993 is open, but for now I working on an internal IP net. imap seems to be listenting on 143, not 993.
Imap will listen on 143, imaps will listen on 993. Imap will look for plaintext password, Imaps will be using ssl encryption. The imap package by default (and as compiled by SuSE since 8.2) disables plaintext password (thus the login disabled message below), so since you have generated the ssl certificate, you should setup your client to use ssl and port 993 (should be automatic 993 if you configure it for imap with ssl support.
Im not sure how to configure imapd, other than recompile it, which I also don't know how to do. I can telnet to it at 143, but not 993. But on port 143 I cannot connect. When I issued the cert, I did not configure it to for a particular port.
This line is in /var/log/mail: Feb 26 21:45:53 jjfiii imapd[2440]: Login disabled user=bob auth=bob host=[192.xxx.xxx.xxx]
Must have been to port 143, which is effective disabled unless you recompile, or I believe 9.0 has another option (I still use 8.2) to enable plaintext password (check the docs).
This is where I attempted to log in via telnet from a local machine (192.xxx.xxx.xxx) to user "bob".
I set up two openssl certs. One for 192.xxx.xxx.xxx, and another for my IP domain, jjfiii.com. I cannot connect via either one.
I checked mine, and I have a imapd.pem and a ipop3d.pem. The name is significant for it to find the correct certificate. Not certain it is necessary, but try generating a certificate called imapd.pem. HTH.
There are 3 imapd.pem files. 1. imapd.pem (which was already there) 2. imapd-192.xxx.xxx.xxx.pem which I issued 3. imapd-jjfiii.com.pem also which I issued, as per the Suse web instructions At this point I'm not sure it matters which port I connect to (143 or 993), as long as the cert is working OK. It seems to be listenting on 143 and not 993, why I don't know. I beleive you did say you have it working, so that gives me hope. Thanks for the help. Jim Flanagan
