It should be working on Alfresco 2.2. What configuration settings are you using to set up the email listener?

hi zaizi,

i've taken the email listener from http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/download.php/312/email-listener_2.1RC2.zip so is it the right one  :?:

and i've follow the steps given …

How to install:
—————
After running Alfresco once successfully,
1- Stop Alfresco
2- Install package as described here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Module_Management_Tool
   After downloading the Module Management Tool from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143373&package_id=157460&release_id=524558,
   run this command:
   java -jar alfresco-mmt-2.1.0.jar install path_to_emailListener.amp path_to_alfresco.war
3- The above command backs up alfresco.war, and creates a new one with the module installed.
   Verify that the module is installed by running:
   java -jar alfresco-mmt-2.1.0.jar list path_to_alfresco.war
   Output should look like:
   Module 'emailListener' installed in 'path_to_alfresco.war'
   -    Title:        EmailListener
   -    Version:      2.1
   -    Install Date: Sat Oct 27 16:56:39 CEST 2007
   -    Desription:   EmailListener Module
4- Optional: To see debug messages on the console, add the following line to the bottom of the
   file alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\log4j.properties :
   log4j.logger.tr.biz.vardar=DEBUG
5- Start Tomcat

How to use:
———–
To add the ListenToEmail aspect:
1- Open the space you want to add the aspect.
2- Click on More Actions –> View Details
3- Click on "Add EMailListener Aspect" at the bottom of Actions panel on the right. // Not able to get the "Add EmailListener Aspect" option
4- Fill in all the values and click "Add Aspect".
   Now the aspect is added, and the quartz job will check for new email periodically
   (at intervals defined in bean emailListenersTrigger defined in the file
   emailListener-extension-context.xml).
  
5- Use your e-mail client and send an e-mail to the e-mail address you configured, add some attachments.
   ATTENTION: If you chose POP3 protocol, the message will be deleted from the mailbox.
   If you chose IMAP, the message will not be deleted, but marked as "read".
  
6- Go to the space you applied the aspect. You should see a new folder which represents the
   e-mail message received.
   When you click on that folder, you should see the presentation of the e-mail message.
   From now on, each time a message is sent to the e-mail address you configured,
   it should be received at the space where you applied the ListenToEmail aspect.

with that i am not able to get the "Add EmailListener Aspect" option
so is there any more step needs to be followed or anything wrong with above steps …  :?:

please guide me ..
