I'd be very grateful if you could clarify something for me. Under the assumption that my internet connection was stable and that I had to insert the password when requested to initiate the connection (ie I didn't store the password in .muttrc or any other file), is there risk that such download was interrupted by some ``timeout'' behaviour (of mutt, of the server, of the connection etc...) ? Since it took some time I looked away during the process so I'd have missed an error especially if being displayed for just few seconds. If requested to reinsert the password, then I might have missed this too (note that such requests for input _would_ timeout indeed). No particular email message is extremely large, hence intuitively I'd expect that every new email fetched would reset any possible timeout. And if not, I'd expect mutt would reconnect automatically (without me needing to reinsert the password even if as I said I didn't store the password). Do you have any idea? Please, let me know. Many warm thanks in advance for your expert opinion!

J'imagine donc que c'est une erreur de langage due ? l'habitude :) Le probl?me du timeout ne me para?t pas investigable sans les fichiers de configuration. Plusieurs pistes selon moi : - les logs pour trouver des mentions de timeout - une comparaison de la taille du fichier/r?pertoire avec les estimations de volume du provider (sur le webmail ?) Pour ma part j'utilise une synchro par un logiciel tiers avant de consulter avec mutt... Bonne journ?e -- Regards, Tonus
