imap.gmail.com without SSL???

[pdaalder]

Hi all

-- Original topic --
I know there are some smart people here ;-). I'm trying to get around the SSL of gmail. Basically the company that host my site (bluehost.com), don't support IMAP-SSL. :-(


Any idea how (without installing software on the server, it is not my server) I can go around the SSL problem?

I found out that my host does provide IMAP-SSL:
Configure Command './configure' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-exif' '--enable-fastcgi' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-libxml' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-maintainer-zts' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-pdo=shared' '--enable-soap' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-zip' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl=/opt/curlssl/' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-gd' '--with-gettext' '--with-imap=/opt/php_with_imap_client/' '--with-imap-ssl=/opt/openssl' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-kerberos' '--with-libdir=lib64' '--with-libexpat-dir=/usr' '--with-libxml-dir=/opt/xml2' '--with-libxml-dir=/opt/xml2/' '--with-mcrypt=/opt/libmcrypt/' '--with-mhash=/opt/mhash/' '--with-mime-magic' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' '--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config' '--with-openssl=/opt/openssl' '--with-openssl-dir=/opt/openssl' '--with-pdo-mysql=shared' '--with-pdo-sqlite=shared' '--with-pgsql=/usr' '--with-pic' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-pspell' '--with-sqlite=shared' '--with-tidy=/opt/tidy/' '--with-ttf' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6' '--with-xsl=/opt/xslt/' '--with-zlib' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr'

The host is running: PHP Version 5.2.9

I've made the changes to the script to use fetch:
imap_fetch_overview($this->conn, $uids, SE_NOPREFETCH+SE_UID);
to
imap_fetch_overview($this->conn, $uids, FT_UID);

When I click 'Select' behind the folders (in email setup) I now get a pop-up but it then waits. I can tell you that the email on gmail is very limited (only 10 emails) and 1 label.

Any idea?

I have the same problem.
I can make it work with external accounts (not Gmail and not SSL)
But Gmail/SSL with Sugar CRM seems to not work at all, and I tried IMAP and POP as well... nothing works.

Any idea?

Oh my problem must be the same I also host at bluehost.com and I just can't get this to work....
Did anyone get an answer or a work-around for the gmail imap ssl bluehost issue?

My problem was fixed when we added the SSL ports to the firewall on our server.
We are running a VPS so we can easily do that.

OK got it. I need to purchase a static IP with Bluehost, then I can have the port open

[TheMoosiKeed]

So I'm sorry that this is such a dead thread, but did purchasing a static IP from Bluehost do the trick? I'm having this issue and am getting very frustrated with Bluehost for this.

Even if it did, is there a workaround? Possibly an external service made for problems like this? I'm a a bit on the broke side so I'd rather not pay for something that is not absolutely necessary.

Thanks and apologies for the resurrection.

My company have integrated gmail with sugarcrm... but the problem we are facing is that we can get the mails sent from gmail to crm but we want thatany changes made from crm should also be seen in Gmail.google calender.......
