Error connecting to IMAP server: mail.mydomain.com. 111 : Connection refused

I get Error connecting to IMAP server: mail.mydomain.com. 111 : Connection refused when logging to my mail server through Squirrelmail

I made mail server setup using this tutorial

Any idea what could it be ?

1 Answer

on the server try to telnet to port 143, if it doesnt work then you email service isnt listening on that port/or started. If you can telnet check for firewalls that could be blocking it.

/var/log/mail.log is a good source of errors too :)
