  1. My server (VPS 5869) is not on the list, and yet we are unable to access our emails even via webmail. We get the same message:

    Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost. 111 : Connection refused

    I contacted support but after more than 3 hours, still not sorted. Our Saturday office work seriuously affected.

    Not happy.

     

    1. Hello Jerry,

      I did check the list and did not see your node (server that houses your VPS number) on the list. If you are still getting the error, please reach out to our Live Support team for individual account assistance.

      Kindest Regards,
