I have NextCloud 23.0.0.3 with a Mailserver using PostFix and Dovecut and SSL (certbot.eff).
I followed this guide >>thisGuide<< in the installation process.
I followed it step by step but the issue appeared on the last step while I’m trying to create a new email to the server
I keep getting
reating account failed:Connection to IMAP at :993 failed. Authentication failed.
on horde_imap.log
Connection to: imap://:993/
Server connection took 0.0132 seconds.

details i add to the new email
I’ve also tried different names and simpler passwords and more complex once, they all endup the same way
I checked all the required ports I cant find any issue and as for nowufw is not active.
I’ve looked all day all over the internet, and tried all the answers I could find, I can’t figure out why it’s acting like that.
