GMail IMAP

[java_4_ever]

Has anyone been able to access GMail’s IMAP with FelaMiMail. I have not had much luck even though my GMail account has been enabled. It displays the message “The connection to the IMAP Server failed!!”. Through FelaMiMail, I clicked on “Manage Email Accounts” and setup the following:

IMAP settings

imap.gmail.com
993
SSL checked
[my username including @gmail.com]
[my password]

SMTP settings

smtp.gmail.com
587
authentication required checked
[my username including @gmail.com]
[my password]

Any ideas?

Is there a log that I can look in to see what is happening?

Thanks

yes, simply check TLS instead of SSL.

That worked great! Thanks for your help!

How about outgoing SMTP. I keep getting the error message “The following From address failed: [my username]@gmail.com”. It seems to be related to a missing TLS or SSL setting which there is no option to select.

Any ideas?

That’s it, and to make it works, we have to find a way to use SMTP with TLS/SSL but as far as I know it’s currently not supported by eGroupWare.

Hi all,

I have just tried to get gmail imap working with felamimail as per the settings above but to no avail

I have tried using both ssl and tls but I get the same error messages, see below:

“The connection to the IMAP Server failed!!
Unable to find the socket transport “ssl” - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?”

“The connection to the IMAP Server failed!!
Unable to find the socket transport “tls” - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?”

Gmail imap functions correctly with thunderbird on my computer.

The egroupware server is working correctly otherwise and mod_ssl is enabled in apache config
The server is a xampp installation if that is any help

ok so got it working, basically if you have installed xampp, the openssl extension is disabled by default in php.ini. Once this is enabled, gmail loads up no problem.

My work email is POP only so I am using gmail to fetch the POP which will then show up in Egroupware thru the Gmail IMAP server. Roundabout solution I know!

As for the sending mail, I have a workaround which i use. I use my work smtp server for sending mail which doesn’t need ssl/tls authentication so I can send mail from Felamimail no problem and its from my work address (even better!!)

My problem is this, the mails I send don’t get saved to the IMAP server (i.e. Gmail sent folder) Is there any way I can achieve this thru filters etc???

Thanks

Simply go to Felamimail Preferences and here you can select the folder to which sent messages are moved. All your folders and subfolders can be choosen.

I have checked the TLS and it seems to be working.
no errors at all.

I can manage folders and then i see all my GMAIL folders.
also I can create a folder (label) which will appear in Gmail so it’s working.
but if i click on the mail button… NO mail , no folders no nothing…

I have searched this forum now for some time but NO answer.
I’m using the latest version of e-groupware.

thx a million already!

Is there anybody who managed to retrieve and send email via his/her gmail account within egroupware?

If so, then I kindly ask you to post the full specifics as well as the necessary program dependencies if any.

Thanks in advance.

P.D. Although I followed the instructions above, it did not work. I was constantly asked to save index.php.

Basically, under the function SmtpConnect() there is a section right before this line

I don’t have what the code looked like before but I changed it to:

I was asked to include the full phpmailer file and the source code of SmtpConnect(). Easy enough, here you go. Good luck.

function SmtpConnect() {
if($this->smtp == NULL) { $this->smtp = new SMTP(); }

    //$this->smtp->do_debug = $this->SMTPDebug;
    $hosts = explode(";", $this->Host);
    $index = 0;
    $connection = ($this->smtp->Connected()); 

    // Retry while there is no connection
    while($index < count($hosts) && $connection == false)
    {
        if(strstr($hosts[$index], ":"))
        {
        	$hostA = explode(':', $hosts[$index]);
        	if (is_numeric(end($hostA)))
				$port = array_pop($hostA);
			else
        		$port = $this->Port;
        	$host = implode(':', $hostA);
        }
        else
        {
            $host = $hosts[$index];
            $port = $this->Port;
        }

        if($this->smtp->Connect($host, $port, $this->Timeout))
        {
            if ($this->Helo != '')
                $this->smtp->Hello($this->Helo);
            else
                $this->smtp->Hello($this->ServerHostname());
    
            if($this->SMTPAuth)
            {
                if(!$this->smtp->Authenticate($this->Username, 
                                              $this->Password))
                {
                    $this->SetError($this->Lang("authenticate"));
                    $this->smtp->Reset();
                    $connection = false;
                }
            }
            $connection = true;
        }
        $index++;
    }
    if(!$connection)
	{
        $this->SetError($this->Lang("connect_host"));
	}

    return $connection;
}

In order to make outgoing mail work I had to edit the /phpgwapi/inc/class.phpmailer.inc.php file…

…Basically, under the function SmtpConnect(), insert (copy & paste) the following:

{
$hostA = explode(’:’, $hosts[$index]);
if (is_numeric(end($hostA)))
$port = array_pop($hostA);

right before this line:

There is a feature request regarding this problem… go to:

http://www.egroupware.org/egroupware/index.php?menuaction=tracker.uitracker.index

and select tracker Que: “all” and search for feature request number “1054” [Allow secure connection (SSL) to a SMTP server] and vote for it! Maybe we can get full support in upcoming versions…

For now this fix only works if gmail is configured for each egroupware account individually (enabled through admin settings under EmailAdmin).

Yes choosing TLS did work for me too. However, to get it to work, it had to be enabled from two places:
Firstly, when in mailadmin, click on the profile in question and change ssl to tsl.
Secondly, I had to go to the email box itself. To the left it says: Manage email accounts and identities. I had to change it there too. Only when both were changed, did my gmail mail come right up - and boy was it fast. All my hundreds of emails were just there! Whoa! Quick.

Peace
