I can get Thunderbird and cubemail to work just fine, but outlook will not.  I have these two settings in my conf file

disable_plaintext_auth=no
ssl=yes

The server sends and receives email perfectly, I just have to get users to be able to connect to it with Outlook now.

Thanks in advance

Re: Outlook 2010 Will not connect to iRedMail

What's the error message in Outlook? Do you have correct IMAP/POP3/SMTP server address and username/password configured in Outlook?

There error message is

"""""Log onto incoming mail server (IMAP): General authentication failed. None of the authentication methods supported by your IMAP server (if any) are supported on this computer.""""""

Re: Outlook 2010 Will not connect to iRedMail

What's your IMAP AUTH settings in Outlook? You should use secure connection via port 993, secure type should be TLS or STARTTLS.
Also, make sure you set correct server address, and use full email address as login username.

That was it.  Of Course it was something simple.  The port is the standard 143, but I had to turn on TLS.  Outlook now connects and it works how it should.  Thanks for the help.
