Dear Maintainer,

I tried to fetch my email with movemail from Gmail:
user@host:~/.mail$ movemail imaps://j.kylmala@imap.gmail.com GMAIL
Imap Passwd:
movemail: cannot append message 511: Numerical result out of range

However, after downloading around 2MB of mail I get the above "Numerical result out of range" error message and mail downloading stops. Then to continue downloading I need to run the command again, every ~2MB. I expect it to download all my mail at once and without any errors.
