Hi,

I've installed dovecot and i'm pretty sure it has SSL support built in.

But i don't have IMAPS.

I get all sort of errors. Thunderbird tells: "The connection was refused".

If i disable imaps, imap works just fine. If i enable it, none of them work.

The certificates in /etc/ssl/certs and /etc/ssl/private are the same ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards, Mário Gamito

SSL settings

IP or host address where to listen in for SSL connections. Defaults

to above if not specified.

ssl_listen = *:943

Disable SSL/TLS support.

#ssl_disable = no

PEM encoded X.509 SSL/TLS certificate and private key. They're opened

before

dropping root privileges, so keep the key file unreadable by anyone but

root. Included doc/mkcert.sh can be used to easily generate self-signed

certificate, just make sure to update the domains in dovecot-openssl.cnf

ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem

If key file is password protected, give the password here. Alternatively

give it when starting dovecot with -p parameter.

#ssl_key_password = theedge

File containing trusted SSL certificate authorities. Usually not needed.

The CAfile should contain the CA-certificate(s) followed by the matching

CRL(s). CRL checking is new in dovecot .rc1

#ssl_ca_file =

Request client to send a certificate.

#ssl_verify_client_cert = no

How often to regenerate the SSL parameters file. Generation is quite CPU

intensive operation. The value is in hours, 0 disables regeneration

entirely.

#ssl_parameters_regenerate = 168

SSL ciphers to use

#ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW

Show protocol level SSL errors.

#verbose_ssl = no

Login processes

Directory where authentication process places authentication UNIX sockets

which login needs to be able to connect to. The sockets are created when

running as root, so you don't have to worry about permissions. Note that

everything in this directory is deleted when Dovecot is started.

login_dir = /var/run/dovecot/login
