I see now you mean you move messages within Thunderbird and the Outlook 2010 app does not sync those changes. My mistake. FWIW I meant if the client is Windows7/old-Outlook then changing either 993/SSL or 143/STARTTLS to 143/NONE could help pick up the mail. We had to do this for a 100 or so clients a few months ago after upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04.

Is it because that old beast of Outlook does not have the capabilities modern TLS/STARTTLS implementations require regarding TLS minimal version and ciphers? But plaintext auth for mail access, seriously? Alexander
