    Default Empty Startup Greeting

    Hi there!

    Whilst I was trying to install the new version of Roundcube, I ran into this error message while Roundcube is trying to connect to my mailserver (Debian/Dovecot).

    Code:
    roundcube: [11-Aug-2009 19:23:07 +0200]: IMAP Error: Empty startup greeting (xx.xx.xx.xx:993) (POST /roundcube/?_task=&_action=login)
    Since the message came from Roundcube, I made the assumption that apparently Roundcube wants/forces me to have an actual startup greeting @ my mailserver

    I don't like the idea of having an startup greeting defined within my mailserver. Is this really mandatory or can this check be skipped in some way?

    Default Silly me!

    Silly me

    After rechecking config files I found out that I forget to add the 'ssl' in the 'default host' setting (a.k.a 'xx.xx.xx.xx' in stead of 'ssl://xx.xx.xx.xx' )

    Doesn't explain the error message to me, but it did the trick!

    OK, I am getting this error message with release 0.3-stable. Any ideas? I've checked my config over a bunch of times and all the settings are correct. The above solution did not work for my installation.

    Humanator, have you tried using another e-mailclient (Thunderbird/Evolution/Outlook) ? Does that work? Are you using SSL/TLS?

    Yep, my desktop email client still connects to the mail server just fine.

    and you do have an secure connection? (SSL/TLS?) Or do you 'just' connect to port 143?

    well my desktop client usually connects via SSL, and I just noticed that it uses port 993 rather than 465, so now it is connecting to IMAP properly.

    Still seem to be having problems connecting to the SMPT server though. I get this error:

    Code:
    SMTP send:  NOT OK(Failed to add recipient 'xxxxx@xxxxxx.com')

    Oddly, even though the installer says that it isn't sending the test SMTP email properly sending an email from within RC itself still works fine.

    I posted this over in the SVN thread but that is not correct - im using the newest 1.3 release.

    Im getting the same error - im not using SSL on anything and I know my login credentials are correct. The client sitting on my mailserver is connecting without a problem, when I telnet to 192.168.0.102 143 im greeted with the IMAP prompt


    The full error from the roundcube /logs directory is:
    Code:
    [20-Sep-2009 01:44:56 -0400]: IMAP Error: Empty startup greeting (192.168.0.102:143) (POST /roundcubemail/?_task=&_action=login)
    I am runninng PHP: 5.2.6-3

    I've checked out my config file and im still not sure where else to look - everything looks correct to me, any help would be appreciated!!

    take a look at this Changeset 2972 ? Roundcube Webmail, does the latest SVN slove the problem?
    Roundcube Patches: Sieverules, SpamAssassin Prefs, and more…
