I think BT had a major email outage the other day which might have 
affected you.

Thats all one line.

You might want to update to current version v9.01  I believe it is on 
offer at the moment from R-Comp.

Ensure you are using at least version 1.06 (27 May 2023) mbedTLS 2.28.5 of 
the AcornSSL module, be careful to check the mbedTLS version information 
of the module as that is what tends to be undated

It should be 465 check your you have SSL enabled, and make sure the APOP 
is unticked by the looks of the above link.

That is wrong! it either has to be 993 for IMAP or 465 for SMTP. port 995 
is *only* for POP3.

Good luck
