"-its not dns, giving it the ip address doesn't help either"
(I appreciate the intention though guys)

I tried giving the ip address and it didn't change anything, deleting
the dns cache, courier settings, internet setups in storage which made
no difference.

I may just do a brain wipe and start over, although I'd prefer to solve
it instead of using the sledgehammer approach

Thanks
