Thanks for your feedback's on your test now I know I am not the only one 
:)

What I am using now is a systemd entry and this is where I am still not 
100% of my parameters. (I guess you don't need theses as you cron 
offlineimap to start every 3 minutes) : 
socktimeout = 30
autorefresh = 0.5
quick = 10
holdconnectionopen = yes

If you/any other have some recommendation of theses parameters when 
using into a systemd entry would be nice.

The main parameter I made some test and still have some issue is the 
socktimeout (I tried to put 10 but sometimes it is not enough to connect 
to O365 or on some bad wireless connectivity)

Many thanks
