No it hasn’t. It still syncs All Mail and requires it, which for large mailboxes can cause gmail to lock you out.
Yes, google/gmail is the provider and has throttling limits that cause problems. HOWEVER - it is eMC’s choice to force only the use of syncing All Mail as the only way to interact with gmail.
I have a large folder as well, and had to enable All Mail for eMC to work. It was a painful first week or so while everything got sorted, and then it’s been painful every so often when there would be a crash and it would resync, but since the most recent update (8.2.something as of 2021-10-20) gmail has started having connection issues and it forces a resync on all mail again which slows EVERYTHING down.
I get it, syncing all mail for small boxes is easy. Syncing one big folder to get all the labels and make folders (gmail) is easier than getting a list of subscribed folders and trying to keep each of them in sync (regular IMAP).
The All Mail sync seriously falls over with large mailboxes, especially when things trigger a full resync of All Mail again. It’s a bad design because, quite simply, it doesn’t scale. That these types of threads or comments occasionally pop up help to show that.
However, what’s REALLY bad, and bordering unforgivable in my opinion, is that eMC supports NORMAL imap systems yet will NOT let the user configure a gmail connection to behave as regular IMAP - it forces the user to use the gmail sync option only. eMC should give the USER the choice how to connect to gmail – as a normal imap provider, or the gmail sync interface pulling in All Mail. eMC does not do this, and there’s no reason not to. It’s not like they’d have to write a proper imap interface, they already have one for regular IMAP hosts. In fact they had to do extra work to create a gmail sync that was different than the IMAP interface, though that was likely done a while ago before gmail supported IMAP.
I say all of this as a paying user of eMC. It is one of my biggest annoyances about eMC.
Sadly, after an exhaustive search and trial of about 8 different Windows email clients, eMC checked more boxes of the features I use and want, so taking the bad with the good, I bought it. Here’s hoping the next major version addresses some of the glaring issues.
[Yes I know I’ve essentially just resurrected an old thread. It popped up when I was doing some more research on All Mail sync issues because it’s once again causing me headaches this week. Seeing “the original post…HAS been solved” just really irked me, because the issue being reported was about the All Mail sync being a problem, and that most definitely has NOT been solved.]
