How to setup IMAPS and SMTPS in Kolab?

[Advrk Aplmrkt]

I have been able to access "telnet [hostname] 993" from outside my
network (i.e. from through the Internet).
However, I got the "Connection refused" error when connecting to
"telnet [hostname] 463".
On the other hand, Horde can be accessed from outside the network as
well. I was able to create calendars and contacts, but still can't
send and receive emails. Specifically, I still get the following
error:

"Failed to connect to localhost:587 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket:
Connection refused (code: -1, response: )]"

Any more ideas what's wrong? Thanks for bearing with me. I really hope
to get Kolab up and running soon...
