Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 with lightning and Devmail all installed and no issues there (Devmail working on Java 6)
#Davmail setup how to#
I am sure I am just missing the most simplest step somewhere along the line.Ĭan someone please post a detailed instruction on how to configure both Thunderbird and Devmail to work together and also how to test if Davmails is working? I am sure Im going to have better luck with Thunderbird from what Ive read so far, but it still eludes me how to set it up with Devmail and the information Ive found so far is not very clear. So now Im into the 5th day trying with Davmail and Thunderbird to get emails from my company mail exchange server. (its all a long story for another day)Evolution is now uninstalled and in the bin. Yes I tried brutus and its web sites are down so to get additions such as Brutus Keyring is impossible. I've finally given up altogether with Evolution last week, as it seems from weeks of reading and trying, there just isn't a solution for it to work with Exchange Server mail.
#Davmail setup Pc#
You should now be able to receive email from Exchange through your Gmail account as long as the PC with DavMail remains online.Seems quite a lot out there are finding it simple enough getting Thunderbird/Davmail to work, yet I've been at it for days now and still no luck.(Then again, if your institution is forcing you to use Exchange, they're so evil they probably gave you a tiny email quota too in that case, you might want to leave it disabled so the account on the server doesn't fill up.) Hit Add Account. Otherwise, gmail will automatically delete messages off the server the instant they are downloaded to your gmail account. Check "Always use secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail." You probably want to check "Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server". Set POP server to your IP address (again, Step 9) and the port to 1110. Enter your Exchange username and password. Under "Check mail using POP3:" hit "Add a POP3 mail account you own". You might want to test it, but note that you won't be able to receive email until you complete the following steps. You should now be able to send email through Exchange with Gmail as your client.Check the "Secured connection using SSL" option.
#Davmail setup password#
Enter your username and password normally. Under SMTP server, enter your own IP address (you got it in Step 9) and set the port to 587.
