You are confused by the 2 different meanings of the acronym TLS here: * In the SSL / OpenSSL context TLS is for the reimplemented SSL protocol with the name TLS * In the IMAP environment the meaning of the acronym TLS is: Inside of an existing IMAP connection an TLS (the protocol) session is started with the STARTTLS command. > So, it seems eveything works fine, now try to connect with thunderbird > with a fresh new profile : > But if I switch to TLS on port 143, after a while (about 2 or 3 minutes): > > ==> err.log <== > Jul 5 14:11:05 smtp imap[27757]: Fatal error: tls_start_servertls() failed That is because your server speaks SSL encapsulated IMAP on the port Thunderbird expects IMAP with STARTTLS...
