Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options

Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options.
Is this due to my Hosting Plan? Appreciate any answers.

Your site is a CCM site which is on a WebBasics plan (This plan does not provide hosted emails on Business Catalyst).
If you want to create email addresses on this site, you would need to setup your email server elsewhere and configure the MX records on your site to point to that external mail server.
If you want to use Business Catalyst's hosted email services you would need to use a WebBasics+ or higher siteplan. To upgrade your CCM free site, Access your site's admin area -> Site Management -> Upgrade Now -> choose the desired site plan and billing frequency -> Add personal and credit card details -> Submit.
Please refer this article about setting up email accounts on your BC site: http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users
For setting up records to point to external mail server, check out http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users/creating-inboxes- for-your-users

API to Fetch email using SMTP from EXCHANGE server.

Hi There,
We have a customer requirement to fetch e-mails from his EXCHANGE server using SMTP. Our application currently supports fetching e-mail using POP, IMAP.
POP and IMAP is disabled in customer environment and there is no way enable them to fetch e-mails.
Please help me to solve this problem by pointing to some APIs available or code.
I searched but not able to find a solution for this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Krish.

SMTP is generally, almost strictly used for sending mail not fetching.
I understand that they may not be able to use IMAP or POP, as some rented Exchange services block IMAP,POP services so they can ensure the client is sticking to the Exchange product line etc.
Perhaps you could find a Exchange library for Java? im sure there is one about. There are OpenSource solutions for exchange out there as Linux applications like evolution can communicate with Exchange. I beilve the protocol used in Exchange is MAPI? (or SAPI?)
Another solution would be to just use the clients mail client to export the emails to a more portable format (MBOX? or a folder of EMS files) then import them into Java using InputStreams on the files?
Or, Get an opensource Exchange compatible server software, eGroupware springs to mind, set that up as a proxy or a go-between. set it up to retrieve mail from the Exchange server and enable its POP and IMAP functions and retrieve the mail from it.
Either way Im near 100% certain SMTP is not for fetching mail.

Email Sender's display name not displaying/resolving on internal emails with POP/IMAP clients

Here's the scenario. I have two 2013 test accounts setup in Outlook as POP/SMTP accounts. I have their name setup as initials in the outlook account (the "Your Name" field). If I send an email (Through SMTP) to a 2013 Exchange(Outlook
Anywhere) client, their names resolve to their actual Display Name in the GAL which is correct. Now if I send an email to another 2013 POP/IMAP user, their name shows what is setup in Outlook which is their initials which is not correct.
Now we are currently in the process of a 2007 to 2013 migration. I do not see this behavior on the Exchange 2007 side with POP/IMAP clients. If I run the same test setup with a 2007 mailbox as the recipient, the sender's name resolves to
their GAL display name and NOT the name configured in the Outlook Account settings. It doesn't matter whether the sender is a 2007 or 2013 account. As long as the recipient is on 2007 it works fine.
This is all tested using authenticated SMTP. The only difference I can tell is that the 2007 servers resolve the name before delivering it to the inbox where the 2013 servers don't.
There aren't any GAL or Address Book related issues on the 2013 side. Full exchange clients or OWA work correctly.

Hi,
It seems to be related to the permission settings on the receive connector. For example, using a Receive Connector for Anonymous Relay. We can refer to this article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996395(v=exchg.141).aspx
And we can use the tool Dsacls to check the permissions:

Configure Sendmail using POP/IMAP

Hello !
I need some consise and comprehensive help/tutorial or material/reference of any sort, as to how to configure Mail service using Sendmail and POP/IMAP service.
I would be highly obliged!

I take it that you want to get personal email while at work which may or may not be okay with your company policy - but that's for you to decide.
A way around it.
I use Oceanic Time Warner RoadRunner as an ISP and it has an option that allows me to access and send email when I am on the road called Web Mail that is accessed from my browser home page (RoadRunner). Mail won't allow you to access your normal mail except for viewing not sending messages when you're not in your local area, so Web Mail takes the place of using Mail. I access it through http.
Your email provider should have something similar with a web address as long as you can access it through your computer at work.

Using POP/IMAP Mail inside company firewall

The IT at my work place blocks all ports except 80 and 443.
Can I use POP/IMAP accounts over HTTP or HTTPS?

