"Problem with sync" when too many messages in an imap folder

Hi,
I'm using SailFish OS 2.0.0.10
When I go to the "Sent" imap folder and select "Update", Sailfish only downloads the emails I sent from my Jolla but does not download the other emails and it says "Problem with sync".
After a few "Get more message" in the "Inbox" folder, I get the same : "Problem with sync" error.
It seems that the reason is that : there are too many messages in the folder.
Can anyone tell how to change the maximum imap messages number (or maximum total imap folder size) ?
I currently have ~4500 in Inbox and ~1500 in Sent, no problems

Maybe the limits are 4096 for Inbox and 2048 for Sent.
Do you know where does the application store its data on the filesystem ?

SebM ( 2016-04-03 21:23:17 +0200 )editThe Sailfish e-mail client has been performing poorly with large IMAP accounts, large IMAP folders and/or slow IMAP servers for ever - see for example https://together.jolla.com/question/88743/creating-imap-account-in-mail-app-fails-with-large-number-of-folders/ . With my home IMAP server (which works fine with any other mail client I use on any platform), I cannot even create the account...

Isn't the "emailAccountInstance.test" timeout fixed in Sailfish v2.0.0.10 ?
Or shall I change the "emailAccountInstance.test" value myself to 120 seconds ?

Pim ( 2016-04-04 11:44:23 +0200 )editFor me that's NOT OK, because I cannot download any new mail anymore in my Inbox folder.
