I get "Error: Unexpected socket close" when using the email send node in the node-red-node-email package. I tried different email-adresses ([web.de](http://web.de) and [yahoo.com](http://yahoo.com)) with POP3 and IMAP. Node subtitle in Node RED says "sending..." but then cancels with the above error message. Thanks for any help.
