[Users] Preferences/Other/Miscellaneous does not exist

[John Jason Jordan]

I have Claws Mail version 3.11.1, from repositories on Xubuntu 14.04, up
to date.

I am having difficulty connecting to my Gmail account. This is from the
log:

* Account 'Gmail': Connecting to POP3 server: pop.gmail.com:995...
[08:31:05] IMAP4> 912 NOOP 
[08:31:06] IMAP4< 912 OK Success 
** Session timed out. You may be able to recover by increasing the
  timeout value in Preferences/Other/Miscellaneous.

Unfortunately, I cannot find Preferences/Other/Miscellaneous. I also
wonder about the 'IMAP' in the above log. Why is that in there if I
connect to this account with POP3 and SMTP?

Some clues would be appreciated. :)
