POP & IMAP Configuration

Hi,
I have two email accounts self configured to my iPhone one for my Yahoo and one for My home email, on receiving an email to my Yahoo to my iPhone reading and deleting meant it would disappear from my online Yahoo Mail account, but for my home email address on my iPhone it would also send and keep a copy on my computers email even when deleted from my iPhone, this was handy as a designer as some emails would contain images that I would need to use within Photoshop but recently I noticed that when I opened an email on my iPhone for my home account it would no longer send it to my home email as well so I would then have to forward it to my home and this would take forever? Why did it just decide to change after months of doing it the other way?
Any suggestions?

IMAP is inferior to POP for a lot of business applications. It's not really correct to say IMAP is better than POP, they are different methods with different feature sets. With IMAP there's no ability to store a message on the server if you download, then it is deleted on a client. This can be a disaster when you have multiple people monitoring the same email, or you are using multiple devices. Once accidental misclick archive filing for example while on your iPhone can cause your desktop not to receive the mail, or not be filtered properly. Many business depend on this for orders, customer service, and general communication. IMAP cannot be trusted, even with myself as a developer. Using IMAP is like relying on interns at Pixar to use Unix commands perfectly and not delete the feature film with a late night brainfart.
When you receive a lot of email, things get overlooked, and IMAP has been the root of more than one catastrophe in my life. The main upside to IMAP is that you can manage the space of email, but this is 2013, and my entire mail archive since 1994 is less than 50gb. I think space doesn't matter much anymore, better to be safe with pop, than sorry. I might get my email 1-5 minutes later having to fetch it instead of being pushed, but that's ok considering the consequences of the alternative. Email is not designed to be an instant thing anyway.
It's annoying gmail defaults to IMAP in Apple mail now, but not in IOS. Makes no sense.

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.

Installation of Client Access role fails on Windows Server 2008 R2 (Execution of: "$error.Clear(); Install-ExchangeCertificate -services "IIS, POP, IMAP")

Hello
I am trying to install Exchange Server 2010 beta 1 onto a Windows Server 2008 R2 (build 7000) machine which has also been set up as a domain controller.
However when attempting to install the Client Access role, setup fails with the error below.
Does anyone know of a way to get around this please?
I have already searched for this error and not found any similar threads.
Also every time I press the code button on this forum it crashes the browser and I keep losing the message! (IE8 from within Server R2). Also the message box is very small, will not expand and keeps jumping to the top.
Thanks
Robin

Hello
Thanks for all the replies.
I have since wiped the system and installed everything again and it all worked this time so not sure what was wrong last time. I did try to uninstall all Exchange components and then uninstall IIS and Application server, reboot and re-install but I received the same error still when it came to installing the client access role.
Walter: I just attempted the standard installation which should have used the default self-signed certificate. Everything was a fresh install done at the same time on a freshly formatted PC.
For info last time when it failed to work:
- Installed Windows Server 2008 R2
- Installed Domain Controller role using dcpromo. I set the forest and domain as Windows Server 2008 R2
- Added a forest trust between main domain and test Exchange domain (set up as ex2010.local)
- Installed IIS and Application Server role
- Installed Hyper-v role
- Installed Desktop Experience feature
- Installed Exchange and recieved the error
When it worked I set up the forest and domain in Windows Server 2008 mode (i.e. not R2), installed Exchange first and then set up the forest trust and then Hyper-v. It did say it failed to configure dns which was probably because it started trying to do automatic updates half way through the dcpromo! DNS seems to work ok though.
I did notice this time that Hyper-v gave a warning about the virtual network adapter not being set up correctly and the local network did not work correctly although I could access the internet. Not sure if this could have been related to the cause of the problem previously. For now I have disabled the virtual network until I get time to try and get it working and so the mail will work in the meantime.
I also noticed that Hyper-v added an extra 443 ssl binding to the default website so as it had 2 bindings on port 443 it refused to start. After deleting one it worked.
I decided to install Exchange onto a domain controller as it is only a test and I wouldn't do it in a live environment. I am also short of test machines! It didn't give me any warnings about this actually, I think previous versions warn you that it is not recommended.
Andreas and Chinthaka: I did not know about the requirement to run the domain at 2003 mode. The main domain is running in 2008 mode with Exchange 2007 so I assume this is just a temporary beta related requirement. It does seem to be working (second attempt) so far in a 2008 mode domain although I haven't had a chance to fully test it yet.
Thanks
Robin
P.S. Sorry it's taken me a while to reply!

Hello,
There may be configuration problem.
I suggest you run the cmdlet “ get-receiveconnector | fl to check authentication and permission groups on client frontend receive connector.
On server side, the configuration as following.
==========================================
Transport Layer Security (TLS) --> enabled
Basic Authentication --> enabled with "Offer Basic auth only after TLS" enabled
Integrated Windows authentication --> enabled
On client side, the correct configuration as following.
===================================================
Incoming POP3 server --> port 995, SSL required
Outgoing SMTP server --> port 587, TLS encryption enabled
Outgoing mail server (SMTP) requires authentication enabled, “Use same settings as my incoming mail server” enabled

POP server configuration

Hi.
How can I modify the server POP and MAIL addresses and ports to configure my mail connection? I know there are advanced parameters but only accessible once you have already make initial setup.
Thanks

Hi again!
I'm actually not certain that you can accomplish what you need. See this KB for the screens you should see in the advanced configuration:
KB10154 How to integrate a POP or IMAP email account through advanced integration
And see this for the supported ports for POP/IMAP email:
KB05333 Supported email account protocols for BlackBerry Internet Service

