[Dovecot] error while connecting from squirrelmail

[Neil Quiogue]

Only two things I can think of:
1. Dovecot was not configured for imap with ssl (check that
ssl_disable is not set to yes).  Also check the protocols statement
that it supports imaps.

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.

When i disable "Secure Imap (TLS)" option (2-A-7) from squirrelmail configure menu, it's working fine. But when i try to enable tls support, squirrelmail is giving the following error:
> 
> Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to 192.xx.xx.xx:993 in

> imap_listen 143
> pop3_listen 110

> imaps_listen 993
> pop3s_listen 995

> Squirrelmail and the dovecot imap server are running on different machines, so it is essential to enable tls support. All the machines are running Debian Sarge.
