Christine Spang a57e4bdd20 [cloud-api] Verify SMTP credentials in /auth endpoint
Summary:
This patch will prevent users from being able to connect accounts which sync
mail but fail to send.

This commit includes a couple pieces:
* Adds a call to nodemailer's `verify()` function in the /auth endpoint
* Adds Error object conversion for SMTP errors. Since we don't implement our
  own connection object or connection pool for SMTP, we simply wrap the couple
  places we call functions from nodemailer that connect to SMTP, namely
  SendmailClient's _send() and the new verify() call in /auth.
* Moves RetryableError to the 'errors' module since it's now a base class for
  retryable IMAP //and// SMTP errors.
* Moves the main `smtpConfig()` logic which used to live on the Account model
  into AuthHelpers so it can be shared between the Account model and the verify
  code.
* Converts a few different places to use `import` syntax instead of
  `require` syntax for module imports. Apologies for not splitting this out
  into a separate diff—would have been a fair amount of work and looks not too
  difficult to skim over in the context of the rest of the patch.
* Fixing a bug in a previous commit where erroring sends would crash because of
  using `this._transporter.options` instead of `this._transporter.transporter.options`

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.
