Google is actively trying to discourage IMAP use. I have heard reports that
they deliberately have it fail randomly to aid in this.
What evidence do you have for this?
We have also seen the daily limit problem. In one case, we could find
no
reason why this was happening to one of our users, and it kept up for a
couple of days before it stopped happening without us or the user having
done a thing. In another case, the user did have an Android phone enabled
to access the Google account via IMAP, and when she turned that off, the
limit issue went away. (On phones, there is really no reason to use an IMAP
client, since there are Gmail-specific apps that generally work quite well).
The problem being reported (and which I have also seen) is not with
IMAP but with CalDav. Google rate-limits queries to their CalDav
service and for some reason Evolution is exceeding the limit. See https
