Here are some suggestions for troubleshooting.

Is the email account being polled?

• Check the System Console. When the email address is being polled it will show in the Completed Tasks
  

What does the error message, "Id is malformed" mean?

• Check the Folder value and ensure this is directing to the right location in the email account. If a sub folder is being used, the values should be folderName/subFolderName

What does it mean if the error message, "AUTHENTICATE failed" shows when the Email Account is displaying AUTHENTICATED?

• Check your Email Account setup matches the above settings
  • For example, for a Microsoft account, ensure the Protocol is set to Microsoft and the Authorisation Type is set to OAuth 2
