since the interface of Webtop doesn’t fit my needs, and I want to make more use of apps other then filesharing on Nextcloud, I’d like to try out the mail app in Nextcloud.
Is it correct that these 2 can co-exist on my (single node) NS8?
Is it also possible to have roundcube as a 3rd option simultaniously?
Is there any documentation on how to configure NS8/mail/nextcloud/nextcloud-mail (couldn’t find any in this context). Or is it just install the app, and it is already integrated in NS8?
Any help on this is nice. I am a bit hesitant to experiment, as this NS8 is my family’s mail-portal.
you can use multiple webmail solutions in parallel without problems. Mails are stored on the server and remain there thanks to the imap protocol, so you can access them from multiple clients without issues.
The nextcloud mail app is running stable for me, although I do not use nethserver to host nextcloud. The nextcloud mail app has a nice feature of auto-provisioning mail accounts from an ldap user base. Please note that this feature is not working in Nethserver with integrated user domains, since the user’s email address and aliases are not stored in ldap. So users probably have to setup their mail accounts manually.
When following that instructions, @mrmarkuz, an old bell rings to OP, saying you need to disable shared mailboxes. I did, but to no avail.
In another (older, NS7) post, it was suggested you should also remove any shared (public) folders/mailboxes.
Is that still the case? I do not make use of shared/public mailboxes, but I see 2 (default) on my server:
postmaster and Junk.
Should I delete these?
Did you set IMAP and SMTP security to “None”?
I guess if the mail server is on another node than the Nextcloud app in your cluster, then you need to enable “SSL” or “STARTTLS”
Did you enter the correct mail server hostname, you can find it at the mail server app status page:
