I have installed Webmin on a droplet, and imported my old cPanel account from my old server. Pretty much everything is fine, but i’m having problems with IMAP.
Basically, the whole mailbox imported fine, and I can access it all via the webmail with no real issue. Even STMP works fine.
But for some reason, i cannot get IMAP to work.
If i point it to the same name as STMP (mail.mydomain.com), i get a generic “could not connect to the IMAP server” error. If i set it to the hostname of the server (web-1.mydomain.com) on port 993, I get “Trying to log into this IMAP account failed. Verify the user/pass are correct.”
They are definitely correct, as I checked the username in webmin, and I reset the password to be sure.
Any ideas?

Yes, those error messages are (rougly copied) from OSX’s Mail.app. <br> <br>I’m considering giving up with Virtualmin and setting these things up from scratch though. If i restore my snapshot and try again, i’ll check this.
Are those error messages from your local mail client? What are you using? <br> <br>The first thing I’d check is whether port 993 is actually accessible. Are you doing any firewalling? What’s the output of running <code>netstat -plunt</code> on the server?
Yes, that’s what I originally tried, and that doesn’t work either.