Sending email using PL/SQL based on a query result

Hello all,
I want to create a procedure using PL/SQL, based on a query result.Here is the scenario:
I have multiple tables in Target and Source databases that I want to compare(not the whole table but queries on these tables) and if they differ, I want to shoot an email. I have some ideas how to implement this but not sure whether it is the best approach.
select Acct_id, total from SourceTableA
minus
select Acct_id, total from TargetTableA
select Acct_id, sum from SourceTableB
minus
select Acct_id, sum from TargetTableB
If the result of any of above queries > 0 then I want to shoot an email and want to repeat this procedure in the morning every day.
I know how to implement send_mail procedure using UTL_SMTP package and how to schedule tha job by dbms_job package. But I am not sure how to implement the result of minus query. In case if minus > 0 then I also want to send the name of tables in the email message where source and target tables are not same. Should i use cursor, variable or insert the result in a new table? any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Khan

Actually these queries are the part of our daily testing that we run everyday manually(after the scheduled ETL load) to see if there are any discrepencies between our datawarehouse tables and source tables. So instead of running these queries manually everyday we want to schedula a procedure that will shoot an email in case of any discrepency and indicate which tables have problems.

How to send email using pl/sql containing the result set as the msg body

Hi.. im using Pl/SQL code to send emails to the users from a dataset that is obtained in a databse table. i have used utl_smtp commands to establish the connection with the smtp mail server. im stuck at the logic when i have to include the message body which is actually the result set of a table.. For instance
IF (p_message = 0) THEN
UTL_SMTP.write_data(l_mail_conn, 'There is no mismatch between the codes' || UTL_TCP.crlf);
ELSE
UTL_SMTP.write_data(l_mail_conn, 'The missing codes are ' || UTL_TCP.crlf);
for s in (select * from temp)
loop
UTL_SMTP.write_data(l_mail_conn, ' ' ||s || UTL_TCP.crlf);
end loop;
END IF;
UTL_SMTP.close_data(l_mail_conn);
UTL_SMTP.quit(l_mail_conn);
END;
***p_message is a prameter passed to this procedure..
Can i obtain the result in the form i have it in my table. which has three columns. I want to display the three columns as it is with teh records. ?

this is not related about this forum but you can use below,
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SEND_MAIL (subject varchar2,mail_from varchar2, mail_to varchar2,mail_msg varchar2)
IS
mail_host varchar2(30):='XXXXX';
mail_conn utl_smtp.connection;
tz_offset number:=0;
str varchar2(32000);
BEGIN
begin
select to_number(replace(dbtimezone,':00'))/24 into tz_offset from dual;
exception
when others then
null;
end;
mail_conn:=utl_smtp.open_connection(mail_host, 25);
utl_smtp.helo(mail_conn,mail_host);
utl_smtp.mail(mail_conn,'[email protected]');
utl_smtp.rcpt(mail_conn,mail_to);
utl_smtp.open_data(mail_conn);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_conn,'Date: '||to_char(sysdate-tz_offset,'dd mon yy hh24:mi:ss')||utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_conn,'From: '|| mail_from ||utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_conn,'To: "'|| mail_to ||'" <'||mail_to||'>'||utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_conn,'Subject: '||subject||utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_conn,utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_conn,replace_turkish_chars(mail_msg)||utl_tcp.crlf);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_conn,utl_tcp.crlf);

Reply address: is it possible to use another reply address other than the pop address used in my account. I have a special work account and would like to send emails with that address as my reply address...or sent from address

i found out how to do this finally!
1) set up google gmail account to forward your emails to (from the [email protected])
2) go to your gmail account
3) go to settings (cog in right hand corner)
4) go to 'accounts and import'
5) go to 'send mail as'
6) click 'Add another email address you own' - add your [email protected] address
7) google will send a verification email with code to that email address.
8) enter code
9) go back to gmail account >'send mail as' and select 'make default'
10) close mac 'mail' program and reopen it.
as long as you have gmail account selected as the primary account in MAIL - mail will now come throught as being sent from that [email protected] address!!

Send Email using Execute SQL Task??????

I need to send the bad records in the data flow. I am attempting to do this using Execute SQL Tasks. Please give me steps I need to accomplish this. I have not set any variables up yet, assuming I need too.

Just add a Send mail Task (or Script Task if using gmail etc which requires authentication) and pass the file as an attachment. Make sure you've a step (Script Task) to check if file length > 0 (ie file has records) before you link it to Send mail Task
ie use a conditional precedence constraint (Expression And Constraint option)

I am having an issue using OS X Mail for email via IMAP

Hi there. I am trying to use OS X Mail to set up email via IMAP for Business Catalyst email, but I am getting an error when trying to connect to the IMAP server on port 143. The Mail application connection doctor points to the incoming mail server as the problem. SMTP seems to connect just fine. I have also tried to connect via multiple ISPs and am getting the same issue. All of my setup information looks to be just fine. Any suggestions? I am using OS X 10.9.3.

I am having the same issue with Mac Mail — Version 7.3 (1878.6) running OS 10.9.4. All of the settings look correct with the correct ports, servers, and no SSL. I've not been able to find a solution elsewhere online.
