Fedora :: F10 - Evolution Stopped Sending Email To Exchange Server
Jan 7, 2009
I am working happily with Fedora 8, evolution chatting happily to exchange 2003, calendar sync the works...impressed. This continued through Fedora 9 (though a little bumpy as all odd numbered Fedora releases are). On to Fedora 10, yes works a treat out of the box (DVD). A couple of updates to evolution later, through yumex (fedora updates), and evolution has stopped sending email to the exchange server. It's also touch and go whether I can read email using OWA.
On pressing 'Send/Receive' evolution pops the error,
Error while performing operation.
Exchange transport can only be used with Exchange mail source.
How could I back out these evolution updates?
Basically, I think my Internet crashed while sending an email via Evolution and now whenever I open Evolution, or try and receive any new email it just sits there sending this email - it reaches 100% so I can only assume it has actually sent the email.
There's a button to "Cancel the current mail operation" though it doesn't appear to be doing anything; the email is still being "sent" each time.
This would be pretty tedious for the guy I sent the email to.
Having one issue with evolution not showing html websites showing up in email like verizon sending a promo. I have gone to edit, preferences, mail preferences, html messages and have always load images from the internet chosen. I have also added sender to contacts. Even if I right click message and tell it to dload images it doesn't.
Nagios has been up and running for quite sometime now and no issues till this month. For some reason, Nagios kept failing to send notifications out to our department. Out of curiosity I've sent the email out manually and tailed the mail.log then found out that every email being sent is getting a "Connection Refused." Can this be a permission issue? If so where and why all of the sudden it just stopped working as none has changed in the OS (Ubuntu Core).
How to configure my home linux server, as an email server, and be able to send email to hotmail, please?. I have done this before, but I never managed to do it so hotmail accept emails coming from my linux server.
I'm attempting to send email with a PHP application I got from a textbook. Do I need to start an email server in order to get the application to work?Using SuSE 11.2
i want to configure my MS Exchange server email in Evolution of Fedora. as, Ubuntu 10.10 gives the dropdown for MS exchange server, however in fedora 14 the same is not available.
i need to configure postfix on centos to relay email from the internet to the Exchange Server and i also need that emails sent from the exchange within the same domain be sent to postfix then resent to exchange because i have spamassassin and clamav installed on centos to filter all incoming and outgoing mails ...
I'm experiencing an occasional frustration using Evolution with my work email which is on an MS Exchange 2003 server.Everything usually works well enough, but from time to time I'll try to retrieve a message,Is there a setting I've missed in Evolution that might take care of this, or some other workaround?Let me re-emphasize that the server is a 2003 Exchange server (and a source of endless frustration for a non-windows user). It's not a 2007 or 2010 Exchange server, which is what most companies use these days.
I cannot receive mail from my POP server; I used the same settings as I previously did with Thunderbird but I keep recieving an error message "La lecture de salutations valides du serveur POP pop.videotron.ca a �chou�" (roughly: exchange with the POP server failed).I am able to connect to the Internet and to other mail accounts with Evolution.
I want to create a shell script that generates a file and then sends it via email from my Ubuntu desktop by using my Exchange 2003 Server which is on a separate windows machine on my network. I do not have an smtp server set-up so that is one of the reasons I want to go this route. The other is because I will be able to sync the emails sent from the exchange server.
Evolution won't connect to our Exchange Server 2003. I have the Evolution-Exchange plugin installed and the Evolution vsn is 2.28.3. The Ubuntu vsn is 10.04 lucid. In the setup of the mail account I enter the user name in the form domainusername; in the OWA URL I enter the URL in the form - URL... and then I click the authenticate button (can't progress without authenticating). When requested I enter the password. Then comes the error message - could not connect to the server. Make sure the url is correct and try again.
I can connect to OWA using a browser. However I have to negotiate past the browser warning me that the server has a self generated certificate and not from a trusted authority. Maybe this is the problem, I don't know. The fact that I can get to OWA by means of a browser means that the firewall in our router is configured correctly, as is port forwarding to the server.The domain/exchange server is in our office and I have administrator rights.
I had configured the evolution to send/recive email. After it had been configured, it could receive emails. Suddendly it can't fetch email anymore. In the inbox of evolution, there were about 200 emails. There are maybe 5K emails in the server, I guessed. I'm not sure whether it's the problem that there's one email in the server too big, so the evolution can not fetch it. The error of evolution is: error while fetching email. Evolution version: Evolution 2.28.0. OS version: Linux xxx2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Wed Mar 3 04:57:21 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I'm sure my network is fine, I use pop3 to receive email.

I have F13 x86_64 with all updates. I tried to setup Evolution to access our corporate MS Exchange 2007 server, so I installed evolution-mapi-0.30.3-1.fc13.x86_64 , yum pulled in also dependecies samba4-libs-4.0.0-22.alpha11.fc13.x86_64 and openchange-0.9-2.fc13.x86_64.
