Accounts plugin on a NAS

[Simpom]

Hi everyone!

I recently discovered RoundCube and I think it's awesome!
I'm now trying to get access to all my e-mail accounts within one session. I installed the 'sessions' and 'accounts' plugins, everything seems to be ok, but when I try and configure new accounts in 'Account Administration', whatever I can type in the fields, I always get the same error: "Failed to establish connection to remote host.". I tried with several accounts with the same result.

I believe the problem is that RoundCube can't connect to the IMAP server... but on the other hand I can access to my e-mails for the main account (I mean the one I opened a session with)...

Any idea of what to do?

If it can help, I use RoundCube on a Synology NAS (but in a 'stand-alone' installation, I mean not with the pre-installed package; so I can access to each and every part of the setup easily).

Thank you for your help!

This plugins uses PHP imap_open to test if a connection can be established. Roundcube uses socket connections. So either PHP imap module is not available or the imap_open_flag ...

/* imap_open flag (http://php.net/manual/en/function.imap-open.php) */
$rcmail_config['imap_open_flag'] = 'novalidate-cert';

... is misconfigered in the plugin configuration.

As a workaround you could disable the connection test in accounts.php:


  function test_connection($username,$password,$imap_host,$imap_port,$prot){

add here:

    return true;

               
    if(function_exists("imap_open")){
      $rcmail = rcmail::get_instance();
      $flag = $rcmail->config->get('imap_open_flag');
      if($flag)
        $this->imap_open_flag = $flag;
      $password = $rcmail->decrypt($password);
      if($prot){
        $imap_open = "{" . $imap_host . ":" . $imap_port . "/imap/" . $prot . "/" . $this->imap_open_flag . "}INBOX";
      }
      else{
        $imap_open = "{" . $imap_host . ":" . $imap_port . "/" . $this->imap_open_flag . "}INBOX";
      }
    
      if($res = @imap_open($imap_open, $username, $password)){
        $success = true;
        imap_close($res);
      }
      else{
        $success = false;
      }
    }
    else{
      $success = true;
    }
      
    return $success;
  
  }



(PHP: imap_open - Manual).

Thanks for your reply. But the changes you suggest only allow me to create the account, but not to use it...

I mean that when I create the account, I don't have any error anymore, but when I am in the main page and I click to the account just created, I get disconnected!

Any idea why?
Thx

This happens to any accounts? Is there a difference between local and external accounts (f.e. gmail)?

[Simpom]

Ok seems to work for gmail! But it definitely does not work with my other accounts (from my internet provider). I tried to connect to a mail box "@sfr.fr" and it does not work...

Is it normal? Any solution to make it work?

Thx

[rosali]

What are your Roundcube imap settings to connect to sfr.fr?

[Simpom]

I tried "imap.sfr.fr" and "ssl://imap.sfr.fr:993" (but I have no idea if it makes sens or not )
Is that correct?

[rosali]

I don't know the requirements of your ISP. You stated you can connect by Roundcube, so I asked what are the settings in main.inc.php.

[Simpom]

Well... sth really strange happens!

Let's say I have two email accounts @sfr.fr : email1@sfr.fr and email2@sfr.fr. If I connect to each account, I can send/receive emails from it.
But if I try to configure an account for accessing to the emails of the other, I get disconnected each time I try and change account...
I check twice: my configuration of the host in the plugins/accounts/config/config.inc.php is the same than in the config/main.inc.php

Do you believe there could be a restriction which could prevent me from connecting to multiple accounts at the same time?

[rosali]

Is this your problem? Issue 77 - myroundcube - Accounts plugin: &_mbox=INBOX&_switch=-1 shows an empty page - Project Hosting on Google Code

Do you run Roundcube v0.4beta or recent SVN version?

What is in Roundcube error log?

[Simpom]

That's not what occurs in my case.

Let's say email2@sfr.fr is configured as an extra email account for email1@sfr.fr.
If I log in with email1@sfr.fr, no problem, I can access my emails. Now if I try to select email2@sfr.fr in the drop down menu (above the folders menu), I am redirected to the connection page.

Concerning the version I'm using, it is the 0.4beta.

Thx for your help.

Is there anything in the Roundcube error logs? You could also enable imap_debug in the Roundcube configuration. Additionally you could check your Imap server logs. Without further informations why the connection is denied I won't be able to help you.

SOLVED!!!!

Well I have checked the error log: the problem came from my email server. I'm a bit ashamed but the email address I was testing was disabled on the server...

But thanks a lot for your help! You made me discover a bit the core of RoundCube.
