I’m getting the following warning on my Discourse dashboard: [תמונה] And this is the log: [תמונה] I’m not sure what, if anything, to do about this.

What does the “info” tab say when you look at that particular error?

Info: Job exception: -ERR [SYS/TEMP] Temporary system problem. Please try again later. Backtrace: /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0/net/pop.rb:1006:in `check_response_auth' /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0/net/pop.rb:905:in `auth' /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0/net/pop.rb:567:in `do_start' /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0/…

It’s just for incoming emails.

OK. So I’m assuming that this is just a glitch, that Google decided not to play nice for a bit. Because a user just sent in a post via email. Sound reasonable? If so, would the polling (when it continued) pick up on the email(s) that were sent during the glitch?
