How to setup IMAPS and SMTPS in Kolab?

[Nicholas Moore]

I have been getting the same problem, but it appears to be related to 2.3.2

In my recent tests I have used a 64 bit machine with OpenSuse 11.4, on a 
box in my office and within my lan, so no internet access issues.

1) fresh install of 2.3.0     - tested message sends, using webmail     
- all ok.
2) upgrade to 2.3.1          - tested message sends, using webmail     - 
all ok
3) upgrade to 2.3.2          - tested message sends, using webmail     - 
FAIL - with:

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

The only difference I have noticed so far, which may be peculiar to 
OpenSuse is that kolab is configured to start in runlevels 2,3 and 5 
whereas previous versions were configured only for 3 and 5. This seemed 
to disable kolab on startup, so I have removed the runlevel 2 start.

I have had no response to previous requests for help with this error 
message posted 8/6/11.

Cheers

Nicholas
