Mail plug-in support from APOP?

[coulombre]

Hi all,

We have a client that is looking for APOP support when downloading email. I've not seen any mention of APOP support with the included Mail plug-in, and wondered if I'm missing anything? Or is there another plug-in that we might use?

Thanks,

Rich Coulombre

We are using javax.mail lib from Sun, on the web it says it is supported:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/j ... mmary.html

So place in your servoy.properties file the line:
mail.pop3.apop.enable=true

Please let us know if this works, so we can make this property showup in the server adminpage mail plug-in properties, to prevent manual edits in properties file

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the info! I'm afraid this is still not working as hoped. FYI I can connect to the email server and account using an email client and the same user name and password while using APOP. So I'm at a loss at this point.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!

Best,

We don't have APOP server ourselfs, do you have any other info? error msg? anything in the ".log.txt" file?

Hi Jan,

The plugin does make a connection to the server (with the APOP setting turned on per Jan Blok's suggestion). When the following method is executed:

var msgs = plugins.mail.receiveMail('user_id', 'password', true);

we get a null back...

If we connect to the same email server/account without APOP turned on (regular POP3), it works properly. If we connect to the same server/account with an email client that supports APOP everything works fine.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!

Best,

Rich

Ok, the problem is fixed and working APOP will be available in the next release.
