Description
Which node are you reporting an issue on?
Node-red-node-email
What are the steps to reproduce?
This is a long running flow that wakes up every 10 minutes and fetches Gmail email.
What happens?
It stops fetching. Under the node, it just says "Fetching" and the flow does not continue. There are no errors in the log.
Re-deploying the flow fixes the problem.
What do you expect to happen?
I would the flow to continue or produce an error message in the log.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the long-running Node-red-node-email flow that fetches Gmail every 10 minutes, then inspect the node-red-node-email implementation and its logging path when the status remains "Fetching." Done means the flow continues fetching or produces a useful error in the log instead of requiring a redeploy.
