Re: [MlMt] Too many simultaneous connections

Just for the record, this is what happens from the perspective of MailMate: The server rejects the authentication attempt (username and password) and then MailMate informs the user with the opportunity to update the password. The “too many simultaneous connections” text is a human readable string from the server that MailMate just brings to the user without knowing its meaning. Unfortunately, MailMate cannot use this to determine what the problem is since it could change at any time. It might even be a localized string. Clicking OK only makes the box reappear. Trying to bring Gmail online produces the box again. Closing MailMate and reopening also doesn't work. Gmail hiccup or MailMate problem? Google (and most other IMAP providers) has a maximum limit on the number of simultaneous connections for a given Gmail account. The current limit is 15 I believe, but each device/email client might use multiple connections. Also, I've seen the Notes application use multiple connections since it stores notes on an IMAP server. MailMate uses a maximum of 3 connections for an IMAP account. The latest beta should also be able to automatically reduce this to 1 connection if there are any authentication problems, but I'm not 100% sure this works as expected. In other words, try to reduce the number of connections to the server.

Re: [MlMt] Share settings on multiple installs?
Benny, Sounds like a nice way to do it, willing to test this any time Marc On 10 Jan 2014, at 22:09, Benny Kjær Nielsen wrote: On 10 Jan 2014, at 15:28, Jonathan Clark wrote: Having tried MlMt for a month and love what it already is, and that the route to even greater things is clear, I'm pleased to commit to it, So I'd like to use it on my college computer as well. Is there a way of sharing app settings (and account settings) over Dropbox, so I can keep the two in sync? No, you can easily move all the .plist files in `~/Library/Application Support/MailMate`, but there is no way to synchronize these. In particular, you should never change these files manually while MailMate is running. I've considered ways to synchronize certain settings using IMAP itself, in particular, smart mailboxes and tags, but I haven't yet tried anything in practice. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
