The other 20 are top-level, so subfolders is likely not the issue. This is especially true since I only have Push set up for 3 folders in K-9 anyway. > > K-9 would have added additional PUSH and SYNC connections.

In the folders, I can set the folder class for Sync, but don't see a setting for "Only Synch 1st Class Folders" like there is for Push. Regardless, there are no settings I know of in Outlook which limit IMAP connections, so I assume it's full throttle. Having said that, this is a GMail account, and GMail has a max of 15 connections. Since I never saw this issue with just Outlook, it looks like Outlook functions perfectly well with a minimal number of simultaneous connections. I do not have insight into precisely how many it is using, but I don't understand enough about the mechanisms of IMAP to know why K-9 needs more. I suppose they both could be using 8-15 connections for 37 folders...? > > > Seems clear to me there's a K-9 problem and not an Outlook problem. > > Doesn't seem that clear to me.

To be clear, I have PUSH active for "1st Class" folders only in the account settings, and only have 3 folders set up as "1st Class" in the folder's "Folder push class" setting. > > -- > Seth H Holmes > http://www.route-fu.net/ > -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
