imap2gg: Error while interacting with the IMAP SERVER: ''MailBox' object has no attribute '_criteria_encoder'' about mail2googlegroup

I ran into the same problem but noticed that the code in question had been removed from an earlier version of an imported library. After running pip install imap-tools==0.22.0 it started working for me. Not sure if this is ideal since imap-tools is currently version 0.31 but at least it should get you started.

I was getting the same error, and after downgrading to imap-tools==0.30.0 everything works as expected. This is somehow related to issue #3. @XaviTorello I think that after you downgraded the library you didn't make a release (or the release was wrong), because doing a pip install mail2gg I got the latest imap-tools release, currently 0.39.0, not the fixed 0.30.0 version we're supposed to get.

I was wrong: version 0.30.0 also fails, it worked just because I had the "count=1" fix. Version 0.22.0 works fine.

Honestly, I don't know how to apply your fix.

I think this should be mentioned in README if possible until an official update fixing the things arrives.

Running into the same issue here. Syncing from a Dreamhost IMAP server. Will post back if I find a solution, but would really appreciate any help.

Looks like the count=1 fix is to set the count variable to 1 on this line:

mail2googlegroup/mail2gg/__init__.py

Line 120 in fa835a4

count = self.count_elements(remote_mailbox)

Doing so prevents the code from calling search() on the remote mailbox which is where the error is coming from. I'm wondering if there are any important side-effects to not having a count...

Found this in the following issue: #5

If you are looking to get this working with the count fix, follow these instructions (Linux):

1. Clone the repository
   git clone https://github.com/XaviTorello/mail2googlegroup.git
2. Move into the directory
   cd mail2googlegroup
3. Open the file with that line of code in your editor of choice
   vi mail2gg/__init__.py
4. Change the count line and comment out the old value
   OLD -> count = self.count_elements(remote_mailbox) NEW -> count = 1 #self.count_elements(remote_mailbox)
5. Install local package with pip3
   pip3 install -e .

Thank you so much! This finally got me up and running.
