Cyrus Imap + Thunderbird 3

[Dominique Couot]

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.

?? 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?

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?
