Hi,  
We use logstash 5.6.5  
Following the example here: [https://qbox.io/blog/indexing-emails-to-elasticsearch-logstash-imap](https://qbox.io/blog/indexing-emails-to-elasticsearch-logstash-imap), I got this error:  
[2018-10-10T13:54:43,586][ERROR][logstash.pipeline] A plugin had an unrecoverable error. Will restart this plugin.  
Plugin: \<LogStash::Inputs::IMAP host=\>"exchimap.vaudoise.ch", password=\>, user=\>"selbadraoui@vaudoise.ch", port=\>993, check\_interval=\>10, secure=\>false, verify\_cert=\>false, id=\>"5ee0cbeb777405522a0ee00bf106ec9bb4eceeaf-2", enable\_metric=\>true, codec=\>\<LogStash::Codecs::Plain id=\>"plain\_9d63c8a9-a6b8-4116-8d6d-527114bbaa03", enable\_metric=\>true, charset=\>"UTF-8"\>, folder=\>"INBOX", fetch\_count=\>50, lowercase\_headers=\>true, delete=\>false, expunge=\>false, strip\_attachments=\>false, content\_type=\>"text/plain"\>  
Error: undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass

Any idea what might be the problem here? Thanks.
