I had the same issue. The example doesn't work. I'm using mail-notifier instead:

var notifier = require('mail-notifier');

var imap = {
      user: "_example@example.com_",
      password: "password",
      host: "imap.gmail.com",
      port: 993,
      tls: true,
      tlsOptions: { rejectUnauthorized: false }
};

notifier(imap).on('mail',function(mail){
         console.log("GOT MAIL");
}).start();

Works like a charm
