Does the account not show a exclamation mark in the navigation? That was the error handling we once added. Nothing more, nothing less.
And I assume the loading of the page slows down.
Our error handling still works. It is handled and the account shows the special error icon. I'm able to change account settings as well.
It gets weird if the password was changed only <2h ago. Then we load the mailbox and try to continuously sync it and potentially lock ourselves out of the IMAP server.

Running into server-side rate limits is now avoided with https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/pull/8933
