Auto configure mail

Hello,
I would like mail to be automatically configured when a new user logs in for the first time.
Is it possible to do this in a managed LDAP / ODM environment?
Regards.

Wow, thanks a lot, I think I got it working now.
Is there a website / wiki / knowledge base where I can find all the differences between Snow Leopard Server and Lion Server?

Can't get mobile device to auto configure the active sync server

Hello
I am trying to get my costumer mobile devices to auto configure the active sync server name so they don't have to type it in. I believe I have everything in place Certificates are fine. I populated the external url on the active sync
object in Exchange.
DNS is set up correct. I ran the Exchange Connectivity Analyzer and it runs perfectly. The only test step if fails on is the first attempt to contact the autodiscover service using just the domain name and that is because we have a
record in DNS so our domain name points to our public web server but all the other tests run fine. At the end, it even displays the xml file contents and shows me the external url of the active sync object.
I get a successful run but it first shows SSL certifiate of our public Web site and then hangs on the server config and then prompts me to enter in the server name and domain. My external url in Exchange looks like this:
https://remote.domain.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
Any Help??
Eddie

Thank you for replaying but there is already internal A record that points to Exchange server. Firewall, DNS external and internal are setup like this:
Firewall:
Port 443 and 25 points to Internal IP of our Exchange 2013 (only mail server in company).
Port 80 not open.
External DNS records:
autodiscover.mydomain.com à points to our WAN IP
remote.mydomain.com à points to our WAN IP
mydomain.com à points to external online webhosting
Internal DNS records:
autodiscover.mydomain.com à points to ours Exchange 2013 internal IP
Remote.mydomain.com à points to ours Exchange 2013 internal IP
mydomain.com à points to external online webhosting
Test form "ExchangeConnectivityTest.com" is Successful but with warnings.
Warnings are about https://mydomain.com/AutoDiscover/AutoDiscover.XML
because
https://mydomain.com is
pointing to website, which is hosted externally.

Query regarding auto e-mail notification for ccms

Hi,
I want to configure auto e-mail notifications for ccms alerts.
I have configured ccms monitoring for our landscape on the solution manager.I went through the SAP documentation and it mentions that we have to do the SCOT settings and CCMS_OnAlert_Email_V2 method settings in client 000.But we already have the SCOT config done in 100.
My question is can i complete the rest of the config in 100 or i have to do everything in client 000 only.
Thanks,
Shashank

No Shashank. I dont think this is required. You need not have to redo everything in 000 client.
You only have to create the user in 000 client.
Might be you have to create an RFC connection between your 000 client and the 100 client. I will confirm this to you tomorrow or so. Make sure the user has required authorizations in 000 client.
best regds,
Alagammai.

Auto Configure not prompting for credentials

Hi Folks,
I've a problem where users of Outlook on XenApp cannot configure an email profile. It just times out. I access the same XenApp server/user account from a Published Desktop or RDP the profile configures fine.
The Outlook Auto Configuration tool works identically in both scenarios except for the last step. On the Published Desktop I am prompted for domain credentials and then sent the Autodiscover XML file. However, over a XenApp session Auto Configuration never
prompts for login details, although the log say differently, and the attempt fails.
I turned on Outlook logging and captured Autodiscover logs for both scenarios (identifying information is changed to NWTraders)

Unable to auto forward mail with encryption

Hi,
I'm currently testing mail exchange with encryption. I have setup two accounts with a comodo class 1 free email certificate. In Outlook 2013, the checkbox for "encrypt contents and attachments for outgoing messages" is ticked and I am able
to send encrypted mails from outlook 2013 between these 2 accounts fine. Now, I have setup a rule on one account to auto forward mails to the other account based on subject and sender. Outlook is open and active the entire time during my test,
but the mails get send UNENCRYPTED. Whenever I trigger the rule by "run rules now", the mails will be send with Encryption.
Anyone know why this is happening and whether there is a way of getting this to work?
Regards and thanks in advance,
Roger

