[arch-general] offlineimap + gmail : don't sync anymore
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 =)

Even better, remove it from crontab and set "idlefolders = ['INBOX']". -- Mantas Mikulėnas

Mantas, can you be more precised please? I know how to remove the crontab. But shall I add the second variable in muttrc? Thank you

To `offlineimap.conf`. Take a look at `/usr/share/offlineimap/offlineimap.conf`. Kazuo Teramoto

For now, as suggested, I stopped my offlineimap cron and will wait. I will investigate more about the right settings in offlineimaprc, as my issue is not expected to arise. There must be some misconfiguration somewhere.
