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.
