IMAP

TOOBIG — TOOBIG

Message or operation too big

Riposte solution

The message or operation is too large for the server to handle. For example, an attachment might exceed the allowed size or too many messages were requested at once. To resolve, try splitting the operation: send smaller emails or fetch messages in smaller batches. If sending via Riposte, you may need to enforce attachment size limits and inform the user to reduce the size.
