Webmail IMAP server issues

Atomoyo
I have spent a few hours trying to resolve an issue with logging in via cPanel to roundcube. When I or a customer attempts to login to an email account on roundcube through the email accounts page, the page will load for a long time before saying that IMAP is unavailable. This issue has only occured since I updated to 114.0.5 I'm not quite sure where to go from here. I have attached a screenshot of the output of cat /var/log/mail.err which I assume is causing the issue. If anyone has an ideas as to what may fix this, please let me know as I have customers unable to access their emails! Many Thanks Atomoyo

    Hey there! A couple thoughts: -do you get any odd output when running "/scripts/restartsrv_dovecot" -have you tried disabling the firewall on the server just in case that is somehow related?

    No, doesn't seem like there is anything odd when I run it. I had assumed that cfw could be causing the issue, so I whitelisted all of the ports to do with mail according to

    I'd suggest you run: /scripts/upcp -- force

    Running a forced update is never a bad idea!

    Didn't seem to make a difference. Still seeing the same IMAP is not available message. I also did a quick restart after the command too, is there any logs I can export that may help?

    I'd recommend creating a ticket with our team at this point so we can check it out!

    I just ran "tail -n 50 /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log" and got the following output: [2023-09-15 22:20:17 +0200] warn [Internal Warning while parsing ./webmail/jupiter/index.html 20825] alarm() with negative argument at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Form.pm line 91. at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Form.pm line 91. Cpanel::Form::parseform() called at cpanel.pl line 883 cpanel::cpanel::script("cpanel::cpanel", "-webmail", "./webmail/jupiter/index.html") called at cpanel.pl line 324. This shows up every time when someone tries to login. I believe this is the line "alarm( ( $end_time && ( $end_time - $current_time < $read_timeout ) ) ? ( $end_time - $current_time ) : $read_timeout );".

    Hey, that's something! So, a timeout. Do you see any failed login attempts in /var/log/maillog that have similar timestamps?

    So " tail -n 50 /var/log/mail.log" just seems to have logins then instant disconnections. I ran " tail -n 50 /var/log/mail.err", not sure if it is of interest

    That all looks normal to me. Have you tried running "/scripts/upcp --force" on the system to ensure all the cPanel files are present?
