Hi.

I'm having trouble setting up the email facilities in OpenERP 7.0.

I have it installed on a virtual server running Ubuntu 12.04.2 in Virtual Box. I have entered the appropriate SMTP and IMAP information for my mail server in Settings/General Settings/"Configure outgoing email servers" and "Configure the incoming email gateway", or at least, the same information that works perfectly in Apple Mail. When I click on the "Test connection" and "Test and confirm" buttons in the respective sections I get the "Test Succeeded" message for outgoing and the indicator moves from "Not confirmed" to "Confirmed" for the outgoing section, so I can only assume the information I've entered is correct.

When I try to send an email, to my own personal gmail address for example, everything seems to go as expected. However, the email never turns up at my gmail address and when I go into Technical/Email/Emails and look at the "Advanced" tab for the email in question it's status is "Delivery failed" and there is no information in the Outgoing or Inbound mail server sections. Needless to say I can't receive any emails I send from my gmail account to the imap addresses I've set up in OpenERP.

I don't have Fetchmail installed on the virtual server yet though another question in this forum titled "how to send emails" seems to suggest that it might create a conflict with OpenERP's own fetchmail service (can't post the link sorry...don't have enough karma yet:()

Anyway, I'm totally confused and would be extremely grateful if anyone can give me some assistance.

Thanks.

Bill.
