I have installed Roundcube on local machine and it works fine, but with same configuration, it is not working on server. It's giving an "Connection to IMAP Server failed" error.

$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'ssl://imap.gmail.com:993';

Log:

> [17-Jan-2011 03:05:06 +0400]: IMAP

I'm wondering - why is it trying on port 143, when port #993 is written in config.

You have to set the configurations as follows

$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'ssl://imap.gmail.com';
$rcmail_config['default_port'] = '993';

it should work , if not check with the below commands whether it is possible to connect to the sever through commands as shown below:

  1. ping imap.gmail.com
  2. telnet imap.gmail.com 993 [for Windows] or telnet imap.gmail.com:993 [for UNIX]

If you are able to get the successful output. you will be able to connect to the IMAP Gmail server via Roundcube.

Port 993 is default for ssl://. the problem is with your server as sometime due to limited memmory by hosting provider they can't connect to gmail. I had a similar situation. I could connect to other mail server from my hosting server but not gmail. Then i switched hosting to other company and same code worked.
