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

Check Webmin to make sure you have an IMAP module installed.
