Initial synchronization time

Initial synchronization of your messages can take a long time, later synchronizations only pulls the changed messages - and only downloads metadata if the message content already exists. Several factors influence the download speed when you sync your entire account:

• API key limits cause GMail to throttle the connection, you might want to try your own API key.
• Your personal account has limits which will block or severely throttle your connection if you try to duplicate it several times (maximum ca 3 times per month) (e.g. if you have experimented with IMAP and several tries with gmi). (You can wait a day or two and try again).
• The sync is likely to be throttled with large amounts of messages

Here is a table of user-reports of initial synchronization times as a function of messages. Please add your own experience:

Number of messages	Size of mailbox	Full synchronization time	Full GMI sync last few days	Full IMAP sync performed last few days	Own API key	Notes	Source and date
160.000	12 GB	2 hours	No	No	No		#40/2018-02-22
