Well do you have /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny set up on your dovecot server? Logs are important for this case: probably in either /var/log/secure or /var/log/messages (depends on

1. On the dovecot server, what does it say on the log file? Are there any errors? If you've set up with TCP wrappers support, then it would

where authpriv.* is directed to) for any tcp wrapper rejection. 2. On the squirrelmail web server, what is the result of the apache error_log (or php log file if you have it separately)? Have you tried doing a 'telnet <dovecot ip address> 993'? You should not get a 'connection refused'.

And you might want to look at Alan's suggestion on the support of imaps on the PHP. Best done by creating a file called info.php with the following: <?php

    phpinfo();

?>

Access it through your browser or run it through 'php info.php'.

Then look for the section on imap. It should have something like: SSL Support => enabled

Only two things I can think of: that it supports imaps.

1. Dovecot was not configured for imap with ssl (check that ssl_disable is not set to yes). Also check the protocols statement

2. Check that you do not have access lists blocking off 993 to your squirrelmail. This is often encountered if using tcp wrappers and you're running dovecot through (x)inetd.

Regards, Neil

The ssl_disable is set to no and the protocols statement contains all the four protocols: imap pop3 imaps pop3s.

But i couldn't make out the 2nd point, you suggested.Can you, please, describe it a little more ? Srinivas
