Hi Dynamo,

Have you found something on it.If so can u share it here.

Even i am trying the same on my local setup with Outlook 2007 & Alf 3.2, can see server logs same as you but can't see anything in outlook.

Here are my settings:

imap.server.enabled=true
imap.server.port=143
imap.server.host=a.b.c.d
imap.config.server.mountPoints=AlfrescoIMAP
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.mountPointName=IMAP
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.modeName=ARCHIVE
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.store=${spaces.store}
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.rootPath=/${spaces.company_home.childname}
imap.config.server.mountPoints.value.AlfrescoIMAP.mountPointName=Alfresco IMAP
imap.config.server.mountPoints.value.AlfrescoIMAP.modeName=MIXED
web.application.context.url=http://localhost:8080/alfresco

No idea how to make it work.

Just checked http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/IMAP & http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/The_IMAP_Subsystem but no help.

By looking at screen shot @ http://wiki.alfresco.com/w/images/9/92/Imap-virtualised-view.png, i can assume it is very old so less of use & no section for outlook integration.

So can anybody help me out here.Hoping on Alfresco guys to step in.

Hi Again,

Finally i got it working on Outlook 2007 but not on 2003.

Below are working alfresco-global.properties configurations for outlook integration:

Place following configuration entries in alfresco-global.properties {alfresco-tomcat home}\shared\classes\alfresco-global.properties.

#
# IMAP
#————-
imap.server.enabled=true
imap.server.port=143
imap.server.host=alfresco_server_ip_address
imap.config.server.mountPoints=AlfrescoIMAP
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.mountPointName=AlfrescoIMAP
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.modeName=ARCHIVE
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.store=${spaces.store}
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.rootPath=/${spaces.company_home.childname}
web.application.context.url=http://alfresco_server_ip_address:8080/alfresco

Once updated, restart your server.

Now open outlook 2007 & create a new account by selecting "Microsoft Exchange,POP3,IMAP or HTTP" as option.

Now select manual configuration option to & then on following steps, select Internet Email option.

You will reach "Internet Email Settings" step,here you put following values:

1. Put your user name in Your Name text box, your email id in E-mail Address.
2. Under Server Information, select IMAP option.
3. In incoming mail server, type your alfresco server IP Address(same alfresco_server_ip_address as above).
4. In Outgoing mail Server (SMTP), type your SMTP mail Server’s IP Address.
5. Under Logon Information, in User Name type your Alfresco Login Name & in Password, type your Alfresco Login password.
6. Optionally , you can click on "Test Account Settings" button for testing.

Once successfully finished, you can see Alfresco Repository in your mailbox below your email inbox.

Now you can drag n drop any of your email to alfresco repository & all sent emails will be stored in your Alfresco repository.

1.What should I put :imap.server.host=a.b.c.d?
2.What should I put :web.application.context.url=http://serveriport/alfresco?
3.What should I put : In incoming mail server, type your alfresco server IP Address?

I tried but does not go;
imap.server.enabled=true
imap.server.port=143
imap.server.host=s-dp4-app3.scc.local (my full computer name domain)
imap.config.server.mountPoints=AlfrescoIMAP
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.mountPointName=AlfrescoIMAP
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.modeName=ARCHIVE
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.store=${spaces.store}
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.rootPath=/${spaces.company_home.childname}
web.application.context.url=http://localhost:8080/alfresco

Hi fagiano,

I just updated my previous post to have more clarity.Also i am updating your queries here:

You should not use computer name instead computer IP Address in

imap.server.host=s-dp4-app3.scc.local (my full computer name domain)

Lest assume folloowing:

Alfresco server IP Address: 288.288.288.288(only assumption)

Now 288.288.288.288 will be your incoming mail server IP Address.

So updated values are

1.What should I put :imap.server.host=288.288.288.288
2.What should I put :web.application.context.url=http://288.288.288.288:8080/alfresco
3.What should I put : In incoming mail server, type your alfresco server IP Address which is 288.288.288.288?

Hope this will help!

Lets assume you are running Alfresco on your local machine so IP Address of your local machine is Alfresco server IP Address.

If you are on windows,on command prompt , type ipconfig command , you will get it.

Or Under support tab of your LAN connection system tray icon.
