Describe the bug

I've encountered some errors when importing emails using IMAP connector. (See logs below)

The EISDIR seems to be caused by empty attachment.filename (IDK why).

1e048fdbc1/packages/backend/src/services/IngestionService.ts (L375)

And the ENAMETOOLONG might be caused by really really long email.id.

1e048fdbc1/packages/backend/src/services/IngestionService.ts (L342)

These cases are quite rare (2 errors out of 10000+ imported emails), but it would be nice if we could improve the robustness of the importer. :)

To Reproduce

Add an ingestion with IMAP, connecting to Gmail
Wait until the importing process is done
Open the logs with docker logs and see these error messages

Expected behavior

Emails should be imported and archived.
