Whatever you try, it might be a good idea to tell the ISP that you intend doing that. The UK CMCA can criminalise such action and you might set off all sorts of alarms. But the fact that you want to test this might make them wake up to your problem.
- I've asked on the forum page but no-one else seems to be having
this problem. (It isn't super busy most of the time though, so ...)
And no-one from the ISP has responded?

Not there. I have had an email conversation with them, however, but it was proving frustrating so I ended it. (I have told them I tried the open ssl thing, by the way.)

(Addendum to earlier email)
Assuming that your ISP is idnet, then the imap.idnet.net server runs an HTTP(S) server for webmail (on webmail.idnet.com but the same IP address) - which responds very quickly. I can't remember whether you tried that connection, and if so, what the result was.
