I'm testing 1.0 beta3 on our mail server, and finding that Apple Mail seems unable to connect to it.

I'm running the 1.0b3 on port 997 so we can test it in parallel to 0.91 to compare performance (so far, it's hella faster). I've ensured that the users testing are _not_ connecting in any way to the 0.91 version running on port 993.

From the OS X client side (10.4.5 + latest patches), Apple Mail simply sits there and spins, and eventually times out. The error it gives is:

Alert

There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "UCSD" or try again.

The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "csefast.ucsd.edu" on port 0 timed out.

I'm thinking, "port 0, WTF?" ...

On the server, I get this out of the logs:

Mar 2 11:54:48 csefast dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Inactivity: rip=<client_ip_address>, lip=<server_ip_address>, TLS Mar 2 11:54:48 csefast dovecot: imap-login: SSL_accept() syscall failed: EOF [<client_ip_address>]

Apple Mail is configured to connect to port 997 and has "Use SSL" checked. I'm not getting anything else useful out of the Mac in terms of debugging info.

Thunderbird seems to be working fine (all platforms).

The configuration file in use is:

protocols = imaps ssl_cert_file = /usr/share/ssl/certs/<servername>_cert.pem ssl_key_file = /usr/share/ssl/private/<servername>_key.pem login_greeting = Dovecot ready. max_mail_processes = 2048 verbose_proctitle = yes verbose_ssl = yes first_valid_uid = 100 mail_debug = yes default_mail_env = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_full_filesystem_access = yes mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl mbox_very_dirty_syncs = no protocol imap { ssl_listen = *:997 login_greeting_capability = yes } protocol pop3 { } auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { args = session=yes dovecot } userdb passwd { } user = root }

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gregory
