I would prefer if heliotrope could recognise the IMAP limit exceeded situation and give a sensible error message - 'gmail won't give any more messages now, please try again after an hour' or something along those lines. I got through over 12000 messages before hitting trouble, so people with smaller accounts may never hit the problem and would like the speed to be as high as possible. Hamish Downer
