Hmmm, I tried ssl = yes. Mail.app still crashes when trying to connect.
Well, its likely an Apple fault, after all their implementation of pop3 has been known to be broken for many many many years, but still after all these years are incapable of finding a developer to fix it by inserting a QUIT after its done everything.
Since we just ruled this one out, might I suggest you grab the source and build it, install it all under /opt/dovecot that way it wont interfere with your ports installation and try that, the one you successfully just tested uses dovecot 2.1 not 2.2, so maybe try source of 2.1 and see if it works.
I just tried 2.1.16. The iPhone has no trouble on 143 but on 993, it's just like 2.2
But, if it does work on port 143 with TLS I wouldnt worry too much about it
tcpdump is showing me raw text going past, so I know I'm not getting TLS on either Dovecot 2.1 or 2.2
It seems that TLS is not supported by my client. Pity.
I thank you for your help though. We have a workaround, which is good enough for my particular situation: self-signed certificates. However, that solution is not ideal for most people. It is for that reason that I'm willing to keep hacking at this if others have further ideas / suggestions.
