Hi,
One of my users wants to read and write emails with his iPad. Receiving them is no problem, setup is a fairly standard dovecot imap-server with ssl. Sending gives problems though. I set up my server (postfix) to accept smtp via port 25, which works, but only locally as most providers here block outgoing port 25. I also set up my server to accept smtp with starttls on port 587 (submission). Unfortunately, the iPad seems not capable of sending via port 587 with starttls. I didn't see this myself, tomorrow I'll be able to have look. I googled but I didn't find something.
I know my server works because Thunderbird works for several users (even the laptop of the iPad-user). This mail is sent that way.
Any thoughts ? TIA.

Koenraad Lelong
I routinely used my iPhone for mail inbound and outbound to my opensuse machine from everywhere. I can't believe the iPad is less capable. In my case its postfix + Cyrus, but it should work the same. Using the standard iPhone mail client For SMTP I set USE SSL on, Authentication Password, server port 465. For Imap I set Use SSL on, Authentication Password, Server port 993. With these ports I never get blocked by any random hotel wifi. The only problem is that my certificates are self signed, but there is a setting in there to accept the cert forever. I forget exactly where this was located. Its been a while. Since I run IdelD on my mailserver, I use Push setting on mail for instant notification of new mail and that way I don't have a bunch of iphones and android devices poll for mail.
