Email Proxy server for POP -to- IMAP bridge

Hi Guys
I have an email client which can fetch mails from an IMAP server, POP is not supported by the client.
[I cant change my email client :-)). so no suggestions on that]
My problem is that i need to fetch Yahoo Mails into my email client And Yahoo supports only POP, no IMAP.
My action of plan is to setup a email proxy server in-between, like YPOPs.
[YPOPs fetches mails from yahoo on POP but doest not expose any IMAP interface].
My email proxy server will fetch mails from Yahoo Mail on POP and will expose an IMAP interface to my email client application.
My email client can connect to this email proxy server and fetch mails on IMAP.
I wanted to ask u guys, abt ur ideas. If any of u faced any similar problem?
And i want to know if Java Mailing API can help in this?
Please guys do share ur views at least. If im able to devise a working solution, definitely i'll share.
Thanks alot

Hi bshannon
No i havnt paid for Yahoo Plus. I know Yahoo doesnt give service to free accounts.
Yahoo server to be configured for Yahoo plus is - mail.plus.pop.yahoo.com
But using YPOPs or Zimbra i am able to even access my free accounts. To me It implies - that yahoo has kept some mail server open for free accounts too.
I tried mail.pop.yahoo.com - it doesnt works.
Actually i tried the fetchmail on linux. There the problem is:
1) That i have millions of yahoo accounts. In fetchmail i need to configure account details in .fetchmailconf and
moreover i dont know how much space i'll need on my server to dump the mails of millions of users.
2) In future my users might need to reply to the mails too, i.e. reversing the whole flow. fetchmail can only fetch mails. it cant send mails.
I dont know UW IMAP.. i'll check. Thx anyway :-)

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

How to set a Proxy Server for appletv

The network I'm on requires that I set a Proxy server to get out to the internet.
Is there anyway to specify a Proxy server for AppleTV?

Hi Red-Baron,
The Apple TV does not support Proxy Server configuration (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305010). An alternative is to enable internet sharing on a computer and have the Apple TV connect to that computer.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

"do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" IEM setting

Hi, i would like to find out where can i find the following setting in GPO which used be found in IEM.
"do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" Enabled/Disabled
as currently im setting the IE proxy exception list via GPP, i don't see that option.

Hi,
As you notice that when we use GPP Internet Setting item to configure bypass proxy servers, there is no "do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" option in GPP Internet
Setting item. However, as suggested by zanderol24’s reply, we can use bypass proxy server for local addresses option under
Proxy server to achieve the same function.

How do I Change my cox incoming mail server from pop to imap

I Have a macbook pro with OS X Yosemite. I want to change the incoming cox mail server from pop to imap. I did it on my ipad and iphone but I can't do it on the mac pro. Do I need to delete the existing account and do it as a new account or can I edit the server?

It depends on what Cox has set up. Usually, you need to create a new account using IMAP. You don't want to delete the POP accounts because all your old mail is stored on your computer. You'll want to import that using Mail's Import option.

How do I set up a proxy server for webmail services to assist in migrating from NMS 4.15p6 on NT to iMS 5.1 on HP-UX.

I want to have minimal if no downtime at all when moving the message store. iPlanet support hinted at an "unsupported" proxy server solution, and would give no further information. I am running the MMP with 5.1 and that supports IMAP and POP migration, but I need support for webmail services as well to complete the migration from NT to UNIX with minimal distruption of thousands of users. I am using the MoveUser utility to move the message store in hopes that will clear up some store corruption we have been seeing.

To get this in a 'supported' fashion you might want to wait until the iMS 5.2 release. iPlanet has said this release would include a webmail proxy/mmp server to do exactly what you desire.
A proxy server would not be a solution to your problem as it would have to have access and knowledge to the users mailhost attribute to determine to which host to route the webmail connection. The webmail proxy/mmp will have this functionality.
You might want to contact your iPlanet rep about this product and maybe you could get a copy of it as part of a beta program. I know iPlanet is always looking for oppourtunities for feedback like this.

Problems with email after switching from POP to IMAP

I recently switched from POP to IMAP settings on my MacBook Pro (OS X Yosemite 10.10.2). My email seems to time out and then my emails seem to disappear. Then I have to logout and re-launch every few minutes to keep seeing my emails. Everything seems to be working fine for my iPhone and it's IMAP settings. Any ideas anyone?

when an IMAP account is set to use IDLE (a desktop equivalent of push) the emails are pushed by the IMAP server to Mail as soon as they are received. when this happens no new mail sound is played.
That is incorrect.
well, it always worked this way for me on all my imap accounts (I have 4).
and I've seen lots and lots of posts describing the same behavior. I don't know what's going on in your case.
I have two email accounts, both use IMAP IDLE, and I get the new mail sound each and every time a new mail message is delivered to either.
So there's some other factor at work here.

