Hi team,

I have things up and running for the most part. I have 2 questions…
1; Am I not supposed to be able to ping the servers I add? I can access the web sites no problem, but pinging any domain / subdomain does not work.
2; I cannot seem to configure IMAP with Thunderbird. I tried auto detect settings and the usual settings you’d expect, but none worked. My mail log consists of things like:

Dec 7 09:21:44 DOMAINNAME dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection closed (auth failed, 1 attempts in 4 secs): user=USER@DOMAIN.tld, method=PLAIN, rip=IP ADDRESS, lip=HOST IP ADDRESS, TLS, session=

I find with Tbird you must use the settings as described


where the IMAP server hostname is mail.domain.tld

Thank you for the reply Stegan. It is working now.
