Mail socket error (err 32) Broken pipe

[mihok]

I get this error from the mail modules specifically, and sporadically. Is there a workaround to prevent this? Usually reloading i3 fixes the problem but its annoying to have to do that every time.

I'm using imap and connecting to gmail for context

Installing imaplib2 might help, not sure.

Hmm, tried installing imaplib2 and now receive this error:
