Re: IMAP Issues (error / speed)

Hey Rocco, thanks for the response.  Here is the output for both
imap and smtp:

The odd part is that imap will connect eventually and I can use mutt,
but smtp will never resolve.  Assuming imap timeout is shorter ?
Regardless, something is not right, as "connection timed out" is
probably not ideal ;)

Any suggestions are welcome,
Thanks !
