    Does this mean tha ti have to maintain IMAP, IMAPS and POPS or can i keep only IMAPS and POPS (secured versions only) ?

    Thanks.

    Interesting question. Looking at the sources under /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/ the applications themselves certainly seem to have defaults of localhost and port 143

    The disable plaintext auth also has the following

    Implying that webmail does indeed need IMAP, per the note

    Sure

    First run /scripts/makecpphp you're going to need some SSL in your PHP Kool-Aid.

    For SquirrelMail

    Code:
    
/usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/configure

Option 1, Option 2, Option A, Option 5, Change the port to 993, Option 7, Switch to YES, Save and Quit
    I will research the others and update.

    Thanks!

    For Horde:

    Edit /usr/local/cpanel/base/horde/imp/config/servers.php and change the port and protocol values as described here:

    Wiki :: FAQ/Admin/Prerequisites

    For Roundcube:

    Edit /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/roundcube/config/main.inc.php, and edit the following line:

    Code:
    $rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'localhost';
    This is explained here:

    Howto_Config – Roundcube Webmail

    Note that edits to the SquirrelMail, Roundcube and Horde configuration files can be overwritten when cPanel updates. To work around this, once you get everything working as you want, copy the files you have edited to another location, and create a /scripts/postupcp script that will copy the files back to their original locations. That way your custom edited files will still be present after each cPanel update.

    For the /scripts/postupcp script in case you have any trouble, here's how you could do that part:

    Code:
    cp /usr/local/cpanel/base/horde/imp/config/servers.php  /root/servers.php
cp /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/roundcube/config/main.inc.php /root/main.inc.php
    Code:
    touch /scripts/postupcp
chmod +x /scripts/postupcp
    After that, run the following to place the copy commands into that script:

    Code:
    echo -e '#!/bin/bash\ncp /root/servers.php /usr/local/cpanel/base/horde/imp/config/servers.php\ncp /root/main.inc.php /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/roundcube/config/main.inc.php' > /scripts/postupcp
    Thanks!
