Connection to IMAP Server Failed during login

[networkguy09]

Version 0.9.4

Roundcube was working just fine for me until recently. The only changes I've made were to apply a comodo SSL cert to apache and reboot my server.

dovecot is running, IMAP appears to be working as I can telnet to port 143 and 993. Only weird thing though is I don't get a Dovecot ready OK message anymore

i'd say IMAP does not appear to be working because your IMAP server is not responding with the banner. have you looked in your dovecot logs to make sure everything is ok there?

Back working. I reverted the changes I made in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf back to default.

Forgot I had edited that file trying to follow a guide I had read somewhere. I've been trying to get IMAP to use my comodo cert instead of a self generated one because Thunderbird complains about that. Not even sure I can use that cert this way but thought it might be possible. In any case, Roundcube problem solved.

When I telnet to port 143 I get Dovecot ready OK message but not when trying port 993. Not sure if that's normal or not.
