Create a mailbox to receive group posts

rsbecker
  1. Go to Site Building>Mailhandler Mailboxes>Add Mailbox.
  2. In the Administrative title box put the name of the list, i.e. Group1.
  3. Click the edit link and put the the machine-readable name in the field that becomes visible, i.e. group1. Over time the labels on these fields have changed, and they may not accurately reflect their purposes.
  4. The Folder is INBOX, or some other name, depending on your mail sever.
  5. Change the mailbox type to IMAP.
  6. The mailbox domain is example.com and the port is 143 for standard IMAP.
  7. The mailbox user name is what you use to log into the account, often the email address, i.e. group1@example.com. The password is the password you gave the user (Note that this password is visible, so do not use one that would give access to other stuff).
  8. In the Extra Commands box type /novalidate-cert/tls, or whatever your mail server requires.
  9. After this point you should see a message that Mailhandler successfully connected to the mailbox and the number of messages in the box.
  10. The mime preference can be set to Plain Text or HTML.
  11. To minimize future maintenance check Delete messages after they are processed? If you are troubleshooting you might leave this box unchecked so you can retrieve messages from the server later.
  12. Leave From header blank.
  13. Under Security select Disabled.
  14. For Retrieval library select PHP IMAP, unless you use another system.
  15. Click Save
