Testing inbound emails

[cgchris99]

I have installed V4.0 on a test server.
I have create two users and one inbound mailbox.(pop3)
I have also created the crontab job (not sure if it is working)

How do I know if it is request mail from the mailbox I created?

The "test" under mailbox creation just shows One Moment please and then shows a Close Window

I never see any mail appear anywhere.

See this thread for what I want to accomplish..

Did the popup screen ever show "INBOX" or something like that? Or did it just have the title text and the "Close" button?

Hi !

ONLY:
The "test" under mailbox creation just shows One Moment please and then shows a Close Window !

Not show "INBOX" or something like that!

Thanks,

No, I never do see "Inbox"

With Mac osX, I see with the test "INBOX".
With PC, nothing

Hi guys,

Seems like you guys found another error. If you feel like hacking the code a bit, try the changes below and get back to us with the newer results:

in modules/InboundEmail/InboundEmail.php around line 848:

 ...
function connectMailserver($test=false) {
    error_reporting(0); // turn off notices from IMAP
    $exServ = explode('::', $this->service);
... 
  

add "global $mod_strings;" so that it looks like:

 ...
function connectMailserver($test=false) {
global $mod_strings;
    error_reporting(0); // turn off notices from IMAP
    $exServ = explode('::', $this->service);
... 
  

This should give you some intellible feedback - at least whether the connection succeeded or not.

Sorry about this oversight!

I modified the code per your instructions but when I "test" the settings, I see no changes as far as the test window. It still does not display any new messages.
It doesn't show inbox, or failed or anything.

Hi Chris

I added your code and this is the message I get.

Found the following mailboxes:

INBOX
INBOX.Drafts
INBOX.Sent
INBOX.Trash

I am still not getting any emails in my mailboxes... I switched to port 80 as well.

cheers

Paul,

Are you using IMAP or POP3?

thanks

I don't know why it is not working but I figured out where the problem is.
When I comment out this line
// if($test) { imap_timeout(1, 5); } // set a 5-sec timeout when testing

I see this when I run the test.
------------------------------------------------
Test Settings

Username/Password Mismatch
POP3 connection broken in response
Could not retreive any mailboxes.

Please check your settings and try again.
------------------------------------------------
I changed the user name and password and now see INBOX
I still don't get mail in my group mail box but it's a start.
