Encrypting the connection when communicating with email servers is very widespread. Therefore it usually isn’t enough to just insert the host name of the IMAP server when configuring an IMAP event source. In addition, the IMAP server’s SSL certificate must be registered in the certificate store of the current portal (Menu Portal / Portal properties / Certificates). After the registration is completed, the portal service needs to be restarted.
