Previously posted this to general forum and developer forum but was redirected to post it here.

Hoping this is correct protocol.

After upgrading to Moodle 4.4+ (Build: 20240503) I have two task errors:

1. Failure of Incoming mail pickup 
2. Failure of Cleanup of unverified mail

The first task error  appears to be due to a failure of the system to log into the admin email address via IMAP on port 110.   This is a little odd - IMAP is usually on port 143  and Pop3 is usually on port 110.

The second is also an IMAP failure (same problem plus bad tagged response). 

The email server settings for the admin email  are  correct as tested by other clients and via the email test in Moodle.

Error logs for both failures are below.

Is this a developer issue or is it an admin setup issue that I haven't found? Is anyone else having this problem? What do I need to do to resolve it?

Cheers,

Terence

In the logs below,  for security I've substituted 'domain' for the domain of the mailserver.
