This is exactly, what I was about to say, after catching up with the
thread (or rather, the bunch of threads...).


You mentioned in your OP, you set Use Secure Connection to Whenever
Possible. Later on you told us, the firewall got port 143 open only,
which is the default IMAP port.

The issue is, that the Secure Connections options are named badly, or
rather used to be (getting back to this). Always means SSL (port 993),
Whenever Possible means StartTLS -- which IIRC starts with port 143 and
uses 993 later on, or some such. Obviously your server does not have SSL
or TLS enabled, thus your choice should have been Never to use security.
Your server isn't configured to use it anyway, so why bother. ;)

However, the real issue behind this is, that the options where named
badly. Since 2.6.0, this is corrected and clearly states No encryption,
TLS and SSL encryption respectively.

Die, FAQ, die! :-)
