Steps to reproduce
GMX (provider) Inbox not updated when connected via WiFi in Finnland. K9 reporting authentication error. However, update works totally fine via mobile data once WiFi is switched of.
Expected behavior
IMAP should work, obviously.
Actual behavior
Just got in to another EU country. Roaming working fine and inbox receives updates. After checking in the WiFi in my temporary home, updates stop once the device is connected to WiFi. After disconnect everything fine (with mobile/roaming data). WiFi without any frills and no VPN. Internet connection via WiFi fine as well in browser. Several other inboxes from other providers receive updates as well.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the GMX IMAP authentication failure on the reported WiFi connection versus mobile data, then gather logs and compare the two paths; done means the cause is identified and the inbox updates reliably over WiFi.
