Yes, except Linux is case sensitive, so it would be Mail. ~<username>/Mail/ is the same (sorry I missed a slash and added one in the wrong place.) That is the setup on the IMAP account I have in my client. That way I can go into any users account in our server via imap just by changing the username, username element of the path, and password (usually to delete or forward email). |I did revise the client settings to reflect the change to port 993 and using |SSL, but not StartTLS. That should be correct. |Regarding the certs, keep in mind that I have postfix running on host.local. As far as imapd is concerned, postfix is not part of the equation. |I set up a host name to listen on this comuters local IP address. That is why I |originally issued 2 different certs, one for the domain.com name, and another |for the local (internal) IP address. But, as stated earlier I deleted both |and re-issued one for imapd.pem. Still not connecting. What are you putting in as the server name. Unless you run a local DNS, I would suggest just using the IP, i.e. 192.168.1.1 |When I had imap running, I could telnet to it at port 143 and get a reply. Now |that imaps is running when I telnet to port 993 I get only a blinking cursor. |If I press any key, it exits back to the local telnet prompt, no visible |reply from imapd. What happens if you ssh? My guess is telnet does not use ssl and therefore will not work. I don't really know, as I just use a mail client. It will ask you to accept the certificate (because it is self-signed and not automatically trusted, i.e. not issued by a known and trusted Certificate Authority), which since I trust it I accept it permanently. It will then work without asking again.
