Hello,
I'm new in Dovecot and am having troubles making it working. I'm trying using
Outlook and Apple's Mail as the mail clients. Outlook says it can't establish a
secured connection to the server (for the IMAP protocol). I'm guessing sending
e-mails works but I can't check.
This is my current configuration (using dovecot -n):
# 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab116.1 x86_64 Debian 8.6
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
namespace inbox {
inbox = yes
location =
mailbox Drafts {
special_use = \Drafts
}
mailbox Junk {
special_use = \Junk
}
mailbox Sent {
special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox "Sent Messages" {
special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox Trash {
special_use = \Trash
}
prefix =
}
passdb {
driver = pam
}
passdb {
driver = pam
}
protocols = " imap"
service auth {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
group = postfix
mode = 0666
user = postfix
}
}
service imap-login {
inet_listener imaps {
port = 993
ssl = yes
}
}
ssl = no
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mail.crt
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mail.key
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
I find abnormal I'm seeing "ssl = no" in this configuration despite the fact that I have
"ssl = required" in the /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf file, but I'm new to this...
I have looked around the web; finally, I'm asking here, hoping it's the correct
place to ask.
