I just learning dovecot and I am not sure if there is some sort of play like this for the dovecot imap to work. I am still learning how it works. But at least, I know that inside the server it is working fine because Evolution does not have any problem. The problem is in the communication between an external client and the server. I already changed the client and the server, therefore whatever problem is left should be on the link connecting them both. > Alexander > > P.S.
