Seeking advice on setup Evolution

[satimis]

Hi folks,


Ubuntu 7.04 desktop


I'm now configuring Evolution to download mails on my own mail server (under testing). I'll use ISP's mail server sending mails. My mail server has not been fully configured. Now it can receive mails. I haven't setup "send mail" yet. However mails can be sent via telnet on the mail server.


Mail Server
OS - Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64
Postfix 2.3.8
ethernet IP - 192.168.0.10

Workstation
ethernet IP -192.168.0.11


Please shed me some light on following points to complete "Evolution Setup Assistant" ;

Receiving Email
Server Type - POP ?
Configuration -> Server [What shall I put in this box] ?

Sending Email
Server Type - SMTP ?
Server Configuration -> Server [What shall enter on this box]

Authentication
Type - login ??? [Check for Supported Type]


TIA

You want to use smtp and the server will be provided by your isp. You will have to find that out on their website.

Thanks for your advice.


I have courier-imap installed

$ apt-cache policy courier-imap

courier-imap:
  Installed: 4.1.1.20060828-5ubuntu1
  Candidate: 4.1.1.20060828-5ubuntu1
  Version table:

$ apt-cache pkgnames smtp

smtp-refuser
smtpd
smtpguard
smtpfeed

Any advice/pointer to get it to work so that I can read/download emails on the mail server from a workstation?


TIA

No your isp provides smtp. You don't need to install anything. Just enter the isp's smtp address in evolution.

Hi Vergil83,


I think I have to clarify my request. I want the workstation download emails from my mail server which is not fully setup. It can receive emails without problem. To send emails I have to run "telnet" to do the job. I'll get "send mails" setup later. Therefore the IP address should be the ethernet address of the server. It is "192.168.0.10", NOT ISP's IP address.

This is the first time for me to setup Evolution to fetch and send mails from/via my own mail server. I don't know whether it is the same as communicating ISP's mail server, such as pop.192.168.0.10 and smtp.192.168.0.10. I'm stuck here.
