IMAP Connection Refused

Discussion in 'Email' started by skrile, Nov 9, 2013.

  1. Having a lot of trouble using IMAP with my account with Outlook or iPhone. It's been breaking a lot lately (unable to connect). I'm not changing anything about my (previously) working credentials or setup. Anyone else having trouble getting their IMAP account working?

    My domain is: bluerailsolutions.com
     
  2. Just as an aside, if I try to create a POP account everything is fine.
     
  3. try doing the following 2 telnet tests from the machine you are having the IMAP issue from:

    telnet mail.bluerailsolutions.com 110
    telnet mail.bluerailsolutions.com 143

    Do you receive a response from the mail server after you try to execute both commands?

    If the telnet test over port 143 fails then this explains why your connection is failing, something in your network or ISP is blocking the port for IMAP.
