[CentOS] C6.7 evolution to cyrus imap(s) fails

Many thanks to Alexander, Richard, Jonathan and m.roth

The Magic incandation !

portrelease dovecot
service cyrus-imapd restart

[root at maui:/etc/named]$ cat /etc/portreserve/dovecot
imap
imaps
pop3
pop3s

My total ignorance of portrelease/portreserve has been a bit
of a problem!

Now to fix it permanently and get evolution back in one piece

But why was cyrus able to use imap, pop3 & pop3S but not imaps?

John


!This showe it up!

> That limits the listener to bind to only the specific IP
Yes - that made it easy to tell if imapd was running on 148.197.29.5
by just doing ps -ef|grep cyrus 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
> What gets being logged at exactly that point? cyrus-imapd logs information at

[root at maui:/var/log]$ cat  maillog
just after running
service cyrus-imapd restart

IPs between range   148.197.29.129  148.197.29.253  ;
are dynamic, the rest are fixed
