Timeout with large amount of unread mail

[Jonathan Ernst]

One of my user had more than 400 unread e-mail in his gmail inbox and unity-mail thinks that the connexion times out and never finishes to read the e-mails.

You'll find attached a patch that fixes the issue by resetting the alarm between each e-mail.

Thanks for your tool and best regards.

Thank you for this report!

Your fix is not very good because we have fixed interval for mail checks (20 seconds by default), and 4*400 > 20, which can cause an error in GObject loop.

I'll try to write a better fix later, and it'll probably land in 0.10 (too late for 0.9 which is in testing now).

I'll implement a configuration file setting for custom "alarm" interval. Will this suit you?

How much time does retrieving data from "more than 400" emails take? Maybe it is reasonable to add another 10 seconds if mail count is >=100? 4+10 sounds better for me than 4*400.
