I've probably done something dumb, but a quick search on Google, etc has turned up nothing I recognized as useful. I just installed dovecot on an OpenBSD 3.9 box. It is working fine with secure POP3 (after changing the config file to "mbox_write_locks = fcntl").
I also selected secure IMAP as a protocol, but it is proving to be more resistant to working. I am trying to connect to dovecot using Outlook as a client (sigh). Outlook's error messages are to the effect that it is unable to connect to the server. Looking in /var/log/maillog indicates that a connection was not even attempted!
I've configured the client to use SSL (port 993), and tried diddling with some of the other parameters to no avail. I also tried to connect using the Thunderbird IMAP client with similar results.
I've obviously missed something in my dovecot setup, but just don't see it... can anyone offer a clue?
Thnx, Jay
