Inbound storage mail

[chicco0386]

Hi,
I look for store my mail (myuser@gmail.com) into Alfresco space…

I have read the wiki but with no results.

I can send email with my account gmail, but I can't store my inbound mail into an Alfresco space…

CAN YOU HELP ME?

This is my email configuration:

For send (IT WORKS FINE)

mail.host=smtp.gmail.com
mail.port=465
mail.protocol=smtps
mail.username=user@gmail.com
mail.password= 
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
mail.smtps.auth=true‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

For receive:

#
# 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
# The username to authenticate as when the sender address is not recognised
email.inbound.unknownUser=anonymous

# Email Server properties 
email.server.enabled=true
#email.server.port=25
#email.server.domain=alfresco.com

email.server.port=25252
email.server.domain=gmail.com

#
# 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=.*

#
# A comma separated list of email REGEX patterns of blocked senders.
# If the sender email address matches this then the message will be rejected.
# For example:
#   .*\@hotmail\.com, .*\@googlemail\.com
#email.server.blocked.senders=
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

For open the port under linux I read this topic http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=17164&p=60309&hilit=inbound+mail#p60309

THANKS,
I can send mail from Alfresco using my gmail.com user, but I can't receive mail from out client…

I also read this http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Inbound_Email_Server_Configuration before post this topic,
and it says that for send email to alfresco it's possible…

AND IF  I WANT USE THE DOMAIN EXPLAIN IN THE LINK OF THE WIKI (ALFRESCO.COM), HOW MUST I DO TO CONFIGURE ALL?

FOR ME IT'S NOT IMPORTANT TO STORE THE EMAIL OF MY GMAIL ACCOUNT ON ALFRESCO, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT I CAN SEND I MAIL TO ALFRESCO FROM OTHERS ACCOUNT MAIL ON THE WEB…

CAN YOU HELP ME FOR CONFIGURE THIS?
THANKS A LOT…

Firstly, please don't shout. Using all caps is difficult to read.

What you want to do is possible, but it requires setting up your network to receive email and it's got nothing to do with Alfresco. I don't know whether you are a single user, or part of a large organisation, and that changes what you need to do. If the former, you may need to change ISP since most don't allow it. If part of an organisation, then you need to talk to the network administrators of your organisation since only they will be able to do what needs to be done.

Basically, you need to read up on how to configure your network for an email server, or find someone in your organisation who knows. In your case, your email server will just happen to be Alfresco. It does require very specific knowledge of your network setup however.

Sorry for the caps.
I'm a single user, I'm testing Alfresco with advanced workflows, and my ideas is that I want to create a workflow that read data from email.
To do that I think that I must to store the email into Alfresco, so I can start workflow with the data stored in Alfresco from mail…

So, if this operation it's more complex, I don't understand because in the wiki say it more simply (or only for me?)…
THANKS

It's simple to set up Alfresco to receive email. It's simple to test this locally (e.g., my sendEmail script above, or you can try connecting directly to the SMTP port using telnet ("telnet localhost 25252") to see if you get a response).

What you're talking about is routing email from the outside world into your local server, and that is where it gets complex because it requires network configuration. It's like setting up Alfresco to be accessible from the outside world is more complex than setting it up to run on your local machine, because you need to setup public DNS entries so random machines on the internet can find your server.

Hi

I have been able to make alfresco accessible from outside my local network. i mean I have a domain and i have beet able to make it point to alfresco. Inbound emails are working fine from local network. I am able to send mails inside alfresco with sendEmail -s mydomain.com:110 -u test -m test mail -f myemail@gmail.com -t 425@mydomain.com it shows up on the node with doid 425. The problem is when i am trying to send emails using gmail with the address 425@mydomain.com, gmail sends the email but it does not show up on my in the node 425. It have been a few hours and gmail did not give me any mail delivery failure.

These are the steps i followed

1) set public port on router 110 to 2525 (2525 is the port for inbound email server on alfresco)
    I can telnet into mydomain.com 110 so i think this is working fine
2) added myself in email contributers group so that the my email addres in there my username matches with the part before @ in the email address.

if anybody can help me to get this problem fixed I will be really grateful.

Thanx Faisal

Use port 25 instead of 110. Port 25 is the default SMTP port e.g. port that google tries to connect to when sending you the email.
