<pre wrap="">Adam,
1. Roundcube use a DNS name to connect to the IMAP server.
2. Host solipym.net returns IP address and MX record
3. The client is TB· on Windows... Sorry at this stage to complicated to migrate end users to Linux.

Sorry to bug everyone, but I am stuck with what is probably a simple
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>newbie error.
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>I've been playing with Ubuntu server 10.04. Got it working internally
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>(samba, cups,...), even got the apache and web sites setup correctly.
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>My next step was to setup a mail server.
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>So I followed a very nicely done howto to get postfix + cyrus working.
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>I also installed roundcube for webmail access.
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>So far so good. I got incoming mail, outgoing mail, well everything you
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>expect from a mail server. That is... with roundcube.
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>When trying to connect though a Thunderbird 3, no luck.
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>I know the mail server works... it works with the webmail part - at the
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>office and outside of the office. It also works with TB3 when using the
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>internal IP address of the server on the LAN. But no way to get it
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>working with a domain name.
</pre>
<pre wrap="">?? I'm not certain what the question is. Does the roundcube instance
use the DNS name or the IP address of the IMAP server.
Does "host your-server-name" return the IP of the server?

<blockquote type="cite" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<pre wrap=""><span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>So I figure the problem was with the connection to the server and the
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>resolution of the server name etc... (/etc/hosts, hostmane, or whatever
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>over config file and anything in between the server and the domain provider)
<span class="moz-txt-citetags">> </span>Can somehow help me to solve that part ?
</pre>

<pre wrap="">I'd guess it is a DNS issue [although, in my experience, TB3 is a really
buggy app - so who knows].
If you are on LINUX try it with Evolution [a good IMAP client] - does it
work from there?
