Problem in IMAP node with Roundcube

[wael_hassan]

Can’t connect IMAP node to Roundcube. Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND https://webmail.freehostia.com/.

Workflow

Copy
{
“nodes”: [
{
“parameters”: {},
“type”: “n8n-nodes-base.emailReadImap”,
“name”: “Email Trigger (IMAP)”
}
]
}
Setup
n8n via: npm

OS: Windows

Question
How do I find the correct IMAP host for Roundcube? Current host (https://webmail.freehostia.com/) is not working.

Hey Wael,

The issue here is that https://webmail.freehostia.com/ is just the webmail interface (used by your browser), not the actual IMAP server.

For IMAP, you’ll need the mail server’s raw hostname — usually something like:

mail.freehostia.com

Try this instead:

Host: mail.freehostia.com

Port: 993

Secure: Yes (SSL/TLS)

Also make sure your login credentials (email + password) are correct, and that IMAP is enabled in your mailbox settings.

If mail.freehostia.com doesn’t work, check Freehostia’s documentation or contact their support — some hosting providers use a different mail hostname or require specific ports/auth settings.

Let me know if that helps!
