Is there a throttling component to this? I seem to recall that some people used to encounter problems when trying to use a script to access GMail (for backups).

- csallen 17y agoGmail only allows 10 simultaneous IMAP connections to your Gmail account (http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=97150 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answe...), and that isn't changing with this new OAuth news. And based on my experience working on Syphir (https://www.syphir.com https://www.syphir.com), chances are you won't run into any IMAP throttling problems based the frequency of your access. Syphir makes a few IMAP calls per user per incoming email, and we generally haven't run into any problems.
