IMAP

NOTIFICATIONOVERFLOW — NOTIFICATIONOVERFLOW

Too many events to notify

Riposte solution

The server had too many events to send via its real-time mechanism. If you rely on such notifications, consider doing a full sync to ensure you didn't miss anything. Practically, you might never see this unless subscribing to IMAP events. If it does occur, schedule a resynchronization of the mailbox to catch up on changes.