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

When creating Certificate request what settings for POP IMAP

when Creating a request for Certificate POP and IMAP are in the list along with autodiscover etc
default value is Server Host name ie. EXCH2013
what should these be set to ?
I'm configuring remote.mydomain.com - should I set these to remote.mydomain.com ?
JK

it depends... you can set up same name as your SMTP service or if you want different name for pop/IMAP like webmail or smthing else then you can go for that.
I generally use the same as enabling POP/IMAP is very less required on ex so i just enable the service keeping the URL same so that you save or SSL name also
MARK AS USEFUL/ANSWER IF IT DID
Thanks

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:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771151(v=ws.10).aspx

POP/IMAP issue Exchange 2013

Hi,
I have started the migration of Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. Exchange 2010 is single server with all roles and Exchange 2013 with 1 CAS and 1 Mailbox. Initially plan was to verify the Windows XP users can connect with Exchange 2013 but there was a lot
of issues and stop XP machines migration. Windows 7 machines are working perfectly without any issue.
Now decided to configure POP/IMAP on XP machines. The test of incoming POP/IMAP is fine and receiving emails from internal to external domains but the SMTP is giving error
Send test e-mail: Your server does not support the connection encryption type specified. Try changing the encryption method. Contact the administrator of the mail server or Internet service provider for further assistance.
Can some guide what I am missing during the configuration.
Thanks

My clients can login to SMTP but not POP/IMAP

My 10.5 Server died and I'm migrating my mail clients to another server with 10.6 Server. This server has been running for a while but without any mail services. I turned on Mail Services and am adding my mail clients to the user list. I have many virtual domains.
Here is the problem. I took my preexisting admin account and added mail access to it, and my account works fine: SMTP, IMAP, POP, Webmail.
But for all the clients I just added, they can only send mail through the server, authenticating as themselves. POP/IMAP/Webmail all give "Unknown user or password incorrect" errors.
I have seen this problem before on 10.5 and was never able to resolve it. Anyone have any ideas?
Also previously on 10.4 and 10.5 I entered accounts manually using the POSTFIX VIRTUAL techniques from pterobyte. (http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/45/62/). This worked well for me in the past, anyone have an opinion whether I should utilize this technique instead on 10.6?
Thanks,
Daniel

So, it seems if I let the users "Administrate the server" then they can check their mail successfully.
Seems like it would imply a permissions issue, maybe?
Weird. Can't leave the server like this, but its a clue...

OS X Mail Services Crippled. POP/IMAP Show Disabled

POP, IMAP and Mailing Lists all show Disabled even though all are Checked ON in Settings.
Using SA.
Have tried stopping/starting/unchecking/saving/starting/stopping, all to no avail.
It all started when I tried to turn on SMTP authentication and then turned it off again.
I obviously screwed something up, but what/where.
I see cyrus erros in the System log. Exit with code 75, respawning too quickly.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Mail & notes. POP, IMAP?

I use POP for Mail on my MacBook Pro. I want to be able to delete emails from my phone without deleting them from the server, so I use POP on my iPhone 5S, too.
After I finished setting up my email accounts, I noticed that after each account name, Settings says "Mail," rather than "Mail, Notes."
Will my Notes sync across devices with POP email setups?

Yes, I am doing just that, but earlier when I would press START, it would give me the menu seen in the image above.
1] OVI by Nokia
2] Yahoo!
3] Gmail
4] Hotmail
.... etc.
Now I get only
1] Mail for Exchange
2] POP / IMAP
3] Lotus notes Traveler
No Yahoo, Gmail, options. So even if I fill the username and password, I can't download the mails.

IPad 2 mail does not allow a gmail imap configuration. Why?

iPad 2 mail does not allow a gmail imap configuration. Why?

It does, but you can do better then that. You can set gmail as exchange, it will give you even more options.
The only thing that you need to know additional to regular stuff, is that instead of gmail you have to use Microsoft Exchange, and the name of google server is m.google.com. Instructions right here.
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740

Can you please help fix imap configuration so it will work?

I have tried every scenario I can think of to get the imap to work and incoming is working fine, but outgoing is not working.
I use register.com to host my email and from their site they have the following imap configuration settings
Incoming IMAP mail server: mail.exampledomain.com
Secure Password Authentication: NO
Incoming IMAP port number: 143
Outgoing SMTP mail server: mail.exampledomain.com
Outgoing SMTP server requires authentication: YES
Use same settings as Incoming Mail Server: YES
Outgoing port number: 25 or 5125 or 587
Can you please assist with getting this set up so I can send emails? I've tried all the outgoing port numbers...using SSL/TLS, STARTTTLS and using normal password and encrypted password.
Emma

IMAP is incoming mail so why do you want that fixed if it is working.
SMTP settings are what control outgoing messages.
The people that know the correct server settings for their mail servers will be your email provider. Ask them for the correct server settings and place them in Thunderbird.
The SMTP settings are found at '''Tools-Account Settings-Outgoing Server (SMTP)'''
Use the edit button to make changes.
As a general rule port 25 is insecure and does not use SSL/TLS if it is supported at all. Most reliable providers have turned this port off.
From my experience port 587 is looking for a STARTTLS command but your provider would have the real answer.
Very few providers support encrypted passwords and normal password is the norm.
Again only your provider knows how their system is set up. The first line of help desk agents will generally be clueless about any of this. Ask for someone that actually knows something.
