Hello forum!
I have a very weird problem. It is about e-mail settings. I managed to make the outgoing SMTP server settings work very well. I can send e-mails through one account that I created as gateway. The problem exists with my incoming mail settings. I figured that you have to make separate e-mail settings for each of the users I created.
I created incoming IMAP mail settings for my account, and it passes nicely, it says testing ok, and fetching e-mail doesn't give any errors. But when I go to messaging tab of the account that is supposed to receive e-mails, I get nothing.
"I must have missed something, and my connection to outside world might be wrong?" Say no more, I went right ahead and tried POP incoming settings. Works like a charm. But I don't want POP settings. It doesn't suite my needs at all.
I am hereby humbly asking someone to help me debug this. Why is POP working and IMAP not? I should also mention, that I have configured IMAP settings at my thunderbird client and it works flawlessly, so we can rule out server side problems.
On a sidenote, I am missing a send message button in my messaging tab, so the way I tested outgoing settings was to reply some of the messages that I received while POP settings were active.
Could it be that your email server has not been setup for IMAP? For example, if you use Gmail, you can sign in your account and go to Settings / Forwarding and POP/IMAP. I think by default POP is enabled,and IMAP is disabled.
