Dear All,
I need help in configuring microsoft outlook for sending/receiving emails
System hostname techserver
Operating system
Debian Linux 7
Webmin version 1.740
Virtualmin version 4.15.gpl
Running both Postfix and Dovecot in a vps
I used virtualmin “edit users” from the concerned domain to create email ids.
So, for the domain myblog.com, i created the user:
admin@myblog.com
I am able to login to usermin and send/receive emails.
But, i am facing problem configuring microsoft outlook.
The username that i used in Microsoft outlook is: admin.myblog.
I tried multiple ports in microsoft outlook, but i am unable to connect to my mail server.
General Configuration:
email name: admin@myblog.com
username: admin.myblog
password: mypassword
pop server: mail.myblog.com
smtp server: mail.myblog.com
For pop, i used the given below 3 settings:
Setting 1:
In advanced settings, i chose : My outgoing server requires (smtp) authentication
pop3 with ssl enabled, port 995;
smtp with ssl enabled, port 465
Setting 2:
In advanced settings, i chose : My outgoing server requires (smtp) authentication
pop3 with ssl enabled, port 995;
smtp with TLS enabled, port 587
Setting 3:
In advanced settings, i chose : My outgoing server requires (smtp) authentication
pop3 with no ssl, port 110;
smtp, plain, port 25
Irrespective of trying all the above combinations, i am still getting error as specified below:
Log onto incoming mail server (POP3): The operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).
Send test e-mail message: The operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).
I tried enclosing the output of the command, but get a validation error and am unable to attach:
netstat -an | egrep ‘Proto|LISTEN’
To my knowledge, the ports 110, 465, 587, 993, 995 are open
Please help me where i am going wrong.
Thanks and Regards,
Mahesh
