Email Configuration

[DualFusion]

I created an email address using ISPConfig with the following credentials
email: dualfusion@synarchydesign.com
usern: web1_dualfusion
passw: !@#$%^&*(

I am using evolution mail as my test client for now and have inputed the following:
pop: mail.synarchydesign.com | df1.synarchydesign.com | www.synarchydesign.com | synarchydesign.com | 75.74.102.247 | 192.168.1.4
use secure connection: no encryption
authentication: password

smtp: mail.synarchydesign.com | df1.synarchydesign.com | www.synarchydesign.com | synarchydesign.com | 75.74.102.247 | 192.168.1.4
use secure connection: no encryption
authentication: plain

email: dualfusion@synarchydesign.com
usern: web1_dualfusion
passw: !@#$%^&*(

I cannot recieve the emails from the pop3 account, and im not sure if i can send them via smtp. I sent an email to this address from another email, and the same one. Neither of them appeared. The client just stays for a while "Fetching Mail" but does not stop. The email I sent from here (smtp) moved from the outbox to the sent box, so it must have been sent. But just to make sure, i sent it to another email, and i never recieved it. after some while, the client was still "Fetching Mail" then stopped and gave me an error.

[till]

please enable maildir in ispconfig under management > server > settings

[DualFusion]

Done, now what? I have tried several configurations of this. Can you please help me out. I am using Windows Live Mail on Vista.

Thank you

You must send an email to that user first - the Maildir gets created when the first email arrives. Afterwards you should be able to fetch mails.

[DualFusion]

Thank you very much!

[John.Smith]

It took me a long time to figure this out. Now I want to know why ISPConfig doesn't automatically send an initialization email to the account when it creates it?

[madmucho]

Have you set it in Managment > Server > Settings > tab Other ?

[John.Smith]

You must be mistaken. There are no settings there that have anything to do with sending an email to a user when the email account is created. The settings at the location that you are referring to are for sending an initial email to a client or reseller when it is created, not an email user.

[madmucho]

Yes You have true, only this type can set up. Sorry.
