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.)
OK - one more thought. If you haven't already tried this, try connecting to the IMAP server from a different (network) location. A good trial would be to use K9 on an android phone over your mobile provider's network (make sure you turn off wifi on the phone first). Or (possibly difficult at the moment in lockdown) try connecting from a laptop over a public wifi. You could of course also set up a wifi hotspot on your phone and connect through that from your laptop.
The point is to remove your local network from the equation. If no-one else is complaining and your ISP is not helping, then the problem /may/ not be their end.
