Cant add mail client to outlook
« on: June 12, 2007, 01:02:42 AM »
Hi i was trying to add my mailservice to my outlook but it doenst work. My settings in outlook are:


username: jurgen
password: Therightpassword
IMAP: mail.jurgen-meijer.nl
SMTP: mail.jurgen-meijer.nl

The domain name is reachable(outlook can contact it).

Contact STMP works.
Contact IMAP works.
login to IMAP doesnt work.
Send test mail fails.

my email settings in server-manager are all set to allow public and private access. And webmail by HTTPS.

as the accountname i also tried to use jurgen@jurgen-meijer.nl but this doenst work either. Hope someone can help me.

Regards.

by default the public access to imap is via imaps, on port 993.

to allow public access to pop or imap (as opposed to pops and imaps) use the following commands:

Code: [Select]
config setprop imap access public
signal-event email-update


this will then allow the option to be available in the server-manager.

my personal opinion is it is better to work with the imaps and its increased security than to open imap to the world.  the sme gurus (bless them!) must agree because from version 7 imap and pop3 public access has been disabled by default.

cheers,
shell

The outlook 2003 'test' function constructs an illegal email that is missing required headers.  The qpsmtpd plugin "check_basicheaders" causes these tests to be rejected.
