You need to create some SRV records with your DNS like:
record                        priority    weight   port   TTL
_imap._tcp.foo.bar               10         10      143   43200
_imaps._tcp.foo.bar              10         10      993   43200
_submission._tcp.foo.bar         10         10      587   43200

Replace foo.bar with your own domain.
