Fetching Email via IMAP or POP

Can't open mailbox {tls://10.10.1.22:995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX: invalid remote specification

@BS1

Run:

$ openssl s_client -connect 10.10.1.22:143 -starttls imap -tls1

Post a picture of your mail settings so we can see what you are trying to enter as the protocol, etc.

Cheers.

Port 143 is the unencrypted port for IMAP. If you would like to use 143 you must use the protocol of just IMAP (NOT IMAP + SSL).

Cheers.

You would remove the tls:// from the url I think if your not using ssl.

It does not seem to matter. Any combination that I use fails, and there does not seem to be anything generating errors as to "why?"

Because the errors are listed in your mailserver's connection/error logs..

Cheers.

OK, now i have to ask a dumb question. It is not producing errors in the server APPLog. Is the connection/error log somewhere else?

In exchange I think those go into the event viewer. (it's been years since I have had to look at them, so you might have to google it)

    Hi ntozier

    I'm trying to send email via SMTP but cannot make it work. I tried the following ways:

    1. Disabled the MFA for specific user
    2. Enabled/ Enforced MFA to specific user and use APP PASSWORD Instead.

    We cannot disable the security defaults for our organization since it will put us on risk, and conditional access needs a premium plan on Azure.

    I was able to use gmali using the APP PASSWORD created on gmail, but on O365 I am getting an error.


    Hope you can share some thoughts about it.

    Thank you.

      As the error states, you should contact your administrator and/or mail provider for further assistance. It appears you have some very specific rules/setup on your mailserver.

      Cheers.
