      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: no

      However, 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 ?

          @girish I'm just going to hang my head in shame now 🙂

          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!
