"Error: self signed certificate" prevents launch

[gaenserich]

Trying to run with this config.js:

 var child_process = require('child_process');

    function getStdout(cmd) {
        var stdout = child_process.execSync(cmd);
        return stdout.toString().trim();
    }

    exports.host = "imap.gmail.com";
    exports.port = 993;
    exports.tls = true;
    exports.tlsOptions = { "rejectUnauthorized": true };
    exports.username = "mygmailname@gmail.com";
    exports.password = getStdout("/usr/local/bin/gpgpasswordscript.sh");
    exports.onNotify = "systemctl --user start update-mail-%s.service";
    exports.boxes = [ "INBOX", "Other" ];

throws this error:

On an ArchLinux machine with the following specs:
imapnotify v0.4.1-9 (from ArchLinux AUR)
node v10.11.0
npm v6.4.1

I have the same error after installing from AUR. I installed it with npm before and it worked. Not sure why as AUR is using npm to install?
