Puerto143— IMAP / STARTTLS

IMAP en TCP 143 puede actualizar una conexión mediante STARTTLS si está admitido. Es distinto del TLS implícito del puerto 993.

Registry assignments, software defaults and local listeners are different things. A port number alone does not identify or secure a service.

Configuration and troubleshooting

Haga coincidir el puerto, el modo TLS, el nombre de host y la autenticación del cliente con el servidor. Distinga los errores de negociación TLS de los fallos de inicio de sesión.

Important limitations

No envíe contraseñas sin una conexión cifrada de confianza. Seleccionar el puerto 143 por sí solo no habilita STARTTLS.

Read-only checks: run on the server host

Choose the commands for your OS. Check TCP and UDP separately. No result is not a lasting availability guarantee; inspect host and container separately.

Linux

sudo ss -ltnp 'sport = :143'

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:143 -sTCP:LISTEN

Windows PowerShell

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 143 -State Listen

Preguntas frecuentes

What is port 143 used for?

Port 143 sits in the Email & Messaging category. This page lists the registered purpose and the software commonly associated with it; to see what is actually listening on a specific machine, check the process with ss/netstat.

Is port 143 TCP or UDP?

The registered protocol on this page is TCP. The same number behaves independently on each protocol: TCP may be listening while UDP is idle, so check them separately.

How do I check if port 143 is in use?

On Linux: sudo ss -tlnp 'sport = :143' for an exact port match. On macOS: sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:143 -sTCP:LISTEN. On Windows PowerShell: Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 143 -State Listen. A listener counts as confirmed only when you can see the bind address and process name; without root/admin you will not see other users' processes.

Is port 143 secure? Should I open it in my firewall?

A port number has no inherent security — it depends on whether the listening service is correctly configured and whether it needs exposure at all. Keep loopback/internal-only services firewalled; where public access is required, pair it with source restrictions, VPN or authentication. The caution section on this page lists port-specific risks.
