What you need is a public domain name. So Google mail knows the address of your server.

On alfresco you set email.server.domain to the public IP address above, to process the email.

On a typical install it will not be that simple since you won't want alfresco outside your firewall so you will put a proxy on your public IP address and pass SMTP through your firewall. And set email.server.domain to an internal IP address.

And you may already have a public facing email server in which case you will need to make your email server relay email to alfresco.

Hi all

After configure below in alfresco-global properties

# Alfresco Email Service and Email Server
#————-
# Enable/Disable the inbound email service. The service could be used by processes other than
# the Email Server (e.g. direct RMI access) so this flag is independent of the Email Service.
#————-
email.inbound.enabled=true
# Email Server properties
#————-
email.server.enabled=true
email.server.port=25
email.server.domain=example.com
email.inbound.unknownUser=anonymous
email.server.connections.max=3
# A comma separated list of email REGEX patterns of allowed senders.
# If there are any values in the list then all sender email addresses
# must match. For example:
# .*\@alfresco\.com, .*\@alfresco\.org
# Allow anyone:
#————-
email.server.allowed.senders=.*

i am not able to find the id of the folder so that i can make alias of the folder and upload the document in to that folder through mail…

Use alfresco explorer to find the I d. However it's not terribly useful so use an email alias instead.
