From the start I’ve had the log being stamped with IMAP\Connection is already closed when running bin/console mautic:email:fetch every time the cron job was running and there is a long standing ticket open for this issue and whether it’s a floater or not I can’t say since I’m new to Mautic since of v6.0.4. But, what I can say is that the issue and getting ride of the errors in the prod-log can be solved by what is suggested in ticker [#14344](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/14344#issuecomment-3066288125) to change line 394 in /app/bundles/EmailBundle/MonitoredEmail/Mailbox.php from:

`return $this->isConfigured() && $this->imapStream && @imap_ping($this->imapStream);`

to:

`return $this->isConfigured() && is_resource($this->imapStream) && @imap_ping($this->imapStream);`

fixes the issue as well for us using v6.0.4.

Thanks for sharing this workaround it’s really helpful! Replacing `imap_ping()` with `is_resource($this->imapStream)` on line 394 in `Mailbox.php` solved the “IMAP\Connection is already closed” error for me as well on Mautic 6.0.4.
