Admin is fine. The issue is not nginx, it’s an IMAP error on connection.
Still haven’t figured it out. Can connect fine via Thunderbird… Seems to be if the connection is local that’s it’s failing… ie, roundcubeand I have another app that can’t reach it via the internal network.
So, it like like apache is installed… I’m not sure how perhaps in an apt update? Very strange, but they might be the issue. I should be safe to remove it?
It SHOULDN’T install with a standard apt update/upgrade with MIAB, but if you have other applications that have it as a dependency running on your server, those apps might have done it.
Thanks for the help. This has been solved. As it turns out, it was a provider issue - they made an error in their MTU settings, making them too small, so it was creating delays, and everything was timing out.
Overall a day lost trying to figure out what I did wrong! Next time, I’m going to ask the provider first if they are experiencing any issues! Lesson learned!
Geez, I was just reading about this the other day. It is actually a somewhat common problem that can also be a local ISP, not the hosting ISP, which can also create some problems. Apparently some really old and paranoid admins make their MTU yet lower than most, but that’s around where I stopped reading.
