For what it's worth - I have been having the same issue with Mail.app on iOS. Not sure about macOS since I use Thunderbird.

I suspect it's an issue with the client itself - Mail.app. Not seeing anything in logs that would indicate an IMAP server issue.

If it's been awhile since I opened the client (ie, overnight), the status bar does show "Downloading {num_messages} Messages" but UI never updates with the latest messages. In order to fix it, I have to close and re-open the Mail.app.

Thunderbird on macOS works fine. Maybe issue is with my large mail box (40,000+ e-mails) and Mail.app is just poorly optimized? Or maybe new features -- "Categories" and "Apple Intelligence" -- broke the client?

Devices:

* iPhone 15 Pro Max -- iOS 18.3.1

Hey list,

I am experiencing a strange problem where I don't even know where to begin to 
debug.

I am running my own email server in my office. The server itself works fine.

In my office firewall, I have set up DNAT/port forwarding to be able to access 
the server
from outside.

With my Android phone and my iPad I have no problems accessing the mails from
anywhere, including my home WiFi.

However with my iPhone, I have problems accessing my inbox when I am on my home 
WiFi.
The problems only started a few weeks ago, it worked fine for years before. I 
have
not changed any network related settings.

Now, when I am on my home WiFi, I cannot use the "pull down to refresh" 
gesture. It
just is not fetching any emails. The automatic sync/fetching is also not 
fetching the
newest emails. Eventually, some emails will come through, but they are
from ~6-7 hours ago. Same WiFi as my other devices that work fine.
As soon as I disable WiFi on my iPhone and switch to mobile data and do the 
"pull
down to refresh" gesture, all mails from the last 6-7 hours immediately come in.


Has anyone ever experienced something like this and can help me analyse the 
problem?
