"Error with account (...). A The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving a message. Mail server pop.yandex.ru responded: Idle for too long" or "The LIST command did not succeed. Error getting the ID and size of a message. Mail server pop.yandex.ru responded: Idle for too long".

Thunderbird 102.11.0 (64-bit) Microsoft Windows 10.0.19045.2965 POP3 with pop.yandex.ru:995

What could be the problem, and how to solve it?
