Description

I use Davmail via my company's VPN. When I'm not connected to the VPN, vdirsyncer will just hang while it tries to connect to a server it will never be able to connect to. Is there any way to tell vdirsyncer to only wait n seconds before giving up on syncing from a particular storage? Even globally, this option would be useful.

Research direction

Start by reading the issue description and tracing how vdirsyncer connects to a configured storage during synchronization. Define completion as a configurable timeout that stops waiting for an unreachable server, preferably with per-storage or global scope as requested; no source files or tests are identified in the issue.
