Software :: POP3 Access Through Dovecot With Outlook 2007
Aug 15, 2010
I have recently set up a mail system using Postfix, Dovecot, Spamassasin, ClamAV and atMail - I'm new at this, so proud of myself to have gotten this far. I have required secure authetication for both sending through SMTP and access via POP3 and IMAP. All seems to work properly. I have tested POP3 with KMail and Evolution and everything works great. The only problem is I cannot get Outlook 2007 to authenticate for POP3. I can send through SMTP with secure authentication from Outlook, but no matter what I try I cannot get it to authenticate for POP3 access. Checking SPA in Outlook causes it to repeatedly ask for credentials which it does not accept, while un-checking it causes the client to be immediately rejected by the server.
I have turned on all the various relevant client work-around options in Dovecot and Postfix (that I am aware of) and I have hunted through the web to see what I can find, but no luck.
Besides using the listed client work-arounds in the Dovecot config file, can anyone shed light on what else I might need to do to get Outlook 07 working with POP3?
recently I've replaced an old windows mailserver with a new one running 10.04 LTS (postfix - dovecot) but I got a strange problem with MS Outlook 2003 and 2007 on Win XP. These MUAs receive new messages extremely slow. Some of messages are received repeatedly. All I found in /var/log/mail.log is login and then (after 1 minute) disconnection for inactivity. No errors.:
Jul 11 10:36:51 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=(user@domain.org), method=NTLM, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Jul 11 10:37:07 dovecot: POP3(user@domain.org): Disconnected for inactivity top=0/0, retr=1/5434, del=0/12, size=954793 nothing more. And outlooks wait and wait reporting "receiving". What they are waiting for? Is there something dovecot should send them?
At the same time Mozilla Thunderbird and Opera Mail on the same network with the same setup don't have any problems. I just don't get it. Does anyone know what to do to get it work please?
Does anyone know of any "Wine" goodies that can get outlook 2007 running on exhcnage 2007? I know about running windows in a vm but I'd like to get it running natively. Any suggestions?
I know about Exchange's OWA being a complete re-write, but I didn't know if anyone had solved this. My other question is can I attend go-to-meetings in linux? and if so how? I've only seen this work on windows with active x plugins.
I've set up Ubuntu 9.04 (desktop) at home in a lab environment (workgroup rather than domain) and have configured Squid. Everything works fine but, when I took it to the next level and made the proxy transparent, my problems began. I can still access sites (having pointed the XP Pro client to the squid box as the DG) and the sites are logged in /var/log/squid/access.log but I am unable to use Outlook to access my SMTP and POP3. I guess that the setup is blocking ports 25 and 110 and I'll need to configure iptables to forward packets destined for these ports directly to the "real" DG, rather than the Squid box. Here's the set up:
A single NIC (eth0) on 172.19.0.250 / 16 (static) ADSL router ("real" DG) on 172.19.0.1 I executed iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 My squid.conf:
Code: acl all src all acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl localnet src 10.0.0.0/8# RFC1918 possible internal network acl localnet src 172.16.0.0/12# RFC1918 possible internal network acl mynet src 172.19.0.0/16 [Code]....
For long-term migration from courier to dovecot I would like to install courier-pop and dovecot-pop3d simultaneously. Aptitude offers me to install one, by removing the other, only. Can this be done without creating problems for the package manager and future upgrades? And why if not?
The following NEW packages will be installed:
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
I have configured the postix email server in Centos. Its working fine with Squirrel mail client. But If I configured in microsoft Outlook. it is working. with this post I have attached the error message. Please let me know solution.I am getting this error message while I check the SMTP authentication in outgoing server tab on outlook account setting configuration.If I send any email It will bounce and came to to inbox
Does anybody really know how to import Outlook 2007 email and address info into evolution? I will never get back the hours of my life I spent. I have read nooks and crannies in the forums, run script files, incorporated, Outlook express, Outlook 2003 and 2007, Thunderbird and at one point yelled at my monitor. I have exported and imported .csv files, tabbed delimited files, comma separated value files, and then in the end a post from a non-Ubuntu page told me I could just import the outlook.pst file. Some of the above methods work to some degree. Others just trash my contacts. I have only 350 records to import. None of the above methods will import the address field for Home, Office or Other. They are always blank. Might that be because I ran the Ubuntu One setup files before I imported my contacts?
