[Dovecot] can not connect to dovecot using ssl

I can connect using imap, but when I try using ssl (imaps) I get a can not connect to server error.

I have in my dovecot.conf protocols = imaps imap imap_listen = * imaps_listen = *

I DO get a connection when I telnet to port 993 of my server (both localhost and remote work).

Any help much appreciated..
