Thank you @majorsimon. Your replay encouraged me and i searched some more.

Here is the accounts parts inconfig.json codes:

"accounts": [
      {
        "id": "ACCOUNT_ID",
        "metadata": [],
        "name": "MY_NAME",
        "provider": "gmail",
        "emailAddress": "MY_EMAIL@gmail.com",
        "settings": {
          "imap_host": "imap.gmail.com",
          "imap_port": 993,
          "imap_username": "MY_EMAIL@gmail.com",
          "imap_security": "SSL / TLS",
          "imap_allow_insecure_ssl": false,
          "smtp_host": "smtp.gmail.com",
          "smtp_port": 587,
          "smtp_username": "MY_EMAIL@gmail.com",
          "smtp_security": "STARTTLS",
          "smtp_allow_insecure_ssl": false,
          "refresh_client_id": "MY_REFRESH_CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com"
        },
        "label": "MY_EMAIL@gmail.com",
        "autoaddress": {
          "type": "bcc",
          "value": ""
        },
        "aliases": [],
        "syncState": "sync_error",
        "syncError": {
          "code": 1,
          "error": {
            "stack": "Error: Account is missing required fields:imap_password or refresh_token\n    at ChildProcess.onStreamCloseOrExit (file:///C:/Users/appveyor/AppData/Local/Temp/1/nylas-build/electron-packager/win32-ia32/Mailspring-win32-ia32/resources/app/src/mailsync-process.ts:293:21)\n    at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:210:5)\n    at ChildProcess.EventEmitter.emit (domain.js:476:20)\n    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:272:12)",
            "message": "Account is missing required fields:imap_password or refresh_token"
          },
          "signal": null
        },
        "authedAt": 1623430253.809,
        "color": "",
        "__cls": "Account"
      }
    ],
    "accountsVersion": 17
  }

I looked up mailsync-process.ts on github and found where the problem was. It seems lastJSON parsing error from outbuffer.

I also googled about Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:272:12). This seems like a node-gyp build error on windows because the node version is not compatible.
