Can't connect to mail.messagingengine.com at port 143
« on: August 02, 2006, 08:43:16 AM »
Hi folks,

I'm attempting a clean install of Roundcube on my byethost domain.

I get the log-in screen okay (after renaming htaccess), but when I log-on, I get the message "Can't connect to mail.messagingengine.com at port 143".

I'm trying to connect to my Fastmail account. I've gone through the forums, double-checking the items I needed to change in main.inc.php and db.inc.php and all looks fine.

From db.inc.php, I've set:

$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://mark.avey:XXXXXXXX@localhost/XXX'; - (obviously not using the X's :)

In main.inc.php I have:

$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'mail.messagingengine.com'; (Have also tried ssl using port 993)

Anyone any ideas?

Someone has created a Roundcube log-in to Fastmail at eumx.net/cwm, so I know it's technically possible :)

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Have you checked the port number? Is it correct?

Hi,

Yes, 143 is the correct port. Using it in Thunderbird to connect okay.

Cheers,

Mark

IMAP Error: Could not connect to mail.simplistsims.co.uk at port 143: Connection timed out

Yep, that's the exact error.

Have just done a clean install of beta 2 and getting the same error.

Help!

Cheers,

Mark

I've never got it working, so you're one up on me :)

IMAP works fine through Fastmail's own web mail, but I just can't get it to work through Roundcube :'(
