Is there a way to setup Emacs to get emails from a gmail account or hotmail account from a local machine (not from a web hosting provider) without using certificate (or how to install certificates on local machine)
I read some how-to-do and they spoke about SSL-Certificate to install on a specific folder (that point make me confuse).
Thank.

Decided to move from a shared hosting platform to an AWS based Hosting Environment (Acquia Cloud specifically). This environment doesn't offer e-mail services so the client kept the shared hosting to continue using that for email (they didn't want to spend the extra $2400 per year for G Suite Email Hosting).
In order to achieve this, we worked with the new host to use the shared site as a pass through so that the emails still go there, and the web traffic goes to the new server.
The nameservers go to the shared host. We have a DNS Cname www.example.com pointed to the new AWS server and the A record pointed at the shared host. It was the only way to keep the email still running. When we pointed the A record, that's when email went down. This was the suggestion from the hosting company.
So now if they go to http://example.com, https://www.example.com, http://www.example.com and www.example.com it all works fine, no problem. However if they go to https://example.com they get this issue right here:
1:
When we moved to the new host, the SSL certificate went with it. This causes some Search Engine Issues. I have an .htaccess redirect set up, but it still gives that error.
This is what myself and both hosting companies could best come up with, and it's not a great solution.
Is there a solution other than:
Carrying an SSL Certificate for both accounts
Moving email to a 3rd party provider like gmail
If there isn't we are going to go with one of these options, but I figured I'd ask first.
The only issue here is your certificate does not have example.com in your certificate SAN (Subject Alternative Name). By default, you should get this in your SAN but few CA don't provide it under SAN unless and until you tell them. Kindly find the image for your reference. If you have windows OS just save your certificate file in .crt or .cer format to view the SAN.
Else you can use below command if you Linux OS and the certificate is installed on the server
openssl s_client -connect website.com:443 | openssl x509 -noout -text | grep DNS
It will list the SAN
We host a website in our company.
A certificate was issued to www.ourdomainname.com from the company IT department.
Now we want to move the website to azure and install the certificate there.
I already exported the certificate with private key exported set to true from the server.
1.) What will happen when the certificate is installed on azure when it is also installed on our company server?
2.) What will happen when the website on our server is stopped in the server and the certificate is then imported to the azure website?
3.) How can I guarantee a soft transition time without any break?
The aim is:
Website on the company server going to be deleted and the website on azure is used instead.
What will happen when the certificate is installed on azure when it is also installed on our company server?
web site will be available via SSL in Azure too.
What will happen when the website on our server is stopped in the server and the certificate is then imported to the azure website?
web site on your server will be inaccessble.
How can I guarantee a soft transition time without any break?
it is more about DNS management. There is no much work with SSL. You just install SSL on both internal and Azure servers, so clients can access both. Test if web site on Azure works the same way as on your internal server. Then point all clients (via DNS) to a web site on Azure. When all clients move and there are no references to internal server, you can safely shutdown it.
The SSL Certificate which was exported from the current server has to be imported in Azure. The format of the certificate has to be PFX.
Now, in the DNS Management , you need to edit the A record for the URL and point it to the IP address of Azure. This will make sure that any request made will be handled by Azure .
I have a website running on a shared hosting provider (ie. without SSH access). CPanel is installed. Is it possible to install (and just as importantly, renew) a Let's Encrypt certificate automatically without SSH access? Perhaps a CPanel plugin or cron job (for automatic renewals)?
follow this tutorial to for auto renewal https://neurobin.org/docs/web/fully-automated-letsencrypt-integration-with-cpanel/
You can install Lets encrypt SSL using cPanel ssl/tls -->Install and Manage SSL for your site (HTTPS) --> Manage SSL Sites. To renew certificate you need to regenerate it using your account key and Certificate provided by Lestencrypt in first time. I have done successfully that on GreenGeeks shared hosting help of http://wayneoutthere.com/how-to-lets-encrypt-cpanel-shared-hosting/. You can use https://zerossl.com/free-ssl/#crt to generate Certificates and copy to Cpanel.
You can try to install SSL on your domain through cPanel >> Security >> SSL.
If you are unable to find this in your cPanel then you need to install SSL on your domain through WHM.
You will need Let's Encrypt itself to be installed on the server before running any plugin or crontab job (specially that).
I doubt there is a way to do that without SSH connection, specially on a shared server.
I am working with a client who needs SSL on their Email and Web Site.
We have their site hosted on a Rackspace Cloud Site (Wordpress so Apache and all that jazz).
From what I can tell their Email is on an ISS server of their own.
They want to apply this SSL Cert they bought through GoDaddy and apply it to this email server and to the site on our hosting server. Now I am only a Web Developer with enough server knowledge to get sites launched and running, But I don't think you can apply the same SSL Cert on two different types of servers.
What would the solution be for this?
Would you purchase a second ssl? Is that even possible?
Sorry if this is a all completely wrong I am trying to use my limited knowledge of SSL to describe the situation.
I'm pretty sure you can use the same certificate if it's going on two servers as long as they are both using the same domain. You don't need to purchase a second ssl. The tricky part might be if the two servers require different certificate file formats.
Also, just do the CSR part on ONE of the servers (use the one you trust the most). On the other server just install the certificate bypassing the CSR part.
I have redirected a domain from PLESK to another server (cPanel) and also I have transferred the code from PLESK TO cPanel. Now my website is running well. I have created my email on cPanel and i am using webmail to access my email account.
But want to transfer old email messages from PLESK to cPanel. I have searched and found that email messages are stored on PLESK on this location:
# /var/qmail/
Is there any way to transfer email email messages from PLESK to cPanel?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
You can fetch mail from your PLESK server and have it imported into cPanel.
Simply login to your cPanel
Access your webmail and access Horde
Once logged in, on the left hand side, click OPTIONS then Mail
On the center of the screen under “Message Options” click “Fetch Mail”
Create a new account, enter your details from your email account located on your PLESK server (for the incoming/outgoing servers, use your PLESK server hostname)
Email will then begin to be downloaded into your cPanel inbox.
That should do the trick :)
Horde doesn't have the Fetch Mail option anymore.
So, the easiest solution is manual transfer using Outlook or Thunderbird.
How to move email from any server into cPanel use an IMAP client like Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird?
First, configure each new email account on cPanel (including any sub-folders). Next, configure your IMAP client (Outlook or Thunderbird) with each email account on each server.
One account for the old account (if it is not already there) and one account for the new account created with cPanel.
You may find it easier to use the actual IP addresses of each respective server to avoid name resolution issues.
Replace example.com with IP address (use ping example.com on your CMD console to find out the IP of the old server)
After that, you just need to drag-and-drop the old messages from the old account into the new account on Outlook or Thunderbird and delete the old account.
When finishing with all accounts, change your domain DNS to the new cPanel hosting server and you're done.
It will be downtime?
Depends on the number of email boxes you have to transfer and on other websites or applications you have to move from the old domain name. Normally it should work fast enough to not have any problems but I suggest doing this after working hours.
