Hello,
I'm new in Dovecot and am having troubles making it working. I'm trying using Outlook and Apple's Mail as the mail clients. Outlook says it can't establish a secured connection to the server (for the IMAP protocol). I'm guessing sending e-mails works but I can't check.
This is my current configuration (using dovecot -n):
# 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab116.1 x86_64 Debian 8.6 mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } passdb { driver = pam } protocols = " imap" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } ssl = no ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mail.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mail.key userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { driver = passwd }
I find abnormal I'm seeing "ssl = no" in this configuration despite the fact that I have "ssl = required" in the /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf file, but I'm new to this...
I have looked around the web; finally, I'm asking here, hoping it's the correct place to ask.
