GMail has a concurrency limit on access via IMAP, which at the time of writing is 15.

In order to not run into `[ALERT] Too many simultaneous connections`, you can reduce

64+
[load]

# Prevent the IMAP error: "[ALERT] Too many simultaneous connections"
66+
# by limiting the number of concurrent load jobs
67+
workers=15
