Port993
imapsIMAP over TLS protocol
IANA has registered port 993 to imaps on TCP; UDP 993 is held as reserved. The entry cites RFC 3501, RFC 8314 and RFC 9051; RFC 3501 and RFC 9051 also appear on 143 (imap); RFC 8314 on 465 (submissions) and 995 (pop3s). RFC 9051 obsoleted RFC 3501, so the registry lists both the old and the new document. It is the TLS counterpart of imap on port 143.
