I'm syncing with Googlemail via IMAP and have about 40,000 emails in my Google account. This worked fine on a PC, using Google Apps Sync, which isn't available on a Mac.

All 40,000 emails seemed to synch OK, and the sync appears to finish or almost finish (just 20 or so left sometimes), but then Outlook just crashes (multi-coloured pinwheel of death) requiring a forced close. When you run it again, it tries to synch again and then crashes again.

Is there a limit to the number of emails you can sync through IMAP? Or is this another problem?

Please help.

Many thanks & regards

Bill
