Hello,

I have a problem in Thunderbird when transferring emails from one account to another. It tells me that "the server has timed out" and interrupts the transfer of files. How can I fix it?

I attach a picture of my connection speed.

Thank you, best regards

There is significant overhead in transferring data between IMAP accounts. One possible item to try would be changing the setting of mailnews.tcptimeout from 100 to 300 or whatever might work. You can do that at settings>general and scroll down to config editor.
