Description
Email importing is not working. Can I debug this at code level? I'd like to know if it's a connection problem of a authentication problem.

papermerge_worker_1  | ?: Failed to login to IMAP server 'xxxxxx.xxxxx.xxx'
papermerge_worker_1  |  HINT:
papermerge_worker_1  |         Please double check that IMPORT_MAIL_HOST,
papermerge_worker_1  |         IMPORT_MAIL_USER, IMPORT_MAIL_PASS settings
papermerge_worker_1  |         are correct.

I double checked configuration by copy and pasting all values in a regular mail client and this works.

Info:

OS: Docker-compose from project
Papermerge Version 2.0 (master)
Docker-Mailserver v10(https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver) running dovecot

Debugging session in three easy steps:

Learn python
Run application in development mode by following this step by step guide.
Insert a breakpoint (starting with python 3.7 there is a built-in breakpoint keyword !)

Happy debugging! 😆 🤣 🥳

You can use this resource to learn how to debug. I don't provide assistance for that.

Insert a breakpoint (starting with python 3.7 there is a built-in [breakpoint](https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/functions.html#breakpoint) keyword !)
