Scalix Forums

Hi,

I want to fetch e-mails from different providers. Currently I try to fetch the emails with Outlook I create the accounts for the user but every mail that I receive with Outlook Scalix put the emails to the digital nirvana why?
How can I fetch e-mails and deliver to an user? How must I configure the scalix server or with outlook?
Or does I need an external program like fetchmail or qmail which sends it to scalix?

Best Regrads,
Oliver

Hi

This can easily be done using fetchmail

Many thanks

Mike

Is there a simple documentation of how to do this, simple enough for a windows convert to understand?

Sure

Sorry for not replying sooner I live on the other side of the planet

The fetchmail url is http://www.catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/

If you get the latest fetchmail rpm (assuming you are useing Redhat)
Then you can create a .fetchmailrc file like this

#
# Sample .fetcmailrc file
#
poll pop3.yourisp.com
with protocol pop3
username your usernamel password yourpop3password
smtphost 10..xxx.xxx.xxx smtpname youremailaddress@yourserver.com

You can either cron the request on put fetchmail into deamon mode