I believe I have everything but this setup, as when I use my Outlook's Test Account Setting, it's able to do the following: 1) Send a test e-mail 2) Connect to POP3 3) See the actual test e-mail at /var/spool/mail/<username>
However, the Test Account Setting wasn't able to authenticate to POP3. I then do the following: 1) Start up Command Prompt. 2) Execute "telnet <server IP> 110". It gives me "+OK Dovecot ready". 3) Type "user <username>" 4) Type "pass <password>". It gives me "-ERR Authentication failed".
Then I searched around and found this. However, I'm not sure if I am able to make any sense out of it.
My CentOS 5.5 is setup with the following standard files: /etc/passwd (password field contains the character "x") /etc/shadow (examining this reveals it's using MD5 has as the password field begins with $1$)
So how should I set my /etc/dovecot.conf? I think it's this file I need to setup to enable POP3 authentication?
When I log in with shell It connects and reads the SSL on port 993. The problem is when I use SSL for the email client it gets the error on the email side and it doesn't work. Out going mail on the postfix works, and also incoming and outgoing on my actual server works. I have one email set up there for testing. I am really confused. This is not a self signed SSL either. I tried to create a dovecot.pem but it won't work. How do I create the dovecot.pem for a non-self signed SSL?
i have some problems to start my dovecot server. I tried to install it from webmin using "un-used modules" but it was allways the same error: "E: Unable to locate package dovecot-pop3d".When I tried to install it from console using the commands: apt-get install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d dovecot-common - and there are no problems with dovecot-imapd and dovecot-common, but still the same error with dovecot-pop3d. After command: service dovecot status: could not access PID file for dovecot ... failed! After try to start dovecot with comand "dovecot": Error: mail_executable: Can't use /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3: No such file or directoryFatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.confI've read a few similar threads in this forum about dovecot errors but still can't to fix it.
I'm trying to configure dovecot in RHEL6, but seems system won't accept local user login. I've already disabled pam. I've tried mutt -f imap://xxxx, and Thunderbird to connect as imap and pop3, but both failed, seems dovecot won't accept the password of the login user.the dovecot info log as, Jul 03 20:48:42 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Too many invalid commands (no auth attempts): rip=192.168.1.3, lip=192.168.1.3, mpid=0, secured
I have recently set up a mail server running dovecot and everything is fine. However, I now want to retrieve the contents of 2 pop mail boxes and insert them into the IMAP structure under dovecot. I need to check for spam and sort them according to sender and recipient.
What is my best software option for retrieving the mail?
I am trying to prepare procedures for email restoration following a file system loss that contained user Maildir directories. Assuming that my most recent backup is earlier than the last time that many users received and downloaded email, the restored mail directories will not contain messages that were previously received and downloaded to clients following the backup and preceding the crash. This is not a problem in itself, however, it does appear to cause problems for the email clients.
My desire would be for email clients (outlook, outlook express, thunderbird) to properly recognize the messages that currently exist on the server, ignore previously downloaded messages and download newly arriving messages.The behavior that I am seeing is that the email client fails to recognize that any new messages exist and fails to download any messages at all. By removing the dovecot.index... files and the uidlist file, the clients will download ALL messages that are present in the "new" and "cur" directories even if previously downloaded. This is also an undesirable outcome.
I'm somewhat familiar with Linux and became pretty decent at installing and configuring packages in Ubuntu. One of the things I was able to do with my tinkering was set up a functioning imap and pop3 mail server using dovecot-postfix. Now I'm experimenting with Slackware to get the feel of another distro, and I noticed that the mail server packages were already installed. On my client computer they can pick up that I have users configured and my mx record is working.
However it is failing to send mail saying that it is failing to relay the e-mail message and that the server responded 5.7.1 which was a problem that I was having in Ubuntu when first configuring the mail server. The fix was to edit the postfix.conf file and adding the localhost name of my server. Does anybody know of the file that I need to edit to make it possible to relay my messages with both pop3 and imap.
i need office 2007 to complete school work as openoffice doesnt support access databases. i switched to linux as i didnt have my recovery discs for windows and wanted to start afresh. my problem is that i have got word,excel,powerpoint & publisher working but access just wont load. i click the logo and it does say starting access on the bottom taskbar but then it disapears and nothing happens. ive tried google and havnt really found a answer im running ubuntu 10.10 and i have wine installed This is kind of urgent as i have a deadline fast aproaching and need access at home to progress in work
My server listens to POP3/IMAP requests. Some users have configured their mailers with high checking frequencies, say once every minute, such that the system logs are full of entries with no significance at all.I'd like to ask if there is a way to limit the per IP frequency of POP3/IMAP access ?I'm using "xinetd" to wrap the "ipop3d" and "imapd" which come with the Alpine package.
