I am setting up a Mail Server on Azure (Windows Virtual Machine) using HMail and its all working great apart from not being able to connect my Outlook on my home PC.
I believe the issue is that when I telnet using the hostname, the connection fails.
telnet typhoeus-mail-1.cloudapp.net 143
However trying telnet using the localhost works and the webmail on the server works too.
telnet 127.0.0.1 143
I have tried disabling Windows Firewall but this doesn't change the behaviour, how can I get this to work using my hostname? It does allow me to connect on port 25 using this.
telnet typhoeus-mail-1.cloudapp.net 25
using the Microsoft website testconnectivity.microsoft.com I get this message
Testing TCP port 143 on host typhoeus-mail-1.cloudapp.net to ensure it's listening and open: The specified port is either blocked, not listening, or not producing the expected response.
Does anybody know how I can make IMAP port 143 work from outside the server - To me it sounds like a firewall issue, but even with the firewall disabled it doesn't work?
