Revision history [back]

I just got my Jolla a few days ago and updated it immediately to 1.1.2.16. Right now, I'm trying to configure the phone to my gusto.

One of the things I cannot get to work is the mail app. I have my own mail server running Dovecot and I use IMAP on my internal network. I have mutt installed on the Jolla as well, and mutt connects to the server without any problems, so the connection to the server and the server itself work well. The server works also with my N900 and all other workstations.

However, when I try to add a suitable account to the mail app, all I get is either "connection timed out" or "problem with configuration". I can see that the Jolla connects to dovecot in the server logs, but that's it. I am using a self-signed certificate in Dovecot, but I have disabled SSL/TLS in the mail app and enabled "Accept unauthorised certificates" - to no avail.

What's even worse: Whenever I get one of the error messages, I have to restart mail app to try again - simply changing entries in the account does not get mail app to actually try again. It just says "verifying...", then "timed out" without even sending any packages to the server (verified with tcpdump both on the Jolla and on the server).

So far, I've tried all combinations I could think of (with/without SSL/TLS, with/without unauthorised certs enabled, with server name and with plain IP), but nothing I do gets this account working.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions to get this resolved.
