Problems So many times to initial setup an email mail box and send and receive in thunderbird
Problems So many times to initial setup an email mail box and send and receive in thunderbird
Hi,
maybe it's embarassing or I am just to stuboorn I dont know why the email set up is so unclear in Vestacp.
When I add an email, I want to use the given settings in thunderbird and none of them Work.
After a hardware problem I recovered the server without having a vesta backup (just my own tar backup) because the backup menu was missing and no backup worked.
So no email settings were take only the webfolders and databases I had.
So, in Thunderbird the email box is set up, just waiting to get new credentials.
I see the new option of a dropdown to use server or domain as hostname (which makes so little sense to me, why should I want "myhostname" as server, without any gTLD used?)
In fact, I can now use ANY combination and it will never connect.
But to be true this is not the frist time that I dont understand the vestacp set up process.
Kindly help
Andre

When I do a setup with smtp and imap using it like this it will never connect.Username: [email protected]
Password:
IMAP hostname: legalmaterial.de
IMAP port: 143
IMAP security: STARTTLS
IMAP auth method: Normal password
SMTP hostname: legalmaterial.de
SMTP port: 587
SMTP security: STARTTLS
SMTP auth method: Normal password
In fact, I can now use ANY combination and it will never connect.
