Cannot log into one IMAP server
« on: April 16, 2007, 01:04:08 PM »
I installed Roundcube for one address I use a while ago, and I have since decided to also use it for my regular mail as my ISP's webmail is not as good as Roundcube.

However for some reason I can not log onto the ISP's server using Roundcube, even though I have successfully managed to retrieve mail from this server with various clients on various networks.

In the error log it is reported that the IMAP connection is timing out... can anything be done to increase the time to wait for the server to respond, if indeed that is the problem?

Example error in logs/errors:
Code: [Select]
IMAP Error: Could not connect to imap.x.net at port 143: Connection timed out in on line 0
If I telnet the server on port 143 this appears:
Code: [Select]
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES
 SORT QUOTA ACL ACL2=UNION] Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2004 Double Precision,
 Inc. See COPYING for distribution information.
Although not knowing IMAP I haven't tested further this way, but like I say numerous clients (including Thunderbird, Outlook, Evolution, a Sony Ericsson K800i) can all connect and retrieve.

Any ideas?
