Comment (by wretched_dutchman):
I see multiple options in how to resolve this. Since google only supports
10 logins simultaneously we need to honor that.
1) check how many simultaneous connections are possible and save this
setting (and repeat this test once in a while). This can be done to test
if the login is correct. Then open one socket per directory without
starting the syncing-process. Now you can test which sockets do still
allow a login and which don't (e.g. count how many login's are allowed
simultaneous.) And of course while syncing with multiple connections also
catch the failed to login-alert and see that the max connections is
decreased.
2) Allow the user to determine it's own maximum simultaneous connections
in a setting (used by most clients as far as I'm aware of).
3) Use one connection in total, or do a serial retrieval of the
directories which all it's own connection. This is the slowest option, but
makes sure that you never exceed the limit of simultaneous connections.
