I don't think that wireshark adds much to this. Unless you had a
proxy in the middle, the "connection refused" responses already
indicated that your connections were getting to the/a server, it's
just refusing the connections.
Connections by name, especially short forms, are suspect unless you
can be very certain of how they are being resolved (i.e., what
IPnumber you end up trying to connect to). There is no reason that
using root to connect to port 993 would work when a normal user
doesn't. An IMAP server either accepts the initial connection from a
machine or not - it doesn't know or care what type of user is
originating the connection.
You may want to look into what you were able to connect to via:
openssl s_client -connect maui:993
I'd start by looking up what "maui" resolves to.
I just looked up maui.jaa.org.uk. It (currently) resolves to
213.152.52.233, not the 148.197 you seemed to be using above. I
realize you may have some form of dynamic dns going here, but
thought I'd mention it.
Could you try (as root) two slightly different version of my earlier
netstat commands:
netstat -pnlA inet | egrep ':993|:143'
netstat -pnlA inet6 | egrep ':993|:143'
the addition of "A inet/inet6" will show whether it is listening via
ipv4 (inet) or ipv6 (inet6) on the imap ports.
