Logstash IMAP issues

I seem to be unable to get the logstash IMAP plugin working.

I have a logstash 1.4/elasticsearch/kibana setup which is working well. all
pretty standard stuff.

However when i create an input on my logstash host to go off and pull back
mail info using the imap plugin.
I cant seem to get it to work.

Below is my input configuration

input {
imap {
type => "mail"
check_interval => 300
content_type => "text/plain"
delete => "false"
host => ""
port => 993
password => ""
secure => "false"
user => ""
}
}

no matter what i do i get the following error.

{:timestamp=>"2014-10-28T12:25:31.802000+0000", :message=>"A plugin had an
unrecoverable error. Will restart this plugin.\n Plugin:
<LogStash::Inputs::IMAP type=>"mail", content_type=>"text/plain",
host=>"10.0.0.0", user=>"-logs@mailserver.com">\n Error: Connection
refused - Connection refused", :level=>:error}

ive checked the network and packets are going back and forth fine.

My question is.. do i need to reconfigure this to use a logstash forwarder
config on the mail server itself or am i doing something else really stupid

Thanks
