In order to avoid
imaplib.error: command: UID => got more than 10000 bytes
I would like to fetch only a specific number of mails or requesting the number of search matches, without throwing an exception.
Is the only way how i can handle this problem, reducing the SINCE
BEFORE
interval on every exception, until i reach the first or last mail?
Editing _MAXLINE would only affect my environment and isn't helpful in this case.
The only solution is to reduce SINCE/BEFORE, or its equivalent.
Will you submit a patch for python's imaplib, or shall I? We can't leave this forever.
