I can connect using imap, but when I try using ssl (imaps) I get a can not connect to server error.

I have in my dovecot.conf protocols = imaps imap imap_listen = * imaps_listen = *

I DO get a connection when I telnet to port 993 of my server (both localhost and remote work).

Try connecting with eg. openssl and see if it gives any error messages.

openssl s_client -connect localhost:993

It most likely has something to do with your certificates.
