Hi,
I’m having an issue with Roundcube on my DirectAdmin server.
Roundcube keeps showing the error:
“Cannot connect to the managesieve server”
This happens specifically when I go to Settings → Filters in Roundcube.
What I have already checked:
- Dovecot is running normally
- Managesieve is enabled in /etc/dovecot/conf/protocols.conf:
protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve
- The managesieve listener is active on port 4190:
ss -tulpn | grep 4190
Both IPv4 and IPv6 listeners are present.
- Telnet to the managesieve service works:
telnet localhost 4190
I receive the correct Dovecot Pigeonhole capabilities.
- The Roundcube plugin is enabled:
$config['plugins'] = ['managesieve','password','archive','zipdownload'];
- Apache and PHP-FPM restarted
- Full server reboot
Problem:
Roundcube still shows the same error when opening Settings → Filters, even though managesieve is reachable and responding via telnet.
