Question
Error "Connection to IMAP server failed" with VirtualMin
Hi all,
I installed VirtualMin on a VPS running Ubuntu. Then I installed RoundCube using script on VirtualMin.
I created a new one Email account (Edit Users -> Add a user to this server) and enabled IMAP client (Enable mail client autoconfiguration? = Yes).
But when I log into email accounts with RoundCube the error: "Connection to IMAP server failed". I've used Thunderbird but it also connects error.
How fix it? Please help me.
Thanks,
Thanh

Try to “Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Server” section clicking on “Networking and Protocols” and on the right switch off the “Accept SSL connections?”
i don’t know how much unsecure this is but for me it worked.
Mannnnnnnnnnnnn
I had this problem for over a month. Would try to find solutions every now and then. And after a more than a month it gets solved by this advice.
I am so happy that I too don’t care if its insecure. At least I am a step further.
Now am getting a another error while sending an email:-
“SMTP Error (-1): Connection to server failed.”
Hope not another month goes by now........
Solved the error in the Postfix too by learning how to configure postfix.cf by watching this video:-

Before installing SSL all my emails sent to Google had a “Open Red Lock Shaped Icon” warning with them.
After installing an SSL certificate and following your advice all my emails are clean.
Now I have a my own mass mailing server with no restrictions at all.
Thanks @Pantcho
