Additional info
The NC instance is hosted by IONOS as a "Managed Nextcloud". I can't upgrade NC nor any app.
When I create another mail account hosted for instance at hostinger, everything works fine.
I receive mails delivered to this OVH mail account in NC/Mail.
This is not a matter of OVH mail password.
When I configure the exact same OVH email account in thunderbird, everything works fine.
I'm not sure the following error is related to this bug:
Exception
OCA\Mail\Controller\DraftsController::update(): Argument #2 ($accountId) must be of type int, null given, called in /var/www/html/lib/private/AppFramework/Http/Dispatcher.php on line 230 in file '/var/www/html/apps/mail/lib/Controller/DraftsController.php' line 157
