NethServer Version: 7.7.1908
Module: pop3connector

Hello,

i test the nethserver as a replacement for my sbs2011. I want to download external mail accounts with the pop3connector. When i entered the credentials the check fails. When i entered the local mailaccount it works, and when i edit the cfg file in /var/lib/getmail manual i can download the mails out of the mailbox. I want to download mails from uberspace.de and 1und1.de. I have the suspicion, that the e-mail address as a username is the problem, because it fails with the @ in the username very fast. Without the @ it trys a little bit longer and fails. In the maillog is nothing to see from the check. With google and the community search i cant find any topics with the simmiliar problem. Any Ideas? Maybe in wich logfile i can finde the information from the check?

Thanks

Edit: Ok i found the following in the logs:

15:45
pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root sudo
15:45

in the last log entry:

Hello,

is it possible to skip the validation or to manipulate the database where the config will be stored?
Thanks

Hi,

welcome to Nethserver Community.

The config is stored in /var/lib/getmail/*, there’s no config database for nethserver-getmail.

http://docs.nethserver.org/projects/nethserver-devel/en/latest/nethserver-mail.html#nethserver-mail-getmail

You may try if it works in the old server manager.

EDIT:

I can confirm the issue. There’s already an open bug, see Possible Bug with nethserver-cockpit Connectors

Hi,

thank you very much. In the old server manager it works. In the new server manager credentials without an @ in the username works, too. But only hosteurope has something like this and my lokal other mail server i test for an sbs replacement.

With the database i mean the server manager saves the settings in a database or something. because when i edit the getmail config files manually in the server manager the settings didnt’ change.

Thanks again

You’re welcome.

The connectors are saved in the getmail database.

Show entries:

db getmail show

Change something:

db getmail setprop user@example.com Server mail.example.com

Apply changes:

signal-event nethserver-mail-getmail-update
