If you do not know, GMail currently has a limit of 15 simultaneous IMAP connections per account. So if you are using multiple device at once to check your gmail, you might experience too many simultaneous connection error. Try to limit the connection number to avoid the error, or try not to check your mail with all the device at the same time.