10.5.2 Mail cannot connect to intranet Linux mail Server. POP or IMAP

Does anyone have any suggestion ? Haven't been able to get MAIL to connect (either POP or IMAP) to the intranet email Server. If I Telnet the server on 192.168.1.1 110 or 192.168.1.1 143 I get instant connection, MAIL on the other hand just keeps on spinning. Connection Doctor has not helped either, after a few minutes I get red lights. Checked and rechecked all settings, deleted account and recreated account to no avail. Tried running Thunderbird with same settings and everything works fine ! The Linux email server is running Fedora 7 / Cyrus IMAP server. Runs both protocols (IMAP on port 143 and POP on port 110).

this post maybe fit your needs... they solved a similar problem

How to configure a proxy server for Windows Azure Tools in Visual Studio 2013

Hi Visual Studio/Azure Tools team
I would like to use the Windows Azure tools in Visual Studio 2013 to manage my Azure Web sites (Server Explorer -> Windows Azure -> Web Sites) from within my corporate network which is secured using a proxy server. Unfortunately, I am not able to use
the Windows Azure tools since the required HTTPS connection to windows azure is not going through the default configured proxy. Instead, Visual Studio tries directly to connect to port 443 which is blocked by our corporate firewall (and yes: there is no way
around using our proxy server). Other visual studio features like NuGet, updates, etc. work fine and use the configured proxy server.
So my question: How can I configure visual studio respective its Azure tools to use a proxy server instead of a direct connection? I already tried configuring the proxy server within the file devenv.exe.config but this doesn't show any effect for Windows Azure
tools.
Regards
tschaena

As we have very similar problems I consider the found solution a work arround an existing problem which will not work if corporate FW policy does not allow such changes.
In my mind, any tools in charge of dealing with some sort of FW protocols should deliver the following information, should make it absolute clear how to setup that the request packages are setup rigth at the first time.
a) proxy server
b) proxy port
c) proxy user
d) proxy users-password
e) proxy.auth.Preference="BASIC"
And for moste tools (including Visual Studio and AZUR Tools) it is absolut unclear
a) how to setup that on a per tools basis
b) OR who inherits this information from whom i.e. use the same as IE does, what if we use FireFox or any other browsers?
I understand that developers requested to cure such problem areas will often have difficulty to gain all required elemenst used to realy test the solution.
But I can tell you: I loos more time figthing down the FW setups for my clients. WHat I do at home in a sniff, takes ages to be realised by all the various clients on the market where each has to deliver the same sort of information but actually does not,
or has it just somewhere, but not in the vicinity of the demanding user.
Good examples i.e. NetBeans IDE where the Option Menu shows very clearly what information is required to pass through a FW/Proxy; but even there, the hint to start with a BASIC authentication schema is not part of this OPTION menu and must be added a JAVA
environment value. But at least, it works.

How to setup a Proxy Server for SSL

Hello,
We have a proxy server that uses the same port for http and https. How can I setup a proxy server in OSB (10gR3) for my business services to use with same port for both http and https?
Thanks,
Mike.

Hi Mike,
The problem is OSB doesn't seem to let me set the same port for both http and https on a proxy.Can you please let us know the exact problem you are facing? I hope you would have referred below links as well -

You may set the proxy server at JVM level as well (workaround).

CRM 2013 - How to set a Proxy server for plugins to run with?

We have several plugins that need to query web services on the Internet, and I need them to go through a specific proxy server. How do I set this without hard coding the proxy into the plugins? I've tried adding the proxy to the machine.config,
I've updated the web.config in the CRMWeb folder, I've even added the proxy to IE under the users used by the App Pool Identity then used netsh winhttp to make this a system proxy. None of these have allowed my registered plugins to access the internet.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

The way I'd do it is to not rely on .config files, but instead set it programmatically in the plugin, and either store the proxy configuration data in the configuration string for the plugin registration step, or store it in some custom configuration entity

Galaxy S5 Won't Connect to Email Server for POP3 or IMAP

I use POP3 from a rackspace webmail account. I use it on my PC and a few mobile devices.
Got a new S5 and all seems good except setting up my rackspace email.
I know all the setting are good, I can verify them with rackspace and on my other devices.
I have confirmed I have a good internet connection, both via wifi and the Vz network.
I tried setting up as IMAP instead, and the S5 also does not authenticate with the email server.
Rackspace can't help me, their settings are simple and work fine on other devices.
I've tried using my wifi and with wifi turned off.
Other mail (yahoo and gmail) both work fine.
Any good ideas?

After setting up Incoming Server it returns an error ”Unable to connect to server –ERR Authentication failed)”
I never get beyond this.
