Dovecot is not reading connections from iOS devices correctly. Any ideas?

If possible, manually configure the SSL style (TLS/STARTTLS) and port rather than letting it guess. To diagnose whether it is some dovecot config error, you can manually connect with both flavours of SSL openssl s_client -connect 192.168.0.15:993 ... or ... openssl s_client -starttls imap -connect 192.168.0.15:143 then if it gets past the SSL handshake, a login <user> <password> to test the authentication part. This will at least tell you whether it's a client side or server side issue. (However, since it is working with other client, it's probably a client side issue.) Joseph Tam <jtam.home at gmail.com>
