How Receiving Incoming Email works?

Hi I would like to know how receiving incoming email works?  SharePoint supports incoming emails for library/calendar
list/discussion
board/announcements
list   I did whole setup to receive incoming emails but what i am not still clear is , do I need to request separate email ID in AD for each type of list/library/discussion board??  I learnt we need to specify drop folder name while SMTP
configuration from there all .EML msgs will be routed to respective library/list, but my question is how that get routed.  I know there is "SP incoming receiving emil" timer job which runs every minute or so and picksup .eml msg but how does
it route to respective library/list.  Will it be possible to have single incoming receiving emaild ID for all resources OR do I need to have one-one mapping of email ID for each library/list.  Please let me know if you aware or any article or guide. 
In summary , For example if i have 10 lists to enable to receive incoming emails then do i need to have 10 email IDs created in AD&Exchange or can it be done using single emailID in AD but manipulate it either domain level or exchange level.  
Perhaps I could think some segratation based on some metadata but user may not fallow the same while they send email. ( user could send mails with subject , w/o subject...otherwise i was thinking some email template as alternative but the solution i am more
interested in , will it be possible to segrate emails based exchange settings or AD settings while having single email ID for all . 

Hello,
You don't need to create emails for each lists . You have required only one email id and by using that you can configure Incoming email setting in Sharepoint.
For the same you can follow below steps . 
1) Open Sharepoint Central Administration. 
2) Navigate to to System Sttings ->Configure incoming e-mail settings.
and do the below settings
Enable sites on this server to receive e-mail? -> Yes
Settings mode: -> Automatic
Use the SharePoint Directory Management Service to create distribution groups and contacts? -> No
E-mail server display address: -> youremailserver.domain.com, this is the default
Safe E-Mail Servers -> Accept mail from all e-mail servers
I hope this will help you to resolve your problem .

  • Upgraded to Mountain Lion a week ago suddenly unable to receive incoming emails from Mail.6

    Upgraded to Mountain Lion a week ago.  Suddenly unable to receive incoming emails from Mail.6
    Can successfully send outgoing messages. 
    Have completed following tasks to no avail:
    1)          When click on "Take all accounts online" and entering password for gmail / looking at Mail Connection Doctor: Got Green light, Mail was able to connect to the Internet. But…
    "Trying to log in to this Goggle Imap account failed.  Verify username and password are correct."
    I have verified username and password being correct. 
    2)          System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars typed in name, email address & gmail password and got this message.
    "Unable to verify account name and password."
    3)          Mail> preferences>account>password.  Confirmed correct password, name, email address and imap "address" Then to Advanced & confirmed correct port . Restarted computer.
    "lay person terms" appreciated. 
    Thanks!

    Found solution, Yeay!   No coincidence.  Mountain Lion (osx 10.8, upgraded) is not compatible with Gmail if one has 2-step verification set up on their gmail security settings. 
    There are 2 options to solving problem
    1)   https://discussions.apple.com/message/19109209#19109209) 
    This will take you through the process to disable 2-step security feature on gmail security page. Thank You  iPatA.
    2)   http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=ch_b/0/SmsAuthConfig& answer=185833
    This will take you through the process of assigning an "application specific password" to upgraded Mail 6.0 for successful communication between Mail 6.0 Mountain Lion while keeping a 2 step verification process if you prefer. 
    Thanks for you energy & effort rkaufmann87.
    Sincerely, much appreciated.

  • My Ipad Air and my Iphone have both stopped receiving incoming emails.   What do I do?emails.

    My Ipad air and my iphone 4s stopped receiving incoming email messages.  What do I do.

    Thats a tough one, I've gone through many transfers for my computers or friends computers, have only seen this one time.  I can only make a couple suggestions of what I'd do not that its the "best practice" or anything like that but my best results ended up being a TimeMachine transfer but I do need to find out more info.
    What OSX is running on your former machine and whats on your new machine?
    When was the last time you used your Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions or Repair Disk on your old machine?
    Its always a good idea to do the above steps and also make sure you're running the latest version of that particular OSX whatever that may be.  I started using TimeMachine with an external USB drive which seemed to be the most productive for me but does have the same result if migrating from an older Mac.
    Hope this helps somewhat

  • How to use JavaMail to receive incomming email?

    Hello,
    I am a year 3 student and doing a final year project about web hosting.
    I want to know how to use JavaMail to receive and treat the incomming email. It means that the incoming email how to process and store the "message" in the recipient "folder" in the "store" class.
    If you have any optinions or examples or suggestion, please contact me.
    Thank you for your attention....

