Hi List!
Had a questions about imap vs. imaps.
I read the ssl article at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL and from what I am reading, imaps is no longer needed as imap with initiate SSL/TLS on its own if STARTTLS is started and I have disable_plaintext_auth=yes and ssl=required settings.
I do have SSL up and working, and can connect using imap (143) to my server without issue, but was not able to connect using imaps (993) using Kmail as my client.
I Was getting a client error stating that the authentication failed using my password. However, there was nothing in the mail.err or mail.log file even when I enable debugging.
If I specify imaps as my only protocol, then dovecot fails to even start without any error loging at all.
As I stated, imap works just fine.
So, is imaps deprecated as mentioned in the article and imaps no longer needed?
I am running Dovecot 2.0.13 on an Ubuntu 11.10 64bit server. This server is simply an imap serer and not a MTA (No postfix or sendmail installed.)
Thanks! Joe
