Hi Matt - Thank you for taking the time to respond so quickly! Dunno if I will have time to play with other java applications but that is a thought. (I take off for Europe tomorrow so that may have to wait until I get back in Aug.) Do you know of a 3'rd party client email application that runs on Linux? I was just wanting to set up some email clients on my Android devices and ran into this snag. I have tried the connections using both TLS, SSL, and no encryption, all with the same no joy on my Android devices. The certificates are from LetsEncrypt and are fullchain certs. (They are in fact wildcard certificates for all the subdomains of my main URL)
The log files for James don't show much, the only response I see, when I ask to fetch emails is these 3 lines - INFO 23:27:19,047 | org.apache.james.metrics.logger.DefaultMetricFactory | Time spent in IMAP-NOOP: 0 ms. INFO 23:27:19,065 | org.apache.james.metrics.logger.DefaultMetricFactory | Time spent in IMAP-EXAMINE: 16 ms. INFO 23:27:19,097 | org.apache.james.metrics.logger.DefaultMetricFactory | Time spent in IMAP-SEARCH: 25 ms. To my untrained eyes that almost looks like some sort of protocol or connection error is occurring since I would expect to see a lot more instrumented messages showing up in the logs whenever I click in the client to ask for a new download of messages.
