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 repository.
- Open the alfresco-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. Don't use 127.0.0.1 or localhost.
Note: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 Content Services server.
Once the 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.
