAP, but not with GMail (actually, it is imap.free.fr)

I confirm there is a problem with the imap integration

Hey there @engrbm87, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (imap) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

Code owner commands

Code owners of `imap` can trigger bot actions by commenting: - `@home-assistant close` Closes the issue. - `@home-assistant rename Awesome new title` Renames the issue. - `@home-assistant reopen` Reopen the issue. - `@home-assistant unassign imap` Removes the current integration label and assignees on the issue, add the integration domain after the command.
