up2ox Discussion

[Martin Heiland]

Hi all,

today Open-Xchange released the "up2ox" application, a notification application to keep in touch with the Open-Xchange Server even when not using the Web based Interface or a Outlook Connection. We're looking forward to catch all kinds of feedback about this alpha version to put it into a final release. It's up to YOU - don't say we didn't ask you

I'll give it a try. Will there be a Linux version in the future as well?

[Gertjan]

First impression:
Nice, but:
- Will there be support for multiple OX accounts? (On one or more servers)
- The 'doubleclick to open portal site' isn't functioning here.

OXEE GUI-Build: 6313

Hi Horst,

it works with all Editions of OX - try to send yourself a E-Mail or create a Infostore Object, the application should pop up in a few seconds then.

Hi Martin,
i am sorry, but no pop up appears here. I tried two different credentials:

1) mailserver-ip + my username + my password (hint: points to a OX5 imap)

2) mailserver-ip + test username + testpassword a "real" OXEE user

What could be wrong? I also restarted pc after install! I have manually started the program ant the trash icon appears.
regards

Hi,

up2ox uses the Open-Xchange HTTP API to fetch information, for this case the ip/hostname of the OX:EE Server needs to be entered, entering the mailserver ip will not work. If it still fails some network traffic sniff would be nice for debugging. Make sure to wipe out the password before posting it.

Greetings

Hello,
i tried both imap and OX:EE, with IP adress and also with name - no success. I also tried to sniff - but no information comes back. I even can not look at the "about" information - when i klick "about" in RMB menu nothing appers - but i at leas can edit "preferences" ???

update: if i connect via browser, i see traffic within wiresharc!

[Martin Heiland]

What OS do you use? Any "special" network configuration like a proxy or something like that?

[steini]

-> Using winXP latest updates installed
-> yes we use a proxyserver, even with authentication. But for our LAN a proxy is not necessary - means i can telnet oxee.internal.domain 80 and firefox without proxy setting can connect to OX:EE

But i have installed vmware server on my local PC - there exists some more virtual network devices - so far i do not use the vmware.


Last but no least: OX:EE runs also in a virtual environement.

hi martin,
any news on this topic? So far it's not working.

Hi Horst,

well it's strange that no network traffic is created at all when using up2ox - so i guess something at the application does not work. One great thing for the next alpha would be a logging mechanism. Sorry

The problem is, that up2ox doesnt support proxy at the moment. We will add this on our enhancement list. Thx
