yay! all works fine now!

The last 3 hours was to find out the actual email setup that I changed to suit the old setup.

So here's what happened (the one that fixed of course):

• mail folder location was changed from its original setting to the one that I wanted
• it turned out that a server-side mail filtering was set during the operating system re-installation, and it still pointed to the original location
• DNS expired and the firewall had missed its part to open up that port
• Checking mail remotely also had its access closed from the firewall

The built in mail filter (also spam and virus filter) rocks! I bow to the open-source community to make this happen.

So with this new reinstallation, the task to re-filter email in order to be classified as spam is no longer that much (until further release update)

Have a great day everyone!
