what should I look in the .out file ?
some of the file is like: .... 1665916661.234807 114436 70097 1665916661.234814 114437 154498 1665916661.234821 . 1665916676.430870 +OK 1665916676.981415 1 000024b95283283a 1665916676.981459 2 000024ba5283283a ....

I haven't seen anyone else replying, but there doesn't seem anything anomalous with the output. The session commands-repliesd is is more or less what I expect, although to make sense of this, you'll have to splice the input and output files together using timestamps to see the sequential flow of data.
I forget what the symptoms you originally reported, but theoretically, you could simulate either client or server by feeding in the above data and see how the other end behaves.
If dovecot is serving out the correct data, then TB is somehow misinterpreting it.
on an uneducated guess, the mailbox is just 'too large' ? POP has difficulty handling so many files ?
Typically, if some resource limit is hit, one side or the other will create a log or notification. Your INBOX is large, but not outrageous. You can test it directly by creating smaller subsets of the INBOX messages and see if the problem goes away.
