Problem connecting to an imap account with Dovecot
Hello,
I have several accounts on my server. I can’t connect to one of them using Apple mail on Mac or IOS to create my account or read my mail in these applications. I can send mails to this address and read them with my Horde webmail. I have these messages in the log :

I have :
Plesk 12 Ubuntu 14.04.2 Dovecot 2.2.12
You can see my configuration file here : http://pastie.org/10059309
What should I do ?
Thank you

Login from localhost (rip=::1), probably using horde webmail

Logout from localhost, same same. rcvd and sent data are larger than zero, seems to work fine.

Unrelated to dovecot, but your server seems to have other issues too.
There are no log lines from dovecot that tell us about connections from remote (i.e. non localhost) hosts. If you can't connect using an external client, maybe your firewall is still closed, or dovecot is only listening on localhost?
You should start here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation and tell where you got stuck (and include the details of the steps you managed to complete).

No obvious stuff in there other than the qmail references (despite
having postfix running too), but please post dovecot -n output
directly in your mail, next time. Thank you ;)
What should I do ?

Thank you. Doing the tests explained in the wiki, I’ve finally discovered that there was a bad configuration in my DNS, and that the mail server was pointing at a wrong IP. Now everything is fine.
Sorry for the external link to the config file. I’m used to forums and I was thinking that adding the config file content in the mail would be too long :)
Best regards
