hello again. Yes I did quit the list, but signed back up because I found the
issue and did not want to leave the issue hanging.
This took me forever to figure out, but setting up IMAP on port 993 with
TLS/SSL will continually drop the connection, if it ever connects in the first
place. DH (Dreamhost) uses STARTTLS, and setting the port to 993 forces the
client to start connecting in encrypted mode. So to begin a connection one
needs to choose port 143 instead. That will instigate a negotiation through to
STARTTLS, as the DH wiki notes. The DH main email documentation says that the
correct setting is 993. That setting will FAIL . For email to connect the
correct setting is incoming IMAP on port 143 with Use TLS/SSL checked.
Just FYI.
Thanks again for all the help.
Tracy
