When I try to log in to my mail server (ubuntu 20.04, Postfix 3.4.13, Dovecot 2.3.7.2) I get a response saying "Source stream returned no data”. At least to me, that's not particularly informative. Is it any more informative to anyone else?
The last time I hit that, I'm pretty sure it was because I was going to port 80 instead of port 443 to reach Roundcube.
I'm using port 143 for receiving and 587 for sending; I didn't think 443 was for email. Am I mistaken? (Not at all unlikely!)
Nono, for your web browser's connection to Roundcube. I could be barking up the wrong tree here, but I'm pretty sure that's the error I hit.
Thanks for the clarification. I just tried Roundcube again, and got the error "Connection to storage server failed." I also checked the nginx script for Roundcube and commented out the references to port 80, then restarted nginx. Same error. So I tend to think it's a server issue, not a client issue. Does that make any sense?
It makes sense, but that's a different error than the one you got having to do with either its connection to Dovecot or possibly a back-end database server. (MySQL?)
MariaDB. Now it's time for me to clarify. The "source stream returned no data" error is in Evolution; the "connection to storage server failed" is in Roundcube. So I'm seeing similar errors in two different email clients trying to get to the same server.
I know there are any number of reasons for a failed connection to Dovecot, but I just don't have the experience to figure this one out.
