Hello everyone,

I’m having trouble retrieving emails via the Nylas API. Everything works fine with Google and Microsoft, but when people connect their Paris Bar Association email accounts([email@avocat.fr](mailto:email@avocat.fr)), folders such as “Inbox” and “Drafts” are not returned by Nylas. When I look at my dashboard, I see that the provider detected by Nylas is IMAP, so I think it must be related to that. Does anyone know how to fix this error?

Thanks in advance.
