I'm sorry being so late in my answer.
I didn't know about nethogs. It indeed told me I had some trouble with one of 
the mailbox I had. More precisely, it's a new addition, so nothing to do with 
the previous problems here, and the box wasn't displayed in the left frame 
displaying all the boxes managed, so I knew something was wrong with it but 
kept it as is for time reason. At least I saw that "I'll see this problem 
later" was taking time and bandwidth and removed it for now.
Many thanks.

Sincerely

.Y
