## E-mail retrieval blocked? ## E-mail access blocked?
If someone wants to retrieve e-mails from a provider whose IP range is blocked, they can open the IMAP port if an e-mail (e.g. to themselves) is sent shortly beforehand (port-knocking) - provided the IP range is not also on an e-mail blacklist. We block some IP ranges if bot attacks frequently come from them.

\ No newline at end of file With some hotel or guest WLANs, the ports for e-mail are generally blocked; with some companies, e-mails can only be retrieved from the company's own server (firewall precaution).
So if only port 443 is open for the web, we recommend setting up the e-mail account in the faircloud and working via it while on the move.
