The main problem  is current inability to think straight :-)  
The message said IMAP, so my thoughts jumped 
immediately to my IMAP server.  Absolute nonsense.  The 
message came from the router.  I'm not even sure that 
there ever was a problem.  I was playing around 
yesterday with wifi settings, and that's a dhcp address, 
whereas I use static for most things, so was probably 
from a very short-lived situation.  I'm going to ignore it 
unless it turns up again.  If it does I might have more 
idea about what's going on.
