Have you reached the daily limit?

I wasn't aware about this daily limit!! thank you! But, no, today I did't exceed the limit. The Gmail account looks not to be suspended, I went on the admin console.

Are you talking about an imap or pop mail account ?

46,000 emails - the limit is not the number of emails. It's the amount of bandwidth you use - the accumuated size of X amount of emails and any attachments.

• Limit Per day
• Download with IMAP 2500 MB
• Download with POP 1250 MB
• Upload with IMAP 500 MB

Do you have more than one laptop/desktop computer or phone accessing the same gmail account ? If yes, then the download limit is not restricted to one account, it's an accumuated amount over all devices. Recommend you switch off other connections.

As you mention 'gmail' - I'm assuming it's Imap mail account: Do you see a folder called 'All Mail' in the Folder Pane? If yes, then I advise you unsubscribe from seeing it, because the 'All Mail' folder contains a complete duplicate of everything. So your entire download MB number could be twice as much as you need.

Gmail stores everything in the 'All Mail' folder - received, sent, archived, everything. If you delete anything from that folder you will delete it completely no matter what other folder it appears in. If you have an Anti-Virus product scaning files and the AV decides to try and fix that 'All Mail' file, you could lose a lot of emails.

In Folder Pane

• Right click on the imap gmail account name folder and select 'Subscribe'
• Select the 'All Mail' folder
• click on 'Unsubscribe'
• click on OK

Then in gmail webmail account access via a browser

• Settings > see all settings > Labels
• Locate the 'All Mail' folder and uncheck the 'Show in Imap' option.

Thank you for your answer! I went in gmail settimng and found out that somehow IMAP was disabeled... I enabeled it and now it started downloading again the messages. Also I found this Gmail help thread which talks about changes happening in Fall 2024 with syncing: link text
