 Can you set up more than one IMAP connection (multiple computers) to one account? I tried this, perhaps i did something wrong. I have an office computer and a new laptop... i am using Outlook 365 on a Win 8 machine. Thanks in advance for any advice. Stuart There are none so blind as those that will not see. |
That is what IMAP is for. It keeps the mail on the server and you access the mail on the server from any device you have access to. I use Dovecot for the IMAP server; Postfix for the email server. Geeks, making the world a better place |
Interesting. I am getting my email on my main computer 'locking up' every time I try to connect my laptop using IMAP. Pop3 does not work either. I am on a Zarconia shared server. Geek girl, thanks for your reply. Stuart There are none so blind as those that will not see. |
First step is to make sure you can send and receive emails with your mail server; sendmail, postfix, whatever. Once the mail server is working, then attack the IMAP server. The hardest part for me was the authentication so that users could send mail from their remote devices; laptop, tablet, phone, etc. It all appeared correct but still was refusing relaying. Finally after wasting a day with it I chucked all the configuration and dump the keys and started over. It worked perfectly and I had no idea what was wrong with the first; my guess is it was the keys; I generated self-signed keys using OpenSSL. Geeks, making the world a better place |
