Hi. Someone is trying to configure their Outlook to use an email account created with iredadmin. The account works fine in roundcube. I've never used Outlook before, so I'm not very familiar with is.
Apparently you need to give it the servername, smtp port, and pop3 port. Which to use?
I'm guessing the servername is just the one I used when I installed iRedMail (e.g. mx.mydomain.com)
I did nmap on the VPS that's running the mailserver, and I see that
smtp is on port 25
pop is on port 110
pops is on port 995
He tried these ports, but said that outlook "Failed" (I'm not in the room with him, so I can't see exactly what he means). I looked at this http://www.iredmail.org/wiki/index.php? … dMail/FAQ.
So do I need to open port 389 on the VPS to get Outlook to work at all? Is there anything else I need to do serverside? Anything I should know about Outlook (I remember when setting up postfix+dovecot from scratch one time there were configs that needed to be set in order for Outlook to work, but I'm not sure what the iRedMail default configs are like, i.e. if they are Outlook-friendly, though I should learn).
Thanks for any help.
