Alfresco IMAP problem

[coyoteugly]

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure Alfresco 4.2.c IMAP protocol to access via Outlook at the contents.
My Alfresco is installed on a Ubuntu 12.04 test server (no production) with a public IP but not a web-domain associated. Firewall is disable, so port 143 is open.
So I edited the /etc/hosts file and added the following line to create a 'dummy domain name' that does not exist really. Example:
127.0.0.1   myalfrescosrv.com
95.x.x.x    myalfrescosrv.com

After I made the same operation on my windows client editing the file host:
95.x.x.x    myalfrescosrv.com

Now my server and my client correctly recognize the myalfrescosrv.com domain at my IP 95.x.x.x .

At this point I configure the /opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties file adding the following line to enable IMAP protocol:
imap.server.enabled=true
imap.server.port=143
imap.server.host=myalfrescosrv.com

After Alfresco startup I checked my logs on Alfresco.log file, and it seems to be all OK:
11:36:05,095 INFO  [org.alfresco.repo.management.subsystems.ChildApplicationContextFactory] Starting 'imap' subsystem, ID: [imap, default]
11:36:08,619 INFO  [org.alfresco.repo.imap.AlfrescoImapServer] IMAP service started on hostort myalfrescosrv.com:143
11:36:08,619 INFO  [org.alfresco.repo.management.subsystems.ChildApplicationContextFactory] Startup of 'imap' subsystem, ID: [imap, default] complete

So I try to configure my Outlook client in this way:
NAME:[email protected]
EMAIL:[email protected]
TYPE:IMAP
SERVER IMAP:myalfrescosrv.com
SERVER SMTP:myalfrescosrv.com
USERNAME:admin
PASSWORD:********

Anyway Outlook can't connect on my Alfresco Server!
I really don't understand what is wrong… I don't find the mistake…

Can you help me?
Thanks a lot. Regards.

You need to bind to a real address - I don't understand your need for a "dummy" domain.

Anyway if you look at your INFO message you will see that it has successfuly bound, although not too your "dummy" address.

Yes sorry, "myalfrescosrv.com" is not the real domain name I tryied, the name you saw on the log message was the effective Domain name i tryied to use. I didn't want to write it on this forum, so only for the previus post I use myalfrescosrv.com. I forgot to modify the name when I copied the log message. Now I edit the previus post.

I have a question: If I do not use a "dummy domain name", but I use only the IP address, when I configure the Otlook client, what email address I have to use? Something like [email protected] ???

Thanks a lot.
