Since the localhost4 approach worked, commend out the ipv6 localhost entries in your /etc/hosts file, then try:
IP6 is commented out
dig @localhost localhost a
That works
again. If that works try:
telnet localhost 143
This also works
once again. If those work, it would seem that your ipv6 is messed up and your system is trying it first and not falling back to ipv4.
Regarding your nameserver list in /etc/resolv.conf. If you have a working 127.0.0.1 nameserver you generally don't include external nameservers in that list. So, if non-ipv6 things seem to work, I'd remove the two non-127 nameservers from that list.
Removed the two nameservers. Still can't access mail. Getting connection to storage server failed on the roundcube login page.
That you can now successfully get to "localhost" is good progress. Seems you want to stay away from ipv6 networking issues unless/until you resolve whatever that issue is.
Roundcube is, potentially, a totally separate issue. I don't use it, so can only suggest minimal debugging ideas.
What is the hostname that you use to get to your roundcube instance? Can you resolve that:
dig <hostname> a
If you get an answer, is the ipnumber correct?

Note, if the hostname for your roundcube instance is one of the ipv6 entries in your /etc/hosts file, I'd remove that - and either put in an ipv4 entry or put an entry for it in your dns.
Thanks again! I still think it's a mail issue. I can't get mail using usermin either.
Think I'm going to remove the TLS stuff from postfix main.cf that I
added
yesterday and retry.
If I missed this further up thread my apologies - is SELinux enabled and are there any relevant exceptions being logged?
Pretty sure SELinux is turned off unless it got turned on without my knowledge through an updtate/upgrade.
I removed the TLS lines from main.cf I added last night and remotely did a reboot from here at work.
Mail is again working!! I am skeptical to mark this thread solved as I thought it was solved back in July.
I think, removing my ISP's DNS servers from resolve.conf was the fix, could be removing IPV6 from etc/hosts. Might put it back in just to see.
Again, many, many thanks!!
I really want to thank everyone for their help and patience!!
