Do the same user(s) have this problem and/or do each user have their
own mail configuration for their mail readers?

If yes, I would also check that the port and security protocol matches
(i.e. clear/TLS/SSL on ports 110/110/995 respectively).  Mismatched
configurations could cause what you describe.

Log messages could also be helpful here.
