Before I continue, I have looked at tons of posts online about saying that the protocols are not setup, and have tried what they have offered, but all of them do not help, and don't seem to resolve the issue. I am having some issues, with setting up dovecot. I have been following this guide: http://www.krizna.com/ubuntu/setup-mail-server-ubuntu-14-04/ to setup a mail server, and it was all working. Postfix is installed and configured correctly. As I was doing the Dovecot installation, it asked me about using telnet to connect and verify the connections were working (in the guide) and whether ports: **110,995,993,143** work. But only ports **995** and **993** allow me to connect, but they do not show any kind of: '+OK Dovecot (Ubuntu) ready.' on them. I see this in /var/log/mail.log: Jun 26 09:05:07 master: Info: Dovecot v2.2.9 starting up (core dumps disabled) Jun 26 09:05:07 config: Warning: service auth { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (6000) Jun 26 09:05:07 config: Warning: service anvil { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (6003) Even when I connect to the **993** and **995** ports. When I try the other ones, I just get: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused The process is running, and I can't see no errors. This is the output of **dovecot -n** # 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Warning: service auth { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (6000) doveconf: Warning: service anvil { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (6003) # OS: Linux 3.14.32-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64 x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS auth_mechanisms = plain login default_process_limit = 2000 first_valid_uid = 0 imap_idle_notify_interval = 4 mins listen = * :: log_path = /var/log/mail.log mail_access_groups = spampd mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_privileged_group = mail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Archive { auto = subscribe special_use = \Archive } mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox INBOX { auto = subscribe } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { antispam_allow_append_to_spam = yes antispam_backend = pipe antispam_pipe_program = /bin/bash antispam_pipe_program_notspam_args = /usr/local/bin/sa-learn-pipe.sh;--ham antispam_pipe_program_spam_args = /usr/local/bin/sa-learn-pipe.sh;--spam antispam_spam_pattern_ignorecase = SPAM antispam_trash_pattern_ignorecase = trash;Deleted * fts = lucene fts_lucene = whitespace_chars=@. sieve = /home/user-data/mail/sieve/%d/%n.sieve sieve_after = /home/user-data/mail/sieve/global_after sieve_before = /etc/dovecot/sieve-spam.sieve sieve_before2 = /home/user-data/mail/sieve/global_before sieve_dir = /home/user-data/mail/sieve/%d/%n } postmaster_address = postmaster@mail.dannysmc.com protocols = imap pop3 imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 10026 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } } ssl = required ssl_cert =
