Martin, I use Xencentric for the WROCC domain, and we had the same issue 
about 6 weeks ago and after spending a lot of time investigating it was 
issues with Xencentric's SSL certs, plus their authoritative  server being 
slow to respond which caused the "connection lost" timeouts. They use 
Let's Encrypt SSL certs per customer domain it appears and when we were 
migrated from one server to another on their system, it broken the SSL 
chain. They eventually fixed those issues. So we do not have the issue.

Bob has said he has used his phone and tablet via IMAP with the same 
Xencentric servers and its working.
