Note that essentially you're telling fethmail to break down the comm
process after each mail retrieved. This will be a huge load on your
server.
But this is handy when the link is flaky, and you can avoid
re-downloading the same mail over and over again.

Depends on your link I would say. I normally don't limit it at all. In
the office Lan, I just fire away and all 900+ emails gets DL'ed into my
laptop
