How to configure IMAP email domain hosted in google apps hosting server

[naveen519]

We have hosted our email accounts in Google apps with the  domain as tsrtbkcollege.ac.in, and installed round cube web-mail client in a hosting server of ixwebhostings.

After studying the configuration settings of Goolge apps for Outlookexpress, Outlook2007 and Thunderbird, i configured roundcube main.inc as following:


$rcmail_config = array();

$rcmail_config['debug_level'] = 1;

$rcmail_config['enable_caching'] = TRUE;

$rcmail_config['message_cache_lifetime'] = '10d';

$rcmail_config['auto_create_user'] = TRUE;

$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'imap.gmail.com';

// TCP port used for IMAP connections
$rcmail_config['default_port'] = 993;

// Automatically add this domain to user names for login
// Only for IMAP servers that require full e-mail addresses for login
// Specify an array with 'host' => 'domain' values to support multiple hosts
$rcmail_config['username_domain'] = 'tsrtbkcollege.ac.in';

// This domain will be used to form e-mail addresses of new users
// Specify an array with 'host' => 'domain' values to support multiple hosts
$rcmail_config['mail_domain'] = 'tsrtbkcollege.ac.in';

// Path to a virtuser table file to resolve user names and e-mail addresses
$rcmail_config['virtuser_file'] = '';

$rcmail_config['virtuser_query'] = '';

// use this host for sending mails.
// to use SSL connection, set ssl://smtp.host.com
// if left blank, the PHP mail() function is used
$rcmail_config['smtp_server'] = 'smtp.gmail.com';

// SMTP port (default is 25; 465 for SSL)
$rcmail_config['smtp_port'] = 587;

// SMTP username (if required) if you use %u as the username RoundCube
// will use the current username for login
$rcmail_config['smtp_user'] = '%u';

// SMTP password (if required) if you use %p as the password RoundCube
// will use the current user's password for login
$rcmail_config['smtp_pass'] = '%p';

// SMTP AUTH type (DIGEST-MD5, CRAM-MD5, LOGIN, PLAIN or empty to use
// best server supported one)
$rcmail_config['smtp_auth_type'] = '';

$rcmail_config['smtp_helo_host'] = 'mail.tsrtbkcollege.ac.in';

i found the blank page when tried to login through webmail client roundcube following the above configuration file.

 Please help me in this regard to configure the IMAP settings for google apps mail domain.

 Thanks in advance
