I want to configure dovecot as gmail imap proxy. If any system in my network wants to connect to imap.gmail.com,993 it has to go through the dovecot proxy.

Is it possible to setup such environment with dovecot? If yes, can you please help me to configure my dovecot server.

Warm Regards

imapproxy does not support secure IMAP, port 993; which is required by Gmail. You need Perdition for that, here is a clue: http://www.dataparadis.net/osp/gnu-linux-server/proxy-server/gmail-imap-proxy-imapproxy-perdition/

  • I checked with all possibilities and finally came to know that imapproxy do not support imaps (993) which is used by imap.gmail.com. Can you please suggest any other imap proxy which will support imaps (993)
