IMAP Configuration Alfresco 4.2C

[unknown-user]

Hi Everyone,

I have installed Alfresco 4.2C in Ubuntu system and using it to evaluate and demo the product internally.

Below are the changes I made to alfresco-global.properties file to enable the IMAP and the

alfresco-global.properties

###IMAP Configuration###
imap.server.enabled=true
imap.server.port=143
imap.server.host=kms.jstpl.com



Alfresco Logs show that the system IMAP is enabled.

However, when I try to connect Outlook the Error is "Log onto incoming mail server (IMAP): The connection to the server failed."
I have checked the Ubuntu Machine  to ensure that port 143 is enabled.

Below are my settings in Outlook

Email id: admin@kms.jstpl.com

Incoming Mail Server: kms.jstpl.com
Outgoing Mail Server: kms.jstpl.com

UserName: admin@kms.jstpl.com
Password: *****

The IP that I use for kms.jstpl.com is an internal or local one and I checked that from my Outlook machine I am able to ping this one.

Kindly guide me as to what are the other possible areas of failure which is causing this issue.

I think your imap.server.host is wrong …   it should be the host/ip address that you want to bind the alfresco IMAP service to.   I suspect kms.jstpl.com is another email server based on the fact that's what you have configured for outbound email.

At its simplest if your box is called "fred".  then imap.serve.host should be "fred".
