Hello all,
I have a Mutt+msmtp+offlineimap set up. This has been working very well for the past weeks. offlineimap is croned each 3 minutes.
Since one hour, Mutt is no more receiving incoming emails. I only see them on the gmail website or on my mobile device. When I run $offlineimap it returns this error:
ERROR: Exceptions occurred during the run! ERROR: While attempting to sync account 'Gmail' [ALERT] Account exceeded command or bandwidth limits. (Failure)
After some readings, it seems this is a common issue, but I couldn't find any clear answer how to deal with it. Then, I have no idea why suddenly one hour ago offlineimap stop syncing as I didn't received neither sent any attached files!
Please help if someone knows how to deal.
Regards.
You probably set it to sync too often. Stop trying to sync for a day or so (and set your frequency lower). Contrary to popular belief, being 10 minutes late getting an email probably WON'T get you killed or fired =)
