I use IMAP to check a mailbox assigned by the ISP. This isn't my main
email address, but I use it to receive service messages from the ISP.
IMAP inconveniences my ISP as that would prefer I use their vile Webmail interface and see ads. Whenever I am forced to use their Webmail
interface, a Youtube video demonstrating some stupid feature dominates
the screen and I have to figure out how to dismiss it.
Funny how this isn't an IMAP feature.
To defeat me, the ISP temporarily blacklists the IP address I use with
IMAP, which is foreign to the ISP's network.
Whenever I speak to the help desk, they deny they are doing this, but
that person is almost never familiar with the wonders of IMAP.
If I were to create a log and extract certain lines from the log, what
lines should I search for to extract and forward to the ISP on the off
chance I ever find anyone willing to be helpful?

How does that work with a blacklisted IP address?
