The new email capabilities include the ability to access Alfresco via IMAP (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Community_Edition_3.2😞
Email Client Support via IMAP

* Emails clients can navigate and view documents and emails the repository via the IMAP protocol
          o Email Message body displays dynamically generated view for non-email content including:
          o Metadata
          o Action Links
          o View may be customized via Presentation Template
    * Drag n' Drop emails directly into the repository from email client
          o Automatic Metadata Extraction
          o Automatic extraction of Email Attachments

You can find directions for enabling the IMAP protocol here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/IMAP

Hope this helps.

I'm sorry, but I've searched and serched but I didn't find the file alfresco-global.properties to modify! :cry:
Should I create it?

another question, before enabling IMAP, i should enable both inbound and outbound email server?

The inbound and outbound email server is SMTP email, not IMAP.

If your alfresco-global.properties does not exist then yes go ahead and create it.
