Ugh. I'm generally happy with roaming on #GoogleFi, but its German MVNO partner is blocking port 995, so I can't access my mail server, and tech support is like, "If you want to report a mail problem, you must initiate a chat request from that email address." I'm stuck in circles - obviously I can't login to the Google Fi app with a non-Google address, and this isn't an email problem, it's a connectivity problem. ALL outbounds on 995 are blocked, not just to my server.
