    I use POP3 with an external email program to
    receive/download from a ***********@eircom.net email address.

    In recent times, it's been timing out most of the time.
    It's unusable at the moment

    This is the error message ........
    ===============================================
    13:24:21.084: --- 27 Nov 2016, 13:24:21.084 ---
    13:24:21.084: Connect to 'webmail.eircom.net', timeout 30 seconds.
    13:24:45.070: >> +OK POP3 Ready 109.234.99.81 0001a37e
    13:24:45.070: << USER **********
    13:24:45.085: >> +OK USER ************* set, mate
    << 0017 PASS XXXXXXXXXX
    13:24:48.101: >> -ERR failed: Could not determine server
    ===============================================

    It can't be my settings as they have been unchanged for years.
    I have no problem with the web/zimbra interface.

    NOTE: Sending mail is not an issue - just POP3
