IMAP pull_from_email_account

I just recently setup a new development ERPNext instance for a client and I’m running into an IMAP issue…

Error
{'retry': 0, 'async': True, 'log': <function log at 0x7f98ebb77268>, 'user': 'Administrator', 'event': 'all', 'kwargs': {'email_account': 'Sales'}, 'method_name': 'pull_from_email_account', 'method': <function pull_from_email_account at 0x7f98ebb06400>, 'site': 'portal.somedomain.com', 'job_name': 'pull_from_email_account|Sales'}

    return _compile(pattern, flags).search(string)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    return "-ERR Exceeded the login limit" in strip(cstr(e.message))
AttributeError: 'TypeError' object has no attribute 'message'

I see the exceed login limit in the last error but I believe there is an issue with just parsing the inbox itself and finding messages.

I’m running the latest development (v11).

Let me know if you have any ideas.

Update: I’ve found the following information when searching online for similar issues (non-erpnext)…
