Hopefully it gives you peace from the recurrent emails long enough to

There is not realy an underlying problem. The only problem is the
messages every 5 minutes that there was no email or 5 emails have been
dowloaded or something like that.

As I said, the same configuration worked on Debian without a problem -
for several years.
