You need to find out before you proceed with anything else!  If
Outlook works and other clients don't, then it makes sense to post to
their mailing lists as you say.  But if it's not the clients, you
would only be wasting time and spamming people by doing so!

You should check the logs server-side and/or check netstat on both the
server and the client while downloading messages.  Then you would know
for sure.

Also, you don't even need anything listening on port 110 while you
test this.

So far I find it more likely that it's an stunnel (setup) problem.