I used to have this setup on an old server and i'm trying to move it to a new server.I have a new box installed with Ubuntu 10.10, sendmail, courier-imap and courier-pop.I've configured virtusertable/local-host-names/virtual-domains/sendmail.cf and such.Everything is set up to take any mail arriving to @mydomain.com and move it to a user called "mobileinbox".When i log in as mobileinbox (su mobileinbox) and check my inbox using mutt, i see all the e-mails , but when i login from the outside using pop3 or imap , it says i have no new emails.
I'm installing Lotus Domino on Linux Server. Did anyone know how to reverse proxy for HTTP and POP3/IMAP on linux ? I've problem when try to open webmail from internet. I can't access webmail and POP3 from internet. Seems because connection from internet can't directly to Domino through Firewall. If using apache seems no problem with the webmail, but POP3 still can't access.
Is there any Linux software that fetches emails from let's say 3-d party imap server (ex imap.gmail.com) and allows you to access it in nice format through web interface.
So - if I run my own LAMP server I could just type in my ip address and access emails/calendars.
I guess something like Outlook Web Access but free and for Linux?
I am having some trouble finding the information i need, here is what i am trying to accomplish.
1. Download POP email messages from cody@clearsky.net.au using fetchmail and assigning them to account "cody"
2. Connect and view the emails via IMAP using dovecot server logging in using "cody"
So far i have the fetchmail part working fine, but i cannot see any emails in the inbox. The messages are going thru however as they are visable in MUTT. i have edited my /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf to change the mail directories, but no luck
I used mail_uid and mail_gid in dovecot.conf to set the permissions, I'm not using local system accounts, instead accounts specified in MySQL. I can dump all the output of doveconf if requested.
I am thinking of installing a Linux mail server and use it for my company. We are about 3 people that using emails and i do not want do spend a significant amount to get an exchange server. However, i need a mail server that i will be able to get the functionality that exchange server provides such as emails (to my mobile, web access, and using outlook client), calendar, tasks and contacts. Can you reccomend me which Linux mail server should i use for all the above functionality?
How can I download Mail from Dovecot POP3 Server to new Dovecot POP3 Server of all users and will always run every minute. I've tried fetchmail and getmail but only in one user and need to run fetchmail or getmail to retrieve new emails.
Ms office 2007 works perfect in 10.10. I'm worried I won't get the same effect in 11.04. I only have an old netbook so I can't really test 11.04 in vb and I don't think I can properly install MS Office it to my usb drive live booting 11.04.
I got the impression after attending a LinuxCon session that Exchange 2007 support in Evolution was a solved problem in SUSE. Is the same true in openSUSE 11.3? What packages do I need to install to enable Exchange email/calendar/contact sync in Evolution? And does it depend on IMAP?
I tried to install Microsoft Office 2007, but I get a program error "This program has encountered a serious problem and needs to close". Here is the wine log:
Code: fixme:ole:NdrCorrelationFree (0x18b9504): stub fixme:ole:NdrCorrelationInitialize (0x18b9504, 0x18b9104, 1024, 0x0): stub fixme:rpc:NdrStubCall2 new correlation description not implemented fixme:rpc:RpcImpersonateClient ((nil)): stub
A few days ago I started an unattended install of MS office 2007 by mistake (didn't have the keyboard captured into a windows VM running at the time). For some reason the office installer didn't want to uninstall it and kept crashing even after trying various things to try and get it to uninstall it never did. I then deleted the .wine directory and uninstalled wine via synaptic which got rid of office but didn't get rid of the firefox problem that I'm having. Now whenever I download a word (.doc/.docx and I'm assuming other MS office files).
it tries to open in Microsoft office word which now longer exists on my system with no option to open the doc in OO which I would like it to do. I have been through most of the file extensions for office 2007 and managed to change them back to open in OO in gnome but firefox still thinks that office exists on the system even if a new FF profile is used. Any ideas to what it could be and how I change it back or will I have to reimage my system? Running ubuntu 10.04 amd64 with the stock version of open office.
