Email configuration problem "no session password available"

[fzpulce]

Hi all,
i’ve recently upgraded to 14.1-CE from the previous Community Edition version.

I’m getting a lot of error mails from egroupware containing:

emailadmin_credentials::init_crypt() no session password available!
emailadmin_credentials::init_crypt() no session password available!
emailadmin_credentials::init_crypt() no session password available!

how can i debug this error ?

I suppose it’s a mail application configuration problem , but all seems to be ok.

Any advice ?

Thanks in advance

We’re get the same error message very seldom during normal operation
but always a few minutes after reboot of the egw server

Hi,

We’re get the same error message very seldom during normal operation
but always a few minutes after reboot of the egw server
Server probably runs async jobs eg. notifications after reboot.

That’s the usual cause for the above error-message. Async jobs have no
sessions and therefore can not access mail accounts, which are encrypted
with a users password.

If your SMTP server requires authentication, you need a so called “SMTP
only” account, which will then be used for async notifications.

To create an SMPT only account as admin:

• open mail account wizard
• click on manual and then skip IMAP
• enter smtp server and credentials
• in edit name new account eg. “SMTP only” and mark it valid for all users
