Ok that makes sense.
So would this be better?
// IMAP server
$servers['imap'] = array(
// ENABLED by default; will connect to IMAP port on local server
'disabled' => false,
'name' => 'Server',
'hostspec' => 'localhost',
'hordeauth' => full,
'protocol' => 'imap',
'port' => 993,
// Plaintext logins are disabled by default on IMAP servers (see
RFC 3501
// [6.2.3]), so TLS is the only guaranteed authentication available by
// default.
'secure' => 'ssl',
);
The only reason I am harping on about port 993 is that is all that
works. I've tried connecting via 143 TLS and it doesn't work - Something
obviously wrong with Postfix/Dovecot I believe or again more likely my
lack of knowledge.
I did read above that it was deprecated in favor of TLS on 143, but
without knowing how to set that up, i'm a little stuck.
