Same here.. were you ever able to figure out the issue?

[fhamidkhan]

Same here, it loops and only shows sign in.

K so I just found this, experienced the same thing, but do not have time to dig into imaplib library. Hopfully putting a finger on the issue will help someone else fix it. See the below description + inline comments.

What everyone here is experiencing happens b/w lines 17-30. An exception is getting thrown...:

def login(self, username, password):
        self.username = username
        self.password = password
        while True:
            try:
                #########################
                #  RIGHT IN HERE SOMEWHERE.
                self.imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(config.imap_server,config.imap_port)
                r, d = self.imap.login(username, password)
                assert r == 'OK', 'login failed'
                print(" > Sign as ", d)
                #########################
            except: # <=======CAUSING THIS TO CATCH,
                print(" > Sign In ...")
                continue # <====FOREVER
            # self.imap.logout()
            break

Try adding a shbang to the config file eg:

#!/usr/bin/env python
imap_server = "imap-mail.outlook.com"
imap_port = 993
smtp_server = "smtp-mail.outlook.com"
smtp_port = 587

I'm with the same problem.. I'am trying to use via cloud9 in my workplace and it gave me this loop, but when i tried at home in Ubuntu 16 it worked normally.

It is also giving me the "Sign in" loop. I also tried it on a different network and still getting the same issue.
I am trying it on a windows system.

I just copied the config data to the main file and changed the references. It's working fine now!

Comments from @mcast123 and @ghandic fixed my problem.

imap_server & imap_port were throwing NameErrors, meaning the env-variables shown in @ghandic's post weren't accessible to the program.
