[issue23647] imaplib.py MAXLINE value is too low for gmail

[Arnt Gulbrandsen]

Arnt Gulbrandsen added the comment:

The RFC in question is 2683, which isn't a standard, it's just advice.

What gmail breaks is the expectation that mailboxes and seach results are smallish. If you run a python script on gmail and it runs a search, the result can be a great deal bigger than the author of RFC2683 foresaw.
