Thanks for any help/suggestions. ▲ Collapse

Anyway, I have discovered that my client starts downloading all mails in an endless loop when the number of mails stored on the server exceeds 1000 (appro... See more

Anyway, I have discovered that my client starts downloading all mails in an endless loop when the number of mails stored on the server exceeds 1000 (approximate number, may be a bit less or more).

So my solution is to clear the server when the number of mails approaches 1000. Sometimes I forget, and wake up with 5000 mails more in my inbox.
