→Accessing Received Mail Messages on VM3 VIA IMAP
#The configuration file for the Dovecot service (which is not the same thing as dovecot-lda) is: '''/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf'''. Modify the '''protocols''' option so that Dovecot will work with IMAP connections, no POP3 or LMTP.
# Start the dovecot service, and ensure it will always start automatically when the machine boots.
# Use the '''ss''' command to confirm the service is listening, and use '''nc ''' on the '''host ''' to confirm you can connect to it.# Using You'll probably fail, so using the information gathered from '''ss''', modify the firewall on vm3 to allow IMAP connections from your local networkand try '''nc''' again. Remember Once it works, do not forget to save this change so it will still be there the next time you reboot.
#If you can connect - it's now time to do something wrong, that is allow connections to our IMAP server over an unencrypted connection.
# Edit the '''/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf''' file and set '''disable_plaintext_auth''' to '''no'''.
