IMap search getting stuck #761

I want to check for new emails and parse them every X seconds in Gmail.

To keep it connected all the time I have this:

var imap = new IMap(Config.Email);
imap.connect();

imap.on("ready", () => 
{
    imap.openBox("INBOX", false, (Error, mailBox) =>
    {
        if (Error) 
        {
            console.error(`IMap opening inbox: ${Error}`);
            return imap.end();
        }
    });
});

imap.on("error", (Error) =>
{
    console.error(`IMap connection: ${Error}`);
    imap.connect();
});

imap.on("end", () => 
{
    console.error(`IMap connection ended`);
    imap.connect();
});

And for searching for email I use "forever" function from async library. It executes this function:

function Search(IMap, Callback)
{
    try
    {
        if(IMap.state != 'authenticated')
        {
            console.error(`Not authenticated`);
            return Callback();
        }

        console.log(`Pre-search`);

        IMap.search(["UNSEEN"], function(Error, Results) 
        {
            console.log(`Search`);
            if(Error)
            {
                console.error(`IMap searching: ${Error}`);
                return Callback();
            }

            if(!Results || !Results.length)
            {
                console.log(`No emails`);
                return Callback();
            }
            console.log(`Fetching emails`);
            ...

It works fine for a couple of hours but when connection randomly ends it seems to be stuck on IMap.search when it should probably be called with Error? IMap reconnects but as checking email function stopped on IMap.search it never called Callback

28-03 20:58:30.561: Pre-search
28-03 20:58:31.093: IMap connection ended

Would appreciate if I could be told how should it be done correctly. Thanks.
