Imap and smtp, squrrelmail strange things

last night i had a problem with one of the drives failing on my xserve and causing our raid 1 to degrade. i did a rebuit and after 30 - 40 mins it was done.
this morning i noticed two things: there was an error 22 on the squirrelmail when people tried to login and some cannot connect to imap message. i went in the conf.pl file and changed my imap settings from mail.mydomain.com to localhost. users were then able to login but not being able to send mail until i changed the smtp settings in the squirrelmail conf.pl file from mail.mydomain.com to localhost.
i have not done any changes form last night but stopping all services and turning them back on after rebuild was done.
on top of that computer using both retrospect and other backup software stopped emailing logs last night, which i found even stranger as retrospect uses smtp authentication, the other machine does not but is's ip is added to the allow list.
i am still trying to figure out what is going on. i was successfully able to send telnet and send mail from the machines mentioned and all other clients have no problem sending mail. i am not sure where else to look for the problem.
any help or suggestions are appreciated.
thanks

jeff,
originally i though is mail problem but thanks for pointing me in the dns direction. here is my setup.
i have xserve running mail, web, dns, open directory master windows PDC 192.168.0.4 . i have a second xserve running web, replica and windows backup domain controller and backup dns on 192.168.0.9
i have only made it recently (2 months ago) backup dns and some of the static ip machines still have on old secondary dns ip 192.168.0.2
so my retrospect backup server had 192.168.0.4 and 192.168.0.2 but in the retrospect event handler had mail.mydomain.com for smtp server. i just changed that to the ip of the mail server 192.168.0.4 and ran retrospect and got the email which means that i DO have dns issues. i have not changed anything on my dns settings so it really bugs me out (at least i do not remember changing anything
i think i am gonna turn the dns services off on the backup dns xserve and see if i will get the same results.
the command you ask me to enter did gave this output
192.168.0.4
192.168.0.2
i will change the secondary dns to the new secondary dns ip but that should not matter, should it?
my other server is sgi irix and did gibe same output. is the resolv.conf file the one i want to edit if i want to change my dns server settings of the client?
my dns server (xserve) also had the two old ips 192.168.0.4 and 192.168.0.2 but i changed that last to 192.168.0.9. do you think that would have mattered? it has been like this all along ...
should i be loking on the dns server config to see if anything strange?
thanks for your help.

Ovi Mail IMAP and SMTP servers constantly down

I'm reading my ovi.com emails with a Lumia smartphone and with Outlook. I constantly fail to connect to the IMAP and SMTP server and thereby do not get or cannot send emails. Webmail works fine, but especially sending emails from Outlook or from Lumia is currently impossible. Mails just get stuck to the outbox folder and both Outlook and phone keep asking for the password, as if my password was wrong.
This has happened randomly after the Yahoo transfer, but now it is happening on daily basis. I haven't been able to send emails from my Lumia in a week. The settings both in Outlook and in Lumia are correct, have checked several times. Usually when I leave my phone alone for a night, in the morning it has synced the inbox, but not the Outbox.
Anyone have similar problems?

Ok.. if you guys have a final configuration please share...
I spent all morning and this after over 30min chat with nokia care support... final answer? they told me to contact Yahoo!
In the meantime, I also contacted nokia through tweeter and they were like: .. but nokiamail has been deactivated! I found it strange because my last income email on my cel was on Aug13... and I can still access nokiamail through webpage (www.nokiamail.com) so it´s not dead.
I´m using my name on the site as ******@ovi.com (cool, right?) but I want to have access to it on my ipad and another cel...thx for any help!

11 e-mail accounts from different providers are suddenly giving me errors saying they can't connect to IMAP and SMTP server?

I have 11 e-mail accounts that was working fine a minute ago, but now they all say that they can't connect to the IMAP and SMTP servers.
They all work fine on my iphone.
How should i troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, restarted for the third or fourth time, and now it works...
Perhaps it was a time-issue.

How to enable logging of IMAP and SMTP connections in Mail

I have set up my own mail server and am able to send and receive mail. However, I would like to enable SSL security for connections from the client application to the mail server. I have created certificate authority, created a root certificate, and created an SSL certificate and key for the server. However, every time I connect, I get a warning message that the certificate is not valid - but the host names and domain names are correct in the certificate and match in the error message. It appears that there is some other problem with the certificate that is not reported in the dialog.
I would like to turn on logging in Mail.app to try to find out what is happening as the connection is made and TLS is enabled to find out why the certificate is being rejected. What options exist for logging SMTP and IMAP connections in mail? How can I find the logging options - should I look for strings in the binary or a resource file?

You cannot log only those changes but you can log *all* changes.
The messages 111008 and 111010 are the ones to look for (as described in this post).

IMAP and SMTP forwarding?

Hello,
We have IMAP set up with Unity Connection 7 and I am wondering if there is a way to get a copy of the voicemail wav file to forward to our mobile devices?
Any thoughts?
Please let me know.
Thank you.

