Issue connecting N8N to IMAP account
-
I'm trying to setup an IMAP trigger in N8N using a mail account on my Cloudron machine.
In Cloudron, I've added the new mail account to my user and generated an app password for it (n8n@domain.com).
I've confirmed that I can login via. IMAP remotely from another device:
server: my.erratic.cloud
port: 993
username: n8n@erratic.cloud
password: [app password]Now, in N8N I've added a new set of IMAP account credentials:
user: n8n@domain.com
password: [app password]
host: my.erratic.cloud
port: 993
SSL/TLS: yes
Self-signed: noHowever, any attempt to use/save those credentials is met with a timeout error.
Couldn’t connect with these settings Timed out while connecting to server*Any hints would be appreciated.

@OneWheelGeek If you open a n8n web terminal, are you able to
telnet my.domain.com 993? Does it connect ? -

This box is behind NAT and, apparently, I'd messed up my firewall rules.
Thank you for the shell/telnet suggestion though. That was helpful.
Sorry for wasting your time!
