You can use telnet via a terminal window or telnet app to test IMAP. For instance:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd789687(v=exchg.80).aspx" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd789687(v=exchg.80).aspx</a><br>
<br>
That will at least eliminate one possibility.<br>
