IMAP server

Hello,
I have an email account with SFR and suddenly I can't update my emails. I'm being told that "the connection to the server Imap.sfr.fr has timed out." How can I fix this problem? Maybe my current location abroad has something to do with it.
Thank you very much,

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 81.0

  1. Exactly, my mistake.

    Incoming server authenticated the same way:

    Server = imap.sfr.fr
    port = 993
    Security = SSL/TLS
    Authentication by plain password
    Username = full SFR email address

      hello
      try increasing the server connection time
      Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Config Editor
      search for mailnews.tcptimeout
      increase the value, e.g. 500
      1

        Maybe my current location abroad has something to do with it.

        Very possible. What is the configuration of your outgoing server?
        If it's an unauthenticated sending configuration (without SSL, without authentication method, port other than 465), you can only use it on your ISP's line.
