Error "Connection to IMAP server failed" with VirtualMin

Posted on September 7, 2013

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.

Hi, <br> <br>Can you describe it more clearly is not? How can I check it? <br>In the Webmin menu is “Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Server” and “Postfix Mail Server”. <br> <br>Thanks, <br>Thanh
