I don't see any obvious errors from the logs that indicate any failure. I do see the INBOX is rather large so maybe a timeout is involved.
Joseph, yes, it has around 114437 emails

I've enabled logging as per your suggestion:

what should I look in the .out file ?
some of the file is like:

on an uneducated guess, the mailbox is just 'too large' ? POP has difficulty handling so many files ?

maybe send the protocol debug out of thunderbird to the list too? (that'd show exactly what pop3 command thunderbird was hanging on).
Brendan,
thanks, I'll try the server logging first, as I can do it myself

Why is your "Date:" header set to 1665532450?
Jim,
I think it's an issue with SquirrelMail, I think I've seen it before, sometimes...?