    First, it would be better to post questions about JavaMail in the JavaMail forum and not in the JSP forum.
    Second, the JavaMail download comes with a set of examples, including some that cover exactly what you ask.

  • After upgrading to Lion from Snow Leopard, mail server does not receive incoming email

    After upgrading my server last night [2011.07.20] from Snow Leopard to Lion, my mail server settings went belly up.  After toying around with the server, its certificates and what-not, I was able to get it running, but it is no longer receiving any emails [neither internally nor from Gmail, Yahoo, etc.].
    I can send emails via SMTP just fine [using SSL] to external email accounts [and it doesn't complain when I address an email to an internal email account, but I can't verify that it's sending it to the internal email account because it won't receive!].
    The Connection Doctor says that it is indeed connecting properly to the server [incoming = IMAP, outgoing = SMTP], so there is communication between Mail 5.0 [and also Thunderbird as well] and the mail server.  The problem appears to be the mail server not receiving any emails - from internal or external addresses.
    Anyone else having this problem or know of a fix for it?
    Thanks!

    Did you find a solution to this issue?  My mail server is doing the same thing.  I've tried six migrations now, and have a couple of tickets open, but they all have issues.  I have worked around all of them except the mail server problem.
    I did some more digging; the problem appears to be that on a migrated server, it leaves all of your mail store in the old location, doesn't move it, and then doesn't appear to upgrade spam-assassin properly.  The net effect is that the mail server gets the SMTP communication, tries to pass the message into spam assassin, and then it goes south.
    I see errors like this littered in the logs:
    Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed:
    Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: No such file or directory
    Do you see anything similar?

  • Can't receive incoming email

    can't receive incoming emails

    I posted this in someone else's question, but it answers the same problem.  I just discovered this last night, so I'm hoping I can help other folks having the same issue!!   
    Question for you... do you use Outlook to retrieve your emails on a desktop PC?  If so, then you're probably clearing the email server before your Treo can ping it & get your emails.  I finally discovered this on my own after fighting with it for about 4 weeks.  I use Outlook 2007, but would assume the path is somewhat the same for previous versions.  Try this:
    In Outlook, go to: Tools > Account Settings .. click on your email account & click "Change" .. click the "More Settings" button .. go to the Advanced tab .. click the button that says "Leave a copy of messages on the server", and then set the next option to "Remove from server after 2 days".
    That did it for me.  Hope it works for you!!

  • Why l cannot receive incoming emails even if have set all the informations correctly?

    I have bought and registered a new email account, and l have set up all the informations on Mail (also with the technical support of my email provider) and there is no way to receive the emails.
    I can send them in Outbound, but the Inbound id not working.
    YES all the informations provided in Mail are correct!
    My email provider said to contact Mac and ask for clarifications, because there is anything we can do from our end.
    Can anybody explain why? All other accounts are working fine.
    Thank you.

    What email app are you using?
    What isp / mail server company you are using?
    Turn off your firewall.   Perhaps your router in blocking the mail port.

  • Cannot receive incoming email on mini IPad..  Outgoing is fine.

    Have a cox.net email account that I use.  I can send mail on my iPad, but cannot receive incoming mail.. I have checked the stmp settings but still no mail.  What am I missing?

    Have you tried to delete and then re-add the info back? Sometimes the account gets messed up and the easiest way to fix it is to start fresh

  • Since updating my ipad 2 to ios6, I have not been receiving incoming emails from my yahoo account.  I get the message I am not connected to the server.  I have no idea how to fix it.  Any suggestions.

    Since updating my ipad2 to ios 6, I have not been receiving my yahoo email messages.  I went into the yahoo account but the incoming section does not appear, only the outgoing mail.  Any suggestions?

    You may also want to just wait a day or so. There seems to be randomly persistent issues with yahoo mail. NO idea if it's totally tied to iOS6 or not, but Yahoo was having issues before the software upgrade. I went through 2 periods where my 2 separate yahoo accounts wouldn't download mail for about a day or so before it resolved itself.
    I simply went to the main yahoo site, which puts me on the mobile site and accessed my mail via the web in the mean time.

  • TS3276 Beginning on December 23rd I was no longer able to receive incoming emails on my computer.  They appear on the server.  My iphone can retrieve them, but my mail program on my computer can't see them.  I tried deleting and recreating account.  Didn'

    I'd been using the program on the same computer for years.  I've tried just about everything now, backing up my email boxes to my desktop and deleting them, creating a new account and deleting the old one.  I've checked the behaviors.  I've dumped tons of old emails.  Help.  There is one other thing that was happening in the months before that I didn't realize.  As my computer downloaded the incoming files, they were not being erased from the server.  I don't know why.  I hadn't changed any settings.  The Rep from my server company insisted it was that I'd maxed out the program or something was corrupt and recreating the account would help.  It didn't.  When I'd done everything else and backed up everything, I also tried deleting the Cache in the Finder.  No difference.  Help.

