Bonjour,

Il me semble que la liste mentionne -fr...
J'imagine donc que c'est une erreur de langage due à l'habitude :)

Le problème du timeout ne me paraît 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/répertoire 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 journée
