Juan Tejada 7dec807b28 [client-sync] Fix mail listener imap connection
Summary:
Given that we keep the imap mail listener conenction open outside of the
imap connection pool, it might close itself after a while or after
putting your computer to sleep.

Previously, if we had the connection object we just assumed it was
connected and proceeded with sync, and if it wasn't, we would fall into
an error loop in the sync worker preventing it from syncing at all (T8065)

To fix this, we just call `connect` every time to ensure the connection is open.
(This was the case before we introduced the connection pool)

Client Sync

This is the mail sync engine that runs within the Nylas Mail client

It is symlinked in as an internal_package of Nylas Mail via the postinstall script of the root repo.

Important Usage Notes:

Since this is symlinked in as an internal_package of Nylas Mail, there are a handulf of considerations when developing in client-sync. Some common gotchas:

  • You MAY use NylasEnv, NylasExports and other injected libraries in the Nylas Mail client environment.
  • You MAY use any 3rd party library declared in client-app/package.json. Since this gets added as a plugin of the Nylas Mail client, you'll have access to all libraries. This works because the client-app/node_modules was added to the global require paths. That lets us access client-app plugins without being a file directory decendent of client-app (client-sync is now a sibling of client-app)
  • You may NOT add "dependencies" to the client-sync/package.json. If you need a 3rd party library, add it to the main client-app/package.json. All Nylas Mail plugins (those inside of internal_packages), may no longer declare their own dependencies.
  • You should be aggressive at moving generic mail methods to isomorphic-core. We may eventually want to make large chunks of client-sync work in a cloud environment as well.
