But clearly it stops due to timeout (or I stop it manually), and next time the "downloading message X or Y" starts where it stopped last time, not with 1 - maybe the previously downloaded ones are found and used? Anyway, for now the problem isn't coming back. I do see TLS tieouts in the log but I can't tell whether they were caused by the same problem or not (I'll check in the next runs). But there's something else, maybe of the same source: I just had a POP mailbox with 80 new messages. After downloading 30% of the first once, it gets stuck. When I download with an MUA, it does work. Maybe something is causing my mpop process to get stuck after downloading a certain volume of messages? -- fr33
