SSL/TLS support (gmail) fix

[franponce87]

The following settings work fine for me:

Incoming settings:
Server address: imap.gmail.com
Connection method: IMAP. Using SSL
SSL port: 993

Smtp settings:
SMTP Server - smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Server Port - 465
SMTP Server Auth - Use incoming
Secure Connection - SSL

You may unlock your gmail captcha before setting your gmail account just in case. Click [ur=https://www.google.com/accounts/displayunlockcaptchal]here[/url] to do that

Regarding the default value being 10, you can change it at Administration>Configuration>Mailing - Email fetch limit

Greetings!

PS: What FO version are you using?

Hi am using 1.7

Have all those settings and unlocked the captcha.  Still the same error is appearing.

Could there be something wrong in my installation or a setting MY server?

Are you sure you have written smtp.gmail.com? I have just noticed in your previous post you wrote stmp.gmail.com. Worths the shot checking right?

If that doesn't work.. I am not sure what could be wrong, specially because gmail is automatically recognized now and basically the only thing you must do is typing in your password

Greets!

PS: 1.7.1 version is out if you would like trying updating your files to see if it helps (plus it has new features and bug fixes)

[chumby]

Thanks for that... just checked.  No it is right... Google just put it in automatically.

Have just tried to update to 1.7.1 ... but doesn't work either.

I go to Administration --> Upgrade and the server sits there and thinks about doing something, but nothing is returned... no error messgae, prompt or anything?

Any thoughts here?

Turned off the firewall... had the message:

Success: failed to connect to server

and then the loading icon spins for a while and then nothing....

No upgrade made

Managed to upgrade manually... no worries there and things seem to be OK.

Still no change in being able to access GMAIL IMAP though....

ANything else I can check?

Ok so, if you are able to fetch the IMAP folder, that means the settings are all right, otherwise, there may be something missing..
If you can fetch the IMAP folders (for income settings) without problem AND the SMTP settings are the ones as above, but you cannot send emails, check if this email account is your default, if it is not, set it as default and try sending an email now. If you do not wish to set it as default, check how many emails accounts do you have and when you prepare a new email message ready to be sent, click on "From" and check where are you sending the email from...

If that doesn't help, check out at the Admin Panel, in your Cron Settings, if you have chosen to send the emails through Cron. If you have, you must set up your Cron correctly in order to send the emails, otherwise, they will never go out. Check this thread, last page, to see how to run the Cron.

Have tried the default mail settings... .doesnt make any difference.

Where do I specify to use Cron for mail?  Is that selected instead of SMTP or PHP in general settings somewhere?

Appreciate the help

You can find the Cron settings at Administration>Cron Events

Remember, you MUST RUN the cron in order to make it work, otherwise it will be useless. Read page 2 and 3 here for more info.

By the way, you ought to double check if the server you are running Feng Office at does not have those ports blocked!