Installation went OK, then I tried to setup the account in Evolution. I chose : server type: Exchange MAPI server: mailserver.corporatedomain.com username: my.username Domain name: corporatedomain.com
Of course, the names of server, domain and my username are different in reality, however, I entered them in the same format as written here. The communication with mailserver is on corporate internal LAN - no routers or firewalls between. When I click "Autheticate" it prompts me for password, I put in the correct password but I get the error: Authentication failed. MapiLogonProvider:MAPI_E_LOGON_FAILED
I tried to put in the IP address of the mailserver instead of its network name, tried to put in the IP of the domain controller, enter the domain name in uppercase, all sorts of combinations but nothing works.
is there a way to get authenitcated??? I googled far and wide, but did not find the cause for Here is the output from evolution when started in gnome-terminal:
(evolution:1606): e-data-server-DEBUG: Loading categories from "/home/user/.evolution/categories.xml" (evolution:1606): e-data-server-DEBUG: Loaded 31 categories ** (evolution:1606): DEBUG: Loading Exchange MAPI Plugin ** (evolution:1606): DEBUG: MAPI listener is constructed with 0 listed MAPI accounts e-data-server-ui-Message: Unable to find password(s) in keyring (Keyring reports: No matching results) e-data-server-ui-Message: Key file does not have group 'Passwords-ExchangeMAPI'
So I have Postfix working great and I've always used webmail if I needed to send email from PC's outside of $mynetworks. So fast forward to today where I got my 1st Android powered mobile phone and I can configure the Android mail client to send/receive IMAP email but my question is do I need to become an open relay to allow my random wireless providers dynamic range of IP's to send mail via Postfix? Seems extremely vulnerable and scary to think I would have to allow my providers IP range to relay mail via my MTA. I started reading a bit and I think I need SASL authentication and since both Postfix 2.8.1 & Dovecot 2.0.11 are both configured / using TLS, is there anything else I would need or you recommend for sending email from my Android powered mobile?
I have postfix sort of working correctly. postfix can send email to the internet but it doesn't want to send email to my local exchange server. What I need is for postfix to send emails directed to @xyz.com to my exchange server instead of itself.
My setup mail.xyz.com - exchange 2003 server www.xyz.com - centos 5.3 server with postfix
www.xyz.com can send emails to my hotmail.com account so that part works correctly. www.xyz.com can't send email to username@xyz.com. postfix seems to be delivering the email to itself and not the exchange server.
How can I tell postfix to send the @xyz.com emails to my exchange server?
Here is a sample of my /var/log/maillog Jul 22 15:43:43 list postfix/smtpd[9802]: D63168604A3: client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Jul 22 15:43:53 list postfix/cleanup[9805]: D63168604A3: message-id=<20090722204343.D63168604A3@www.xyz.com>
i am using centos 5.4, running squid for proxy, i want to block email sending and receiving of proxy users to secure my data. how is it possible that the proxy user can only brows websites but he can not receive or open and send or save as draft to mail box.
Our mailing systems was working in web mail and we had a tool wherein if we apply leave mails where sent to web mail. Now we have moved to exchange server and we want the mails to be sent to exchange server. The Leave Management systems is developed in PHP with Mysql the platform used is linux.
system is RedHat v4. I removed root: admin-name@domain from /etc/aliases then ran /usr/bin/newaliases.
The admin does not get the emails but now the email generated by the cronjobs is being sent to my-name@domain outlook email from "root@localhost.localddomain". No other changes were made. Where should I start looking for the definition of sent crontab email to my-name@domain?
All the emails I send from my linux server end up in the recipient's spam folder....Although I have tried many howtos etc and checked all blacklists... It doesn't work...
Did anyone heard about or can suggest mabe a postfix serverside solution in order to insert a counter number into the subject line before the message is sent? I mean something similar with helpdesk tickets, because I would like to create the possibility for the senders, to make further refference about a speciffic message using it's counter number provided by postfix server.
i've got Evolution as an email client in Fedora 12.ve got only one IMAP account configured, which seems to be working OK. However, temporarily it is not sending emails. I write an email and hit send/receive and get error. "Error while sending message" ir seems that it is downloading messages, but not sending. There is a quick, but annoying solution to it: restart Evolution. As soon as it is restarted (close and ope the application) it is working OK for some time.
I'm attempting to send email used a textbook PHP application. The application fails to send an email.Do I need to setup an email server to get the ap to work?Right now, I'm getting email through Kontact via my web host, Yahoo mail and Google mail.
How is it possible to send email using the "mail" program? I tried: echo "testing" | mail -s "test" myaddress@gmail.com But nothing happened. I made sure that the sendmail daemon was running before I tried. Is there anything else that I have to set up first?
Sent an email by using telnet on port 25 from the terminal. Telnet states my message was sent but I never got it. Is it on the hard disk somewhere. Is there a log file? Where did my email go? Did it go into the ehter? I opened port 25 on my firewall through gnome by selecting 25/smpt checkbox as a trusted service.
I wanna switch to Fedora on my office laptop. I have figured most my app's alternatives. But I just can find a app or a way to configure my exchange based email system "natively".
I set up a new machine w/ f15 this past weekend. Everything seems to work fine except Evolution.The first time I ran Evolution I restored my Evolution v2.3 (mbox) files that I had backed up from F13. I did this from the setup wizard so I actually never "opened" Evolution. The conversion to maildir appeared to go OK, and I can see the files in /home/oldan/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/cur. Each file (there are 17,000+) can be opened, so the data conversion is intact.
However, I am unable to open the application at all. In the GUI (KDE) I get a spinning icon that goes away in about 30 sec. From a command prompt as a regular user I get:[oldan@Fedora15-001 Documents]$ evolution (evolution:4822): Unique-GDBus-WARNING **: Error while sending message: Timeout was reached
As root I get[root@Fedora15-001 Documents]# evolution No protocol specified Cannot open display: Any one have a clue as to what might be happening?
I had decided to give Ubuntu a go on my work notebook. At work we use Exchange 2003 (at the moment) for email. I had open Evolution and tried to configure it. I got the welcome screen (wizzard), I clicked Forward and then I skipped Restore from backup (since this is a new install) and clicked Forward. It asked for identity and I gave the details (as shown in the first screenshot) then hit Forward and made the necesary settings as shown in the second screenshot. Then I click Authenticate and it asks for my exchange password. i type it and then it gives me the error "Could not locate server.". I am sure the server name is correct and I am sure it resolves correctly (tried it with firefox and works just fine). I also tried username as follows:
