The IMAP protocol server is disabled by default. You need to enable the IMAP protocol
server to start interaction between the email client and the SkyVault repository.
- Open the SkyVault-global.properties file.
-
Enable the IMAP server by setting the following property to
true:
imap.server.enabled=true
-
Set the IMAP server to listen on a specific interface using the following
property:
imap.server.host=x.x.x.x
Where x.x.x.x is the IP address (or corresponding DNS address) of your external IP interface. Do not use 127.0.0.1 or localhost.
By default, the IMAP server listens on all interfaces on the default IMAP port of 143. You can set this property to use an alternative port number, for example 144.
- Restart the SkyVault server.
Once the SkyVault server has restarted, the new configuration will take effect. Since
the IMAP server has only one instance, make your configuration changes to the
<extension root>alfresco-global.properties file. You can also
make your changes to <extension
root>\alfresco\extension\subsystems\imap\default\default for the IMAP
subsystem configuration to take precedence.
