Problems with Email server imap

[Ardi lems]

Hi,

I am currently working with Phpgroupware for a school project.
I recently installed the mail server called UW-IMAP to handle the emails.
When i login as admin in phpgroupware and i try to open the email application i get an error:

 There was an error trying to connect to your mail server.
Please, check your username and password, or contact your admin.


source: email class.mail_msg_base.inc.php

called from: mail_msg: loginerr_tryagain_buggy_cert(LINE 2301), called_from: , msg_bootstrap: ensure_mail_msg_exists(), called_by: email.boindex.index_data LINE 353

imap_last_error: [Too many login failures]
tried RH bug recovery?: [1]


Can anyone help me with this problem?.Sent from the phpGroupWare forums @ http://forums.phpGroupWare.org

did you configure the mail server settings in the admin section?
does your imap account work with other email client, such as mozilla
thunderbird?

Yes is did configure the mail server settings.
although i am not 100% sure i filled in everything right.

Here are DNS settings:

1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa  name = ns1.groupwaredavinci.nl.
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa  name = phpgroupware.groupwaredavinci.nl.
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa  name = mail.groupwaredavinci.nl.
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa  name = localhost.

And for email settings i put in an attachment with this message.

I am not sure how to test my imap account other than an telnet test for my imap server wich worked.
Btw is there any documentation from phpgroupware on how to set up the email server.

are you sure your UW is setup for maildir?  it doens't by default.

install thunderbird.

not other than the official install howto, link on the download page
the mail server itself it completely separate from phpgw and how to
set it up is greatly dependant on your host OS and software you
choose.  Once that works, you just fill in the setting like you have.

Er, on the picture you did NOT check the "use custom email settings" box. You
should.

Checked the setting box but i still cannot connect to my email server.
I was wondering about the question with imap account.?
Because i did not setup an account for imap since the manual i used didnt say anything about it.
Do i need to setup an imap account first or does phpgroupware create one for me?.
I am also running both email and phpgroupware on the same server so  there is also no possibility that the connection is blokked by ports etc.
Another thing that I was wandering about is that, is it better to use my email servers name or my IPadress in the mail settings of  phpgroupware?.

phpgw is not a mail server, only a client.
a firewall can still block a "local" connection if a public IP is
used.  name or IP doesn't matter, but by name you won't have to
reconfigure if the IP ever changes.
