Disappointingly unhelpful replies... we can do better

IMAP should work "out of the box" when you've set up a Mail account. There's some helpful stuff in the documentation under "How to set up a mail client" - http://vestacp.com/docs/

Important stuff:

- For both incoming and outgoing, IMAP and SMTP, server name is your domain, no subdomain e.g. my-site.com not imap.my-site.com or smtp.my-site.com unless you've reconfigured that
- Set security/encryption type to STARTTLS or simply TLS - if you haven't set up a signed SSL certificate you might need to use an option like "STARTTLS (any certificate)" or click okay on a security prompt so it doesn't reject the unsigned
- Ports are standard, IMAP port: 143 and SMTP port: 587 - these are probably the default options
