I've tried the changes that I put below. Users are still able to log in from
the LAN.
However, despite putting the appropriate rule in my firewall allowing port 143
I cannot create a user on a PC outside my network.
I'm using Thunderbird to do the testing. Is there a better way to test my
setup? Thunderbird doesn't give any diagnostic data, it just says it's
failed to test the account.
