Resolved Dovecot - unable to connect to ssl://localhost:993 - With fresh updates?

F

New Pleskian
Hello :),
since yesterday evening my mail server (Dovecot) seems not to work properly anymore. I tried to log in via webmail.example.com and I get the message: "Connection to storage server failed". Also all my mailboxes in Thunderbird show "Connection refused".

My system specifications:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
Product: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.26

Thereupon I came across the following post describing my problem:

[FIXED BUG] Unable to log in to Roundcube webmail after upgrade to Plesk Onyx 17.8: Connection to storage server failed

I have renewed all certificates with "Lets Encrypt" in the menu item "Tools & Settings" -> "SSL/TLS Certificates" (Certificate for securing mail & Certificate for securing Plesk).
This step brought no improvement. My firewall is deactivated but my connection is denied by telnet (openssl s_client -connect myHost.com:993).

I have not made any changes in my Plesk system. This error occurred from yesterday to today.

So It probably seems to be an expired certificate?

I have no further idea what to do now.
Here again is the error I get from Roundcube:

[28-Apr-2020 13:34:53 UTC] PHP Warning: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to ssl://localhost:993 (Connection refused) in /usr/share/psa-roundcube/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_imap_generic.php on line 993
[28-Apr-2020 13:34:53 +0000]: <0uttuqkm> IMAP Error: Login failed for 567 against localhost from 77.64.145.187(X-Real-IP: 77.64.145.187). Could not connect to ssl://localhost:993: Connection refused in /usr/share/psa-roundcube/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_imap.php on line 200 (POST /?_task=login&_action=login)


Best regards,
Felix
 
Please check that Dovecot is not listening on the default ports 143 and 993, and it's binding on 9143 and 9993 ports instead:

# netstat -putan | grep dovecot
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9143 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 17638/dovecot
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9993 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 17638/dovecot

Also, Plesk Premium Email extension is installed, right?
And, please check the output of following command:

# systemctl status qmail

# plesk bin extension --list | grep -i kolab

In this case why you wrote:


Uninstall this extension and check that Dovecot works on 993 port instead of 9993 with

# netstat -putan | grep dovecot