    How much mail are we talking about here?  Roughly how many messages, and roughly how many gigabytes of mail?
    Who is the mail provider?  Is this a local provider on a local network, or one of the "free" providers, or something from your ISP?
    Do you have free disk space on your OS X system here, or is it possible that your disk is getting full?
    As for the usual diagnostics for problems with Mail.app, launch Mail.app and select the Connection Doctor from the Window menu, let it run, select More Details, and re-run the tests.  Expunge any personally-identifying information and post the results here, if they don't make the trigger clear.
    You can also try a mailbox repair pass; there's a Rebuild option in the Mail.app menus.
    If the downloads are failing, then the usual trigger is the IMAP or POP password setup; there are two entirely seperate connections and two separate credentials and such; the send path (SMTP) and the receive (IMAP or POP) path.  Usual triggers for problems are changes to the mail servers involved, or the mail ports, or the credentials needed; I've seen vendors change each of those, and forget to mention it to their users.
    That OS X version is extremely old.  (I don't have anything nearly that old to check the details fo the setup of that version; 10.6.8 is the oldest OS X version I have handy.)

  • I cannot receive incoming email but I can send?

    Just got my new iphone 4s today.  I have set up mail accounts for my work emails.  I can send from these accounts but I am not receiving any incoming mail.  All my settings appear to be correct and I have even synced with outlook via itunes but still not joy.
    Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

    Hi, Grandpaintraining.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with mail.  I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

  • Not Receiving Incoming Email from Drop folder

    Hello,
    I hope that someone out there will be able to help me with this issue. I am fairly new to MOSS2007 but belive that I have configured e-mail to list correctly, I followed the steps set out by Steve Smith
    http--www.combined-knowledge.com-Downloads-How%20to%20configure%20Email%20Enabled%20Lists%20in%20Moss2007%20RTM%20using%20Exchange%202003.pdf
    The process all follows fine and when I attempt to send to a configured mail enables list I can see the mail make it to the drop folder as it should. This is where the problem occurs, it is never picked up by the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service. The e-mail's I send just sit in the drop folder and nothing is happening.
    As this is a fairly simple thing to setup there isn't a great deal of troubleshooting info out there and most of it just says check the basics like making sure that in the central administration console>Incomming Mail Settings the drop folder is specified as C:\inetpub\mailroot\drop (which it is)
    I've been through the event logs and those created by sharepoint but can't see anything that looks like an error causing this issue and nothing in the applications logs either. I'm in limbo at the moment because so far as I can see I have setup correctly, mail delivery is succesful and nothing to suggest what is causing the issue.
    I have reset the permissions on the drop folder to grant full access to the service account that runs the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service, I have even added the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service account to the domain administrators group to try and make sure its not a permissions issue.
    Any advise would be appreciated because I've ran out of idea's now!?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Did you select “Directory Management Service” option, if so, please make sure you configure the Central Administration application pool identity account to have the Create, delete, and manage user accounts right to the container that you specify in Active Directory.
    Did you install Exchange server 2003 in your MOSS environment? If so, you should add an SMTP connector in Exchange Server, if you don’t know how to do that, you can post your issue into the following forum:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrdeploy/threads
    Also, please check whether your configuration meet the following requirements, If not, correct them and check the effect.
    ·         The application pool account for Central Administration, the logon account for the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service, and the application pool accounts for your Web applications should have the correct permissions to the e-mail drop folder.
    ·         The domain controller running Active Directory has a Mail Exchanger (MX) entry in DNS Manager for the mail server that you plan to use for incoming e-mail.

  • TS3899 I am receiving incoming emails on my iphone5, but my replies sit in the out box for days.  I have checked the IP address, etc and that all seems to be correct.  Any suggestions please?

    I recently purchased an iphone 5. 
    All the settings have been copied over from my MacPro and all seems to be working fine EXCEPT for out going emails. 
    Emails come in even when I am out at work, but can I reply - NO - replies sit in the out box for days and then suddenly disappear.  I have check all the settings and they seems fine.  I have tried turning off the wireless and turning it back on.  Some time that works. 
    Why am unable to send emails even when I am at home near my router?  
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

    OK, that at least means that you won't have to start from scratch again;-)
    You could try to re-install only the SyncServices.framework framework since that seems to be broken or corrupt - using Pacifist, you can re-install only parts of the original system from your original disks.
    Another approach would be to re-install the latest system update - this is probably the easier solution and might already be enough:
