My email host provider xencentric hosting updated their servers on
saturday night from Dovecot 2.3 to 2.4 and in so doing broke Hermes
pop3 and smptp. The company is suggesting that It's just me and by
inference that it's Hermes.

I'm getting certificate errors which I can't get passed. I've updates
my machines certs but no improvement.

I can sometimes pull email using  port 110 but with no secure
connection just APOP but it mostly fails with "Connection lost".

SMTP is almost none functional for the same reasons and I've swapped
to using virgin media severs for own domain emails which actually
works fine.

What to do?

I'm not convinced xencentric are bothered about 1 customer, I hope
I'm wrong.

My phone and iPad use imap and they're working fine.

So has email moved past what Hermes can handle now?

Should I change provider?


Any suggestions?

Bob.
