Topic: [Solved] Thunderbird + Zarafa

[guest22]

Hi,

does somebody have the correct Thunderbird settings to connect to a remote Zarafa server based on IMAPS please?

I've tried all settings possible (See wiki pages on zarafa), but Thunderbird keeps complaining that it can not probe the remote Zarafa server during account setup in Thunderbird.

Zarafa Webaccess, Webapp and Z-push work just fine.

TIA

Hi RequestedDeletion,

Did you enable the service in server.cfg :

frifri,

thanks, yes I did, but still the same issue. "Probing server..." -> "Failed to find the settings for your email account".

iptables -L shows all the right prots are open as defined by db entries and zarafa-imap and zarafa-imaps have public access.

Thanks for any input.

Regards,
guest

ps. zarafa-server.cfg has 'disabled_features ='

and this is what the gateway.log says when remote/off-net Thunderbird is 'probing'for the server: (x'ed our real IP)

Wed Nov  6 11:11:04 2013: [ 5141] Starting worker process for IMAPs request

Thunderbird log shows: (real domain replaced with mydomain.com)

mydomain.com:8993 uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.
The certificate is only valid for mydomain.com

(Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)

I did install the Thunderbird Certificate Patrol plugin and added mydomain.com as a trusted domain.

Still same issue.

When using IMAP port 8143 (Non SSL) (service is set to public), no error logs in Thunderbird, but still no go.

Well, I think I found a 'fix'for this issue...

It seems that you have to add the self signed certificate of your SME Server _before_ you create an new email account WITH the exact portnumber for EACH service

Adding a security exception in TB for IMAPS looks then like:

https://yourserver.com:8993

and the same applies (different port numbers) for other services port numbers. Including the caldav (8089) port if you use lightning.

Then you can start adding accounts and accept security exceptions within TB for your servers self signed certificate.

TB does not warn that it rejects Self Signed Certificates by default, but does not report as such. Hence adding the exceptions including portnumber. TB will then NOT reject SSC.

excellent..

looks like a TB bug.. you should be asked to accept ssc only one time or every time, but only once

thank you, please feel free to report it in the wiki page

[guest22]

Done.
