Good Morning all,
I've setup the mail module and everything was working with roundcube till it stopped working after a reboot (I've posted for that in a different post) but in the meantime I've been trying to get Thunderbird to work internally with my email server but it's not working. I'm hoping someone might be able to clarify a few things for me.
When setting up a mail account in Thunderbird, it asks for a few things and I want to make sure I'm providing the proper information. I'll try to go through all the steps...
First: You are asked for the following...
Your Name : Firstname Lastname (not associated with authentication)
Email Address:
firstnamelastname@example.comPassword: This is the password used to access the account via webmail which is also the user's LDAP credentials, Correct?
Second: The next page it tires to find the server info for you... but it's not working.. I select IMAP and then go into the manual config.
Incoming: IMAP , hostnameofmailserver.example.com , Port (depends on authentication method) , STARTTLS , Kerberos/GSSAPI
Outgoing: SMTP , hostnameofmailserver.example.com , Port (depends on authentication method) , STARTTLS , Normal Password
Username : So, is this just the email address again? (
firstnamelastname@example.com) or is this the username I setup under users in the Zentyal interface?
Ultimately, I'm getting met with authentication errors when I try to test the connection. Any aid on selecting which SSL and Authentication method to use would be great. I don't think I should be using Kerberos unless i'm logged into a machine that is joined to the zentyal domain right?
I hope this is not too confusing.
Thanks in advance!