Hi Roger,
Are the messages that got forwared by the auto forward rule previously encrypted?
Maybe you can try below approach and see if it works. Create below registry key in Registry Editor, Outlook will automatically encrypt a message that you are forwarding which was originally encrypted:
Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Security
DWORD Value: NoCheckOnSessionSecurity
Value data: 1

How do I set up my Mac to auto retrieve mail from icloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you can't get your mail to work on Snow Leopard after June 30, you might want to try one of these approaches
1. Configuring Mail in Snow Leopard
2. Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

After 1st Gen iPod touch reset, cannot configure mail for Mobile Me or iCloud account

I recently reset my iPod touch 1st Gen, v. 3.1.3 (7E18) and have not been able to configure Mail to check the Mobile Me or iCloud mail server. I get an error msg that the user name or password must be incorrect, but they're not. I assume this is due to the old IOS not being up to date with iCloud technologies, but I was able to get mail on this device before resetting. I don't use it much for email, but do carry it on trips as a backup access device to get to mail and calendars. I dont really want to use Safari to check mail when there is a mail app for doing so.
Any suggestions?

Do I need to configure Open Directory before I configure mail?

I am doing a slow step-by-step configuration of a new 10.6.2 box and I am marginally skilled. Before I migrate a handful of accounts from the old server to the new, I want to make sure mail services work on the new server. Later I would like to try experimenting with Open Directory. Since I will be creating local user accounts on the server to configure mail, will these migrate to Open Directory later or will I need to reconfigure the accounts? If the latter is true, it suggests I should install Open Directory first.
(I apologize if this belongs in another discussion group.)
Paul

I have discovered that the answer is that I do not have to configure Open Directory first. Found this on the OD discussion area:

How to configure mail client to only download headers(titles) of emails

Hi there?
I have 10 different email accounts (for some weird reasons that i think irrelevant fir this question), and i want to use Mail app as my main client. iCloud, hotmail, yahoo, gmail, other imap and pop etc.
Now the mail client is trying to download everything from the servers which is gigs of storgae space. I need to configure mail to only download titles of emails, not the entire email with attachments etc.
I can do that very simply in MS Outlook, and even in the old outlook express client.
How can i do that in Mavericks mail client please? I looked everywhere
Thanks

Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

How to configure Mail Users aliases

Hello,
i have installed OS X Lion Server and after after a short while i was very dissapointed.
One of my goals was to get a easy GUI to adminstrate my mail Server.
So, after installing Server App i configure and activate a Mail Server.
Then i wanted to add aliases to my User and tried to start The Workgroup Manager.
Within i searched for a the mail tab in order to configure the User Aliases.
But there was no Mail tab there, so i have to create the aliases through the command line (edit /etc/postfix/aliases, newaliases).
I cannot believe that there is no gui for configuring mail users. Is this really so or is it in another place or have i forgotten to check or to do something else.
How do you setting up and configure mail and mail users in OS X Lion?
I am looking forward to you answers and expiriences,
Greetings,
Peter

@menzbua
You can configure mail aliases, the same way you did in Mac OS 10.6 Server... Make sure you have Installed Server Tools for 10.7. Run Workgroup Manager. Under the User, Select Short names on the 2nd or 3 line add [email protected] etc .etc

How to configure Mail to send from off-site

I am trying to configure Mail on a laptop that will send and receive email both went it is connected to the servers ISP (on site) and when the laptop is connected to a non-site ISP. In other words when I am in the office I am connected to the ISP that is hosting my mail server. When I am out of the office and using an ISP that is not hosting the mail server. I have configured Mail such that I can send and receive email when I am onsite. When I am offsite I can receive email but not send it. In order to fix the problem I have tried configuring the SMTP to require password authentication using a couple of different server ports (i.e. 25, 110 & 587) but have been unable to send from off site. At this point I am at a loss as what to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

