[Dovecot] IMAPS works, IMAP does not
Hello! I have a simple (I think) problem. I have had IMAPS working fine for a long time. Now I want to start to use IMAP and STARTLS, since my mobile SonyEricsson P900 can't use IMAPS directly. But I can't connect even locally to the IMAP port (143), no-one listens there according to netstat (*.imaps is in LISTEN state). I have the following settings in my /etc/dovecot.conf:
protocols = imap imaps ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/dovecotcert.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem disable_plaintext_auth = no login_user = _dovecot login_greeting = Dovecot@casiopea ready. mail_read_mmaped = yes mmap_no_write = no protocol imap { login_greeting_capability = yes } protocol pop3 { } auth_verbose = yes auth default { mechanisms = cram-md5 digest-md5 passdb passwd { } userdb passwd { } user = root }
I have restarted (SIGTERM) dovecot to be sure that dovecot is restarted. I still run 1.0beta3 on OpenBSD.
TIA, Peter

The only important settings are protocols and listen settings. Since you have "imap" in protocols and no "listen" setting at all, it really should work without any other settings.. You could try setting listen = 12345 inside protocol imap to see if it listens then in a different port.
