OK, I now have imaps running in xinetd. imap is not running. In order to accomplish this, I edited the /etc/xinetd.d/imap file as follows: under "service imap" I changed the first line to read disable=yes Then I added the following: ----------- # # impas - SSL encrypted imap mail daemon service imaps { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/imapd server_args = -s flags = IPv4 } ------------- After restarting xinetd the imaps service is now running and the imap service is not. It appears to be listening on port 993. Regarding the previous certificates I issued, I deleted the two that had imapdxxx.yyy.xxx.yyy.pem. I then re-issued one for imapd.pem. Unfortunately still now when I try to connect, I still get an error. Perhaps I'm using the wrong user names. In the email (imap) client, I use only my user name and password as I would on my linux machine. Is this correct? Getting closer....

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
This may cause problems. I believe imapd.pem is sufficient. I remember trying the -IP, etc., and decide.> d by trial and errror imapd is best.
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 does matter, as 143 is imap protocol (no ssl), 993 is imaps (imap secure) protocol, which uses ssl. This should be running if you added and enabled imaps in /etc/xinetd/imap, and if it is running it will be using 993.
It seems to be listenting on 143 and not 993, why I don't know.
Are you sure it is enabled. Check Yast, Network services, Network services (inetd). Remember, imaps was not there originally, it had to be added. If it is indeed enabled, it will be listening on 993. If you can not connect, I would think your firewall is blocking 993.