If the off-site ISP doesn’t let you send no matter what port you use, there is little, if anything, you can do about it. Many ISPs, however, only block port 25 for all traffic outside their own network. Something that usually works in those cases is changing the outgoing server port to 587 instead of 25 in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but the outgoing server in question must listen to that port for this change to work.
If the off-site ISP allows sending on port 587, but the outgoing server you want to use doesn’t listen to that port, you may solve the problem by using an independent authenticated SMTP server that allows sending from any mail account no matter where you are.
A Gmail account, for example, would allow you to do this. Instructions for setting up a Gmail account are provided here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275
After setting up the Gmail account in Mail and checking that it works, you can use Gmail's SMTP server to send from your other mail accounts as well:
1. Log into your Gmail account on the web.
2. Go to Settings > Accounts.
3. Enable the addresses you want to be able to send from, and let Gmail validate them by verifying that you do indeed own them.
4. For each mail account you want to send from using Gmail’s SMTP server, in Mail go to Preferences > Accounts, and choose Gmail’s SMTP server from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) popup menu.

How to configure Mail to use different ports for POP and SMTP?

I am trying to configure Mail for my AT&T account. It requires me to configure POP (incoming) mail for port 995, and SMTP (outgoing) mail for port 465. However there doesn't seem to be an option to configure different ports for these. Is that correct, or am I missing something?
Alternatively can I configure two accounts, one for POP incoming and one for SMTP outgoing? My incoming POP account does work, but in configuring an outgoing account I still have to configure a POP server name and that will not work for the outgoing port.
Any advice on how to solve this would be appreciated.

Understand. It is really quite easy to do in Mail, too. Kappy told you how to set up the smtp piece. I gave you pop info. These two things are on different panels within Account Preferences.
To recap his and my posts
SMTP:
In Mail Prefs, click on the accounts icon. Click on your att yahoo account on the list. On the right of the window, in the lower portion, you see an smtp server menu. Open it and select edit. Select Edit Server, then click on its Advanced tab. Set up port 465 with SSL.
POP:
This is on a different panel in Mail PRefs Accounts. Now in Mail Prefs, click on the accounts icon. Click on your att yahoo account on the list. On the right of the window, you see three tabs, acc't info, mbox behaviors, and Advanced. This is where things are different than for smtp. You are going to configure stuff on a different "advanced" panel than where you were for the smtp stuff. Click on the advanced tab. There is a field for port with a SSL checkbox next to it and an authentication drop down menu. Check the box and it should quickfill change from 110 to 995. Autentication drop down is probably already default to password.

Hi,
I want to test subscription. My problem is how to configure the mail server.
As to my understanding, we need first configure mail server, then the user can choose "Subscribe" in the Details screen of a folder.
My steps are:
1. In KM - CM - Utilities - Channels, specify SMTP server, userId and password.
2. In KM - CM - Utilities - Channel originators, set the Original address for notificator.EMAIL.
3. In KM - Collaboration - Groupware Transport - Mail Transport, specify SMTP server and sent message folder.
After that, when I choose a user and click "Send email", it failed saying "Failed to communicate with SMTP server when sending the email.".
Could anyone tell me what's wrong with my configuration, or what should I do to make subscription work?
Thanks,
Ray

Hi Vineeth,
Thanks for help.
According to your steps:
1. set up a mail transport and making notification and mailing service active.
In System admin - KM - CM - Global services, I've enabled Inbox, Mailing and Notification services.
In KM - CM - Collaboration - Groupware Transport, I've set up a mail transport:
Name: JavaMailTransport
SMTP Server: smtp.yahoo.com
Sent message folder: /documents
System alias name: mytransport
2. Give everyone read permission on notifications in KM.
Where can I set user's permission on notifications? I think you mean folder /etc/notifications, but I don't know how to set permissions.
3. Check if proper id's are maintained in users profile.
How to do this?
Thanks for help~~
Regards,
Ray

Hi Pankaj Sharma,
The suggestion above would be a good solution to you. However, if you do not want to use this add-on, you may just configure SBO-Mailer to perform the task. You may check all available setting for the mailer and read through Administrator Guide for how to set it up.
Thanks,
