Connection to storage server failed on all but main account

[Louis Wevers]

I just did a fresh install of ident_switch. I setup a new identity as instructed and then tried to switch to the new identity. However, when I try to switch to another account I get the follwing error:

Connection to storage server failed.

Server Error: Could not connect to tls://localhost:143: Unknown reason

Switching back to the main account works as expected. I have this issue for both accounts on the localhost as well as accounts on remote servers.

You must’ve enabled “Secure connection (TLS)“ option in the identity configuration. I’m getting a similar error to yours and after enabling IMAP debugging in Roundcube I started getting this log message:

Connecting to tls://tls://myhostname:143…

Skip adjusting imap_host with the "tls://" prefix

@Louis Wevers can you try the attached patch? It fixes the issue in my environment.

[Louis Wevers]

Hello Adi,

Yes, that seems to do the trick. Thank you. It now works for all accounts, except gmail. But that’s a google issue I guess.

@Louis Wevers Before disabling tls:// scheme for external hosts I’d strongly suggest you make sure STARTTLS is still being used.

[Louis Wevers]

@Adi Pircalabu, STARTTLS is still used. The mailserver I tried with only accepts STARTTLS connections. And as I happen to manage this mailserver myself, I checked the logs to confirm that indeed connections are still secure.

Handle hosts with protocol correctly. Closes #68
