Hello,
Irrespective of which mail server that I try to connect to, I get a response like this:-
{mail.domain.com:110/pop3}INBOX; user@domain.com; password]
14:32:26 [Error: Connection failed to mail.domain.com,110: Connection refused]
The settings and passwords are definitely correct, as they work in everything else (e.g. Outlook), so I wonder whether it is my PHP environment that is disabling the connection for security reasons. Unfortunately, I can't get anything except the above from the log. I have tried your test domain (from one of the posts in the forum) and it didn't work either.
Perhaps I need a new PHP environment? The trouble is getting a free host who allow the IMAP module that is required, if I understand the issue correctly. The webmail service that I want to run is for a voluntary society, so I don't want to spend their money on paid hosting. At the moment we have the backing of a university, but I'm afraid their security measures seem to be quite draconian.
If there is anything that I haven't set up properly, please let me know.
Many thanks in advance. I'm very impressed with the free software as far as I've seen it working and from the feedback I've read, having tried three others which I simply could not set up at all. The lack of language support in the free version is understandable, if rather regrettable to me personally. Thanks again for your hard work, though: this seems like excellent software.

This error usually means the firewall on the web server (or uplink gateway) where MailBee WebMail PHP is installed blocks all outbound connections.
You will be unable to use the software until someone has enabled outbound connections to ports 110 and 25 on the web server.
Regards,
Alex

Dear Alex,
Thanks for your extremely prompt reply. I had thought it might be something of this kind. Unfortunately, there is no chance of getting the ports unblocked.
Consequently I've been looking for free web hosts that allow php scripting, preferably without ads. I found some, but there's no way to know if they have the IMAP, ICONV and DOM modules necessary until it fails, owing to the lack of documentation before signup. This has happened several times already.
However, I'm determined to get it working somehow.
Thanks again. Best wishes,
Talat
