Checking inbox does not poll new emails #94

Open gusmiguens opened 2 years ago

Hi, I'm using this to check gmail inbox waiting for an specific email. The thing is that I tried several scenarios and if the task is polling emails and in the middle I got the desired email, it does not found it. When it fails I run it again and then it finds it.

Is it possible that while polling it does not recognize new emails? Can you help me?

Thanks in advance

@levz0r is it possible that gmail is giving me cache emails? that's why if It didn't find it in the first poll, I won't in the following ones.

@levz0r maybe we should add like the refresh token function whenever we want to retry the polling. I made a in house try like calling the same function until I find the email and the only difference between yours and mine is that every time I call the get token endpoint and then again check inbox and it did work.

I start looking for an email that does not exists and in the middle of the run I send that email so it reaches my inbox while the function is still running and it finds the email
