One way of testing this is to try to connect using telnet from another. If that works, then at least the port should be open.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>You could also try changing email.server.domain=domain.net to use the external ip address of the server instead to rule out that this has something to do with the imap service listening at the wrong network interface.</SPAN><BR /><BR /></BODY></HTML> Wed, 08 May 2013 06:10:28 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/imap-configuration-for-remote-clients/m-p/306401#M259531 marcus_svensson 2013-05-08T06:10:28Z Re: IMAP Configuration for Remote Clients https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/imap-configuration-for-remote-clients/m-p/306402#M259532 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Appreciate the help.&nbsp; Changing imap.server.host to 0.0.0.0 fixed the problem.&nbsp; </SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 May 2013 06:18:35 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/imap-configuration-for-remote-clients/m-p/306402#M259532 vrothenberg 2013-05-28T06:18:35Z Re: IMAP Configuration for Remote Clients https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/imap-configuration-for-remote-clients/m-p/306403#M259533 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Glad I could help, cheers!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 May 2013 07:10:42 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/imap-configuration-for-remote-clients/m-p/306403#M259533 marcus_svensson 2013-05-28T07:10:42Z
