_Please note:_ this only limits the size per response. It does _not_ limit how many unhandled responses may be stored on the responses hash.
Though it would be useful to also have limits based on response type and what commands are currently running, that's out of scope for now. _Please note:_ this only limits the size per response. It does _not_ limit how many unhandled responses may be stored on the responses hash.

Net::IMAP::Config#max_response_size, with a very high default value of 512MiB. Use#max_response_sizeto impose a limit on incoming server responses as they are being read. This is especially important for untrusted servers.Socket reads are limited to the maximum remaining bytes for the current response:
max_response_sizeminus the bytes that have already been read. When the limit is reached, or reading aliteralwould go over the limit,ResponseTooLargeErroris raised and the connection is closed.Though it would be useful to also have limits based on response type and what commands are currently running, that's out of scope for now.
Please note: this only limits the size per response. It does not limit how many unhandled responses may be stored on the responses hash.
