Are there any messages in your alfresco.log file? In particular related to the email subsystems?

And does "myalfresco.com" resolve correctly?

I can't see how that code corresponds to the error message. In particular the error message is for the cm namespace.

I suggest as an experiment you set the email alias through the Alfresco Explorer UI rather than by code.

I agree, i don't see a direct connection neither. But should the smtp server be running even if i woudn't set any email aliases?

I had that thought, but i'm new to alfresco and it seems that the Alfresco Explorer is turned off in our project. At least and haven't found the way to get to it yet. I know i should use something like localhost/alfresco, but there's only a client from the project on localhost. Could you, please, tell me how can i get to the AE?

I've found the reason why the smtp server didn't start. Turns out i needed to look at bootstrap config

<bean id="InboundSMTP" class="org.alfresco.repo.management.subsystems.ChildApplicationContextFactory" parent="abstractPropertyBackedBean">
    ….
    <property name="autoStart">
        <value>false</value>
    </property>
</bean>‍‍‍‍‍‍

It did work after that

Hello!

UPDATE/2013-5-27/13:52:
Now i find the config file; the parameter (autoStart) is on true - but the SMTP did not start?

UPDATE/2013-5-27/14:10
It seams so it is a problem with my FW or the FW of my Provider!

UPDATE/2013-5-27/15:44
OK now i know what happens - Ubuntu use AppArmor and blocked per default the Port 25. I shutdown AppArmor with the Option: AppAmore teardown to unload all Profiles; but it it doesn't work???
No E-Mail in Folder:

1.) I have a Special User for incoming E-Mail
2.) The User is in the EMAIL_CONTRIBUTORS Group
3.) I mark the Inbox-Folder with a E-Mail Aspect and Alias emailin
4.) I think my config is OK:

### Inbound E-Mail ###
email.inbound.unknownUser=emailin
email.inbound.enabled=true
email.server.enabled=true
email.server.port=25
email.server.domain=trusdebt.de
email.server.allowed.senders=.*

I am helpless?

I fix all my issues!!!

1st - be care your Linux Distribution has not install a other SMTP Server like postfix 😉

2ed - If you use a gmail.com account you get trouble with STARTTLS; you must configure your Alfresco Inbound Option like: email.server.hideTLS=true - then you get your mails from gmail.com

3rd - Give a INBOX-Folder as admin user the group right: everyone
