You should be able to configure the dovecot.conf file to remove imaps as 
one of the protocols.

e.g. like this line:

protocols = imap imaps

I understood that the OP wanted to have IMAPS listen on some port
other than 143..

Simon

that was lame.  i tried posting a snippet of the sample dovecot.conf 
file to show the part that the OP would want to change, and the mailer 
bounced it with:

<dovecot at dovecot.org>: permission denied. Command output: Don't
post
your whole
     dovecot.conf. Use dovecot -n instead.

Fooey...

IMAPS already listens on a port other than 143, port 993.

like this?

service imap-login {
	inet_listener imaps {
		port = 993
	}
}

please execute "doveconf" and have a look at all configuration - you
could learn a lot :)

Bye,

Hi.

Sorry for breaking this thread, but I just subscribed from a different address.

I made a mistake.

I didn't mean ?imaps? but ?imap2?


How can I configure dovecot not to listen for imap connections on port 143.

I want dovecot to listen only on port 993.
And ssl = required is already set. So this is not the right solution.

I just comemnted the whole inet_listener imap {...} section out. But this seems
to be some kind of default setting.
I tried to set:

inet_listener {
	address = none
}

I tried to leave the address variable blank. But no succes.

Good night
Lars
