Hello all,

I am having problems configuring the mail session that SO uses for notification etc.
There are no error messages produced, however no emails get sent.

Following the instructions in the documentation, i have added the following to the portal-ext.properties file

mail.session.mail.pop3.host=my.host.com
mail.session.mail.pop3.password=****
mail.session.mail.pop3.port=110
mail.session.mail.pop3.user=username
mail.session.mail.smtp.auth=false
mail.session.mail.smtp.host=my.host.com
mail.session.mail.smtp.password=****
mail.session.mail.smtp.port=25
mail.session.mail.smtp.user=username
mail.session.mail.store.protocol=pop3
mail.session.mail.transport.protocol=smtp

I have also tried several proposed solutions to similar problems in this forum, but to no avail.
Note that I can telnet the mail server from the host running SO through the ports above.

I am using SO 1.5b with Tomcat 6.0.18 and MySQL Server 5.5

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure that you did not change any property in UI. Properties modified using UI/control panel always override the properties in portal-ext.properties.