Vicky,
I just wanted to chime in briefly as Bill and I have worked together for years now...so I'm glad you found that blog useful. In your case, just make sure that the SMTP Smart Host is configured properly. By that I mean the following:
If you are forwarding to a corporate email address then the relay host (i.e., Smart Host) is likely one of the corporate email servers so forwarding to the corporate domain is usually not an issue. However, if the address you are forwarding to is say an internet address (e.g., [email protected]) then the Smart Host needs to be able to forward out to an internet-based (or external) domain.
This may very well already be obvious to you (which is good); however, experience has shown us that's not always the case. Anyway, just a quick little FYI.
Rob - thanks for referencing our blogs as usual. Plus 5 to you, brother. Bill and I both appreciate your support of our participation in the forums.

IMAPS and SMTPS proxy server

Hi,
I come from Germany. We use Lotus Domino in our enterprise. After evaluating Lotus Ultralite we would like to use a imaps/smtps proxy server for email access.
Normaly we would use a Cisco ASA, but there seems to be a problem/incompatility with the iPhone Mail client.
The mail account can be set up on the iPhone and is succesfully verified. But when I try to access my mails I only get an "server not found". The debug log on the ASA shows that the imap server reports an error and quits. I can access my mails with other mail clients like Apple Mail on 10.5.
So I am looking for an alternative. Which proxy server (soft- or hardware) can you recommend?

Hello
I am making HTTPS calls from within my applet code and this works fine using the basic Java Plug-in support for HTTPS.
This means my code basically does:
URL url = new URL("https://myhost.com/servlet/Test");
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
etc..
We are using Java 1.4.2. I've read in the "How HTTPS Works in Java Plug-in" for 1.3, that the plugin uses the browsers API for making HTTPS connections. Is this still the case for 1.4?
My basic problem is that it all works fine if the browser is NOT configured to use a proxy server. If a proxy server is configured we get the following Exception in the client:
java.io.IOException: Unable to tunnel through proxy. Proxy returns "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request ( The data is invalid. )"
I have read that "Sun's Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) library allows you to access a secure Web server from behind a firewall via proxy tunnelling. However, JSSE expects the proxy's reply to the tunnelling request to begin with "HTTP 1.0"; otherwise, it throws an IOException" (http://www.javaworld.com/javatips/jw-javatip111_p.html)
The article talks about using the JSSE library but it seems to be assuming the client is an application not an applet.
How do I use JSSE from within an applet if all the proxy information I seem to need to set in the JSSE code is held by the browser?
Will JSSE support proxies returning responses beginning HTTP 1.1 in the future?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
mark

Re: BigPond settings for POP, IMAP and SMTP
I am have trouble with Apple: they claim that because I have not physically changed my email address they won't "accept" it! (it's same one that I have had for the past 5years),
I am also unable to log on using the email address & password that I have for past 12 months!
Can I change my email address and password, when I have time (during business hours), regards Eric

Best way to set up pop and smtp server?

Hey there,
i am digging arch ! i am using arch to host both a home network, and a couple of websites for friends. But here is what i want to do. i would like to host an email server also. so my website name can be my email address also , you know, [email protected]
what is the easiest solution to set up an email server ? i have read some stuff on exim, and the arch wiki for courrier, but it looks a bit intimidating.. i remember from me ol debian days, that debian uses exim by default, but i never used it.
where is the best place to get started, i dont need a lot of features, just something that works and can be configured for maybe a half dozen users.
any suggestions ?
thanks

IMAP and SMTP are different things.
SMTP is simple mail transfer protocol - it's just a protocol to transport email from host to host
IMAP is internet message access protocol - it's a protocol to retrieve your email, one in which the messages are stored on the remote server (unlike POP where all the messages are downloaded locally)
IMAP is nice because it allows for access to your mail from any client (and can be used for web based email rather than something like Thunderbird or Sylpheed)
Hula has both (along with POP)...

Strange thing with ExternalInterface when profiling

Hello.
I use Scout for analyze application and found out strange thing with ExternalInterface:
I regularly get some overheads with ExternalInterface._evalJS. But I don't any explicit calls of ExternalInterface.call during this overheads. Does it mean that ExternalInterface make internal interactions during flash player lifecycle, or something else?

From the screenshot, it looks like you've registered an anonymous function as the callback for a "timer" event (the "MethodInfo-xxx" is an auto-generated name that Flash gives to anonymous functions), and this function is calling into ExternalInterface. It's your code (or possibly that of a framework you're using) - not internal Flash player functionality.

Strange thing whith MuVo

IMAP/Gmail/Mail.app strangeness: what am I doing wrong?

I have two IMAP accounts on Gmail servers, one through my university and the other being my personal domain with Dreamhost.
When mail is received on both accounts, it does not always go into the respective inboxes. Rather, it is directed to the respective "All Mail" folders, both in Mail.app and the Gmail web client. Therefore, most new mail does not actually register as new mail, and I receive neither visual indication of new mail from the Dock icon, nor the audio indication of the new mail sound.
Aside from enabling IMAP access for both accounts, I have made no changes to the default Gmail configurations. I haven't added any folders that could have caused this, and I'm not using any smart folders in Mail.app. I'm using the standard mailbox configurations in Mail.app, with the default Gmail IMAP and SMTP servers and password auth.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I am having the exact same problem with my Macbook Pro, all of a sudden the password started rejecting and I cannot use that gmail account. This appears to be a bug. The quick fix was to set up another gmail account and forward the mail from the old gmail account to the new gmail account that works with the IMAP service. This way the mail from the gmail account with the rejected password will still come through and appear in MAIL.
