connect to IMAP running on a different server than the server running RoundCube

[mobilenewman]

Is it even possible to use round cube running on my hosting companies server to check mail in an imap server running on my home machine?

I have set up roundcube on my hosting companies server at timmynewman.com/mail and my database checks out.  I can get to the login screen but it wont connect to my imap server running at newmanmail.doesntexist.com.

i can set up outlook to run with my home IMAP server just fine (from inside and outside my home network).


Is this possible or do i have to set up MySql, PHP, and apache on my home server?  Id rather not do that.  If its just a client like outlook why wont it connect?

any help or just an explanation would be appreciated,  thanks!
