Claws and Evolution are both slow. (They've only got one mailbox to check.)
Found these two in the Claws log.
IMAP< 20 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: Queue (0.001 + 0.000 secs). ** IMAP error on ********************* STATUS error
[where ***** = name of ISP server)
None of the tests show the lag between opening up and the connection being made, though. It was odd testing it using Dovecot in Terminal as nothing seemed to be happening for a while. I just had to wait for it to throw some text up when it was ready to.

It's not improved. Tested it again just now using open ssl instructions as before, also slow. (Slow to make initial connection, slow to send an email etc.)
So, assuming I've exhausted everyone's knowledge here, how can I convince my ISP to have look at things their end? I have no idea what else I can do.
How did the test with Claws go Bev? Same result as TBird?
You could copy the network log from Claws and send that to your ISP. It will show all the timings and there will be obvious slow spots around authentication and logging in if their end is at fault.
