Research direction

Start at the node-red-node-email entry point and trace Gmail fetching with SSL, folder/label selection, and the delete disposition, including messages with attachments. Reproduce with the listed Node-RED and Node.js environment if possible; done means a successfully fetched message is deleted without breaking attachment handling.
