Hi,
The link is slow (about 14/0.4),
I reckon IMAP is probably killing the upload as it tries to reconcile the folders. The reason it is fine outside the home that that pretty much ANY other network she connects to is going to have a better upload then that. Plug a USB dongle into the HAP and unplug the DSL, and see if the problem goes away when more bandwidth is available.

I personally have never had an issue with it. The current one is an hAP ac^3 running 6.47.10 with plenty of free RAM and disk space and virtually zero CPU usage. However one of my "users", running Thunderbird on Windows, has an ongoing problem using IMAP. When she sends an email, the email is not saved to the (IMAP) "Sent" folder. If she saves a draft, it fails to save to the (IMAP) "Drafts" folder. In both cases the failure comes after a long wait, indicating IMHO a network problem. This does not happen all the time, but often enough (well more than half the time) to be extremely frustrating. We can discern no commonality between the affected messages - large, small, addressees, attachments etc. Sometimes if she disconnects from the network and then reconnects, the message will work the second time around, but IMHO this is just blind luck. The thing is, this does NOT happen when she is using the same computer outside our home - on a public network, her phone's hotspot or whatever. Only at home. I have excluded wifi as the problem; she gets the same issue on a wired connection. I have set up my own IMAP connection (though not as yet with Thunderbird) and cannot replicate the problem. She and I use the same local network, the same email provider and the same connectivity provider (ADSL from iiNet). The link is slow (about 14/0.4), but has been dependable and as I say, I do not have any problem other than with speed. This has been going on for probably about two years now, getting steadily worse, to the point where she now leaves the house to work (which is a big deal, as it's a 40-minute round trip to a suitable location). I'm at a bit of a loss as to what it might be, and am asking here to see if anyone has a router-related clue. Or any ideas as to how I might go about troubleshooting this.
