e-mail module is not available

[gubule]

I've installed OX on centos with no problem.

i'm logging in web-interface but when i select mail i've got the following message:

e-mail module is not available

Unable to connect to the mail server. Possible reasons: the mail server is (temporarily) down or experiencing connection problems. To prevent further errors, the module has been disabled. Please contact your administrator

What can i have do wrong ?

Thanks for your help.

[Carsten Hoeger]

You should check whether the mailserver you are using with OX is available. Check /var/log/open-xchange/open-xchange.log.0 for more information.

I've check the log file and i see connection refused when i connect my test user.
Is it a problem with mysql or with ox mail server ? I can't tell.

should i install postfix in addition to OX ?

[Carsten Hoeger]

You configured ox to access the mail (imap) server at 127.0.0.1, but there's no imap server:

MSG-1016 Category=5 Message=Connection was refused or timed out while attempting to connect to remote server 127.0.0.1 for user testuser. exceptionID=535632642-210

You need to install and configure an imap and smtp server in order to use Open-Xchange.
Open-Xchange is neither an imap nor an smtp server, but it requires both to be set up somewhere.

i've already installed dovecot
maybe it is not running.

I will retry to connect with testuser.

[gubule]

I've retried to connect with my test user. I have the same message in web interface than before but not the same error in the log.

[gubule]

the test user was only created in OX.

i created it for unix and it works almost fine.

I've a new not blocking error after connection:

Error in low level connection to sieve server 127.0.0.1 at port 2000 (MAIL_FILTER-0014,535632642-324)

I've already read in a post in the forum people having the same error.
A mail filter must be uninstalled if my memory works well.
