You are telling Eudora to use port 993? Which is imaps. It has been awhile but go to the Eudora documentation on the web site and it will tell you how to add imaps.... It doesn't do it in the regular set up, if I remember correctly.

I have OpenSSL, imapd installed and configured properly, I believe. I followed the SSL instructions to create a self-signed cert in /etc/ssl/certs, and enabled service imaps in /etc/xinetd.d/imap. Eudora is (now) configured for SSL, according to recommendations I found at the eudora site and UW. Whenever Eudora starts and attempts to check mail, it reports, "The IMAP command has failed. Reason: IMAP connection to server 192.168.1.6 has been broken." /var/log/mail has the following: Aug 21 21:29:40 jlc imapd[12159]: imaps SSL service init from 192.168.1.56 Aug 21 21:29:41 jlc imapd[12089]: Command stream end of file, while reading line user=??? host=[192.168.1.56] Aug 21 21:29:41 jlc imapd[12160]: imaps SSL service init from 192.168.1.56 Aug 21 21:29:41 jlc imapd[12159]: Command stream end of file, while reading line user=??? host=[192.168.1.56] Aug 21 21:29:44 jlc imapd[12160]: Command stream end of file, while reading line user=??? host=[192.168.1.56] Aug 21 21:29:50 jlc imapd[12161]: imaps SSL service init from 192.168.1.56 I seem to recall this sort of problem being discussed, but cannot find any threads that are relevant to this particular problem. One thread at Univ. of Washington talked about the "stream end of file" problem, but the solution proposed there made no difference with my situation. The error messages on each side don't give enough information to understand what's happening. Is there anything I can set in a config file to increase the information?
