Pull_from_email_account & email_account.receive errors

Frappe Framework Bug
1

Hi guys! I have a weird issue with reoccurring errors. Seems to have to do with my email-account?

My instance:

Vanilla ERPNext: v11.1.52 (version-11)
Frappe Framework: v11.1.48 (version-11)

My instance is running on a VPS with a custom domain and SSL.

I get two different error messages over and over:

#1 pull_from_email_account

The has been addressed in v11 and v12 by the Rockstars at GreyCube. (All hail Jignesh and Ashish!)
