Sweet crap, I'm going to have my gmail account banned, and its my main account
I added a pop account to the extra accounts tab to pull in my old mail from an unused account. It pulled in a few hundred old messages, no worries. But for some reason it's forwarding them all back to my pop address, which fails because gmail is amalgamating the email address. Long story short is for every email that comes in, two get forwarded back out, and are then returned by the deamon, thus actually returning 4, but then returning 8, and then... ya, ouch.
I'm going on a thousand emails in just the last few minutes.
Oh phuk.
