I tried to setup the mail configuration from control panel but mail functionality is not working with liferay. I configured Root.xml and tried with gmail and also own server but still mail server is not working. I tried with portal.properties to set smtp configuration but still there is issue with liferay to sending mail. Let me know if any one have idea regarding this issue. thanks in advance to all liferay users.

Hello Amit,
I've got email working on my project stack with SMTP settings in portal-ext.properties file... Hope you are doing some tiny mistake... But the things you are mentioning are not explaining your problem clearly... Please explain in detail, and mention code snippet if needed...

Thanks and Regards...

Hi Apoorva,

Thanks for your response. Below, i mentioned code of bunch for portal.properties & Root.xml that i configured in my liferay.

portal.properties

mail.session.mail.transport.protocol=smtp
mail.session.mail.smtp.host=smtphost
mail.session.mail.smtp.password=pass
mail.session.mail.smtp.user=user
mail.session.mail.smtp.port=25
mail.session.mail.smtp.auth=true

root.xml

<Resource
name="mail/MailSession"
auth="Container"
type="javax.mail.Session"
mail.imap.host="imap.gmail.com"
mail.imap.port="993"
mail.pop.host="pop.gmail.com"
mail.store.protocol="imap"
mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
mail.smtp.host="smtp.gmail.com"
mail.smtp.port="465"
mail.smtp.auth="true"
mail.smtp.starttls.enable="true"
mail.smtp.user=""
password=""
mail.smtp.socketFactory.class="javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory"
/>

i tried both example. so please let me know where i am doing wrong.

Hey Amit,

When you are configuring mail using root.xml, you need to add mail.session.jndi.name=mail/MailSession in your portal-ext.properties. Have you done that?

HI Manish,

I tried to add mail.session.jndi.name=mail/MailSession in portal.properties. But still, i am not able to send mail. While testing for forget password, it's showing me that password sent successfully but user is not getting any mail. Please help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks.

Can you attach you portal-ext.properties? You can remove your mail password but I was other details as it is.

Also, it may be that portal is not able to detect your ext properties file. Where are you copying portal-ext.properties?

Is this the actual portal-ext.properties or you have removed values for mail.session.mail.smtp.host, mail.session.mail.smtp.user etc?

My last 2 suggestions -

1. Try after removing mail resource entry from root.xml and property mail.session.jndi.name=mail/MailSession from portal-ext.properties.

2. Make sure that your portal-ext.properties is being picked by the portal. To verify this, go to control panel -> server administration -> properties -> portal properties.

Hi Amit,

Have you seen this blog? http://www.liferay.com/web/craig.kaneko/blog/-/blogs/243468/maximized

It is an easy way to setup Gmail.

Thanks,
