where is the mail portlet

[Anônimo, modificado 15 Anos atrás.]

the documentation refers to the mail portlet, but in 5.1 I don't see it when trying to add portlets to a page.
is it a separate download?

[Jesper W, modificado 15 Anos atrás.]

Yes. It is available from SVN at:

https://lportal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lportal/plugins/trunk/portlets/mail-portlet

Not shure if there is a build available...

[Mariano Cifre, modificado 15 Anos atrás.]

I've added the Plugins Portlet and there is nothing out there.

I think it is because I am using v5.1

ok thanks,
why is it being "advertised" as being part of 5.1

if its not part of the download?

[Ray Augé, modificado 15 Anos atrás.]

The idea was that since it is dependent on features of the 5.1 portal,
even if it's only a plugin, it's part of the greater 5.1 release. But,
perhaps it would be an idea to distinguish between what is part of core
portal and what is a plugin.

Sorry for the confusion.

HAI ray ,

iam using 5.0.1 and working on mail portlet. I had setup the portlet its working fine .

In ROOT.xml i have given ,

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

Its opening my gmail account in the mail portlet, irrespective of whoever logsin except normal user.
My problem is i want to set up the mail portlet where it should open the personal accounts w.r.t the user logged in .

What i must do for all those things?

Hi guys,

The mail portlet is still being developed but you can download it from svn and it will work with trunk. Its not in "plugins" because there is still work to be done. But I was able to compile it and deployed it to trunk a couple weeks ago. One of the cool features is that its really easy to add your gmail account and each user will be able to use their own account. Takes a little while to dl your email but after the first initial dl, you're good to go.

If you plan on testing it out and you run into some bugs, open a LEP and post it here so we can track.

hai craig,

iam using 5.0.1 portal, in that mail portlet is available. iam asking about how each user can see their own accounts when i give a particular username and password in ROOT.xml

like this---->
<Resource
name="mail/MailSession"
auth="Container"
type="javax.mail.Session"
mail.imap.host="imap.gmail.com"
mail.imap.port="993"
mail.imap.socketFactory.class="javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory"
mail.pop.host="locahost"
mail.store.protocol="imap"
mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
mail.smtp.host="smtp.liferay.com"
mail.smtp.user="MY GMAIL USERNAME"
password="MY GMAIL PASSWORD"
mail.smtp.auth="true"
mail.smtp.starttls.enable="true"
/>
In the mail portlet only single user account( whose username and password of gmail specified in ROOT.xml) can be viewed by all the other power users and administrator except normal users. And for normal users it is asking to register but it is not performing any action.

So what i must do inorder to have multiple accounts w.r.t the user.

[Craig Kaneko, modificado 15 Anos atrás.]

You can't configure the mail portlet to work with multiple accounts using gmail that way. If you want to use multiple accounts, then use the new mail portlet, you'll have to use trunk and download the new mail portlet in svn. This new mail portlet will just ask you for your gmail username and password and you will have your account, no other configuration is necessary.

hai,
craig,

as u said that 5.1.0 mail portlet will support for gmail multiple accounts with out any configuration required in ROOT.xml , so i have deployed it . The portlet deployed and successfully registered in the portal.

but when i am adding the gmail account it is throwing an error saying


you-have-failed-to-connect-to-the-imap-server-but-successfully-connected-to-the-smtp-server


now what is the problem ? what else is needed?

[auditya manikanta vadrevu, modificado 15 Anos atrás.]

hai
craig,

earlier i have posted that iam getting imap connection error , so what i did is i have opened my gmail account and enabled imap connections to it through settings, then the mail portlet accepted my account.

Then it is not showing my email account it is just displaying

check-your-email-or-configure-email-accounts with no links any where

what could be the problem?

[Craig Kaneko, modificado 15 Anos atrás.]

Hi,

Are you using trunk? Those links are included in the language.properties file.

Craig

[auditya manikanta vadrevu, modificado 15 Anos atrás.]

hi,

iam using trunk only. I have deployed the mail-portlet from trunk and uploaded into portal through plugin installer.
I have not found any language.properties in trunk.

After adding gmail account my portlet looks like the image in the attachement with no other links to any where.

[Elizabeth B., modificado 15 Anos atrás.]

hello!
I have similar problem with mail portlet. portlet displays only link "Configure email accounts". I try to configure gmail account, input my login and password but after click 'save' button nothing happens. and in tomcat console I get error message: Failed on connectiong to [e-mail]. any tips how to configure this portlet properly? (i also need to configure it with ms exchange)

I use liferay 5.1 with tomcat and mail portlet 5.1.1

[auditya manikanta vadrevu, modificado 15 Anos atrás.]

hi,

i am still facing the same problem . i have tried with hsql database.

what database you are using ?

The mail portlet should work fine with mysql because the liferay development uses mysql as its database.

try with that...

[Elizabeth B., modificado 15 Anos atrás.]

well, i use mysql but it doesn't work... i don't know why there is this "2_STORE_" added to my mail login (btw 2 is portal userID)..

Hi Elizabeth

I am facing the same problem with mail portlet.

Please help with this issue if you have solved this problem.

Thanks

The intention is to keep the core portal as light as possible.

That is why many of the portlets, are in the plugins directory.

I think it is a great idea, but it can't be downloaded from the Plugins portlet, yet...
Does anything needs to be changed? Or from now on we should download it from the svn?

Thanks!
Mariano.

Hmm. And why do you add stuff like "random bible verse" to the standard distribution (which is most probably never needed by any enterprise portal) but not the mail portlet which is potentially more important to an enterprise portal than all the church/bible related plugins and features.

[Ewald Broekema, modificado 15 Anos atrás.]

Anyone managed to get the mail portlet running again using the settings from root.xml.
I have the settings the same as I had them for 5.0, but since 5.1 users have to specify imap server settings etc??

Furthermore it would be nice if someone was able to answer the question mentioned above since I was asking myself the same

Thank in advance

Ewald

Thanks for the links but it couldn't help me out.

The first link demonstrates how to install the mail plugin (already found that out)
The second one demonstrates how nice the portlet looks and some html mail but I want to know about the configuration of the accounts...

I dont want alle users have to create their own mail account settings..
The portlet needs to use the settings from root.xml file like it used to

Someone?? please..
