Currently we are using ldap plugin (version 2.1.0.507) for our Sonarqube (version 5.6.1) user authentication but our ldap is not configured for email. Thus every time we add an email locally for notifications it is wiped away when you log out via the ldap sync. Is there a way to disable the sync so that our locally configured emails remain?
Nope, not possible. LDAP Plugin fully delegates authentication, as well as synchronization of usernames and emails (+ groups if Group Mapping is configured).
No workaround, your best shot here really is to propagate email addresses in your LDAP server (which seems like a fair expectation for a user directory).

I have a working postfix smtp server on my Ubuntu 20.04 cloud machine. I can send/receive emails using the standard command line "mail" client. I am now looking for a way to do the same via web browser. I already am running nginx on the server.
It seems there are various apps such as RoundCube and SquirrelMail that are available on Ubuntu. However, they seem to require additional pop3/imap server packages to be installed.
As the webmail client is intended to be on the same machine as my smtp server is, I do not see why additional pop3/imap packages need to be installed.
Wondering if there is a simpler way to look at emails via web browser. Regards.
You need to install a web server, PHP (or whatever is required to run the webmail app of your choosing), and an IMAP server.
mail is an email client that knows how to directly access your messages on the filesystem, something that a web app has no capability to do. Also note that it is executed from the context of you having already logged in to your server as a particular user.
It's a Very Bad Idea to give your web server read/write access to parts of the filesystem outside the directories where your web-related files are kept (write access can and should be even more strict).
It's technically feasible to create a webmail app that does what you want (I think there may have been some attempts in the distant past), but it would be limited to systems with a very specific mail system setup and require some questionable permission tweaking. IMAP is the layer that abstracts your particular mail system setup from any of the various mail clients you may want to use to access your messages. It also helps make sure users and apps are not able to access things they should not.

Not that I can think of. Fortunately, this will get you most of the way there:
apt-get install dovecot-imapd
Dovecot will need minimal configuration in your case, and more time will be spent installing and tweaking whatever webmail client you choose (or you can try Thunderbird). And remember that the IMAP server can be limited to local clients (webmail counts as such) and need not be exposed to the Internet.
When messing around with different mail hosting options I noticed a very aggravating pattern with my Android phone. Neither the built-in mail app nor the gmail app supported email auto-configuration.
When using most mail services such as Namecheap, Zoho, Rackspace, etc. this became a real issue. I would enter my email address and password then instead of it just working like magic, it would invariably fail as it attempted to set the mail server to mail.example.com instead of mail.privateemail.com or smtp.zoho.com
I can configure a CNAME entry for my domain to redirect to these servers and successfully connect to mail.example.com.... up until I try to enable secure e-mail (STARTTLS or TLS wrapper). When I do this the domain name on the certificate does not match up to the domain name I am using to access and the whole thing fails.
Of course setting up my own mail server could be an option, but it could take months or years for my IP address to build up enough reputation to not get auto-blocked by major providers like Gmail or Yahoo. This whole past month DreamHost has been unable to send emails to any address owned by AT&T, which has been nightmarish to get resolved. Not wanting an issue like that, I would like to go with a big name for e-mail hosting.
While looking into Amazon SES to see if it would be easy to set up, I noticed this page on secure tunnels to AWS SES
I'm not super familiar with mail servers and I honestly have no idea what I'm reading on this page. Like I can follow the steps to install and configure this program and run it, but it doesn't accurately say what the purpose is of doing this. Am I right in believing that this might solve my SSL issue and allow me to send mail to mail.example.com without any issues? If so, is there any additional setup that I will require which is not adequately explained by this article?
I'm importing emails into Gmail via POP3. Is there a way to delete from the server messages with a certain keyword in the subject and leave everything else on the server? If not Gmail than is there any other way of doing this? PHP? It is not possible to create filters on the original server or to add any scripts / cron jobs... Thanks!
Just found that I have IMAP access too, so I installed Thunderbird and was able to selectively and permanently delete the messages from the server. Not sure if it is possible with POP3...
I'm currently using 1&1 and they have a system for managing emails. I need to make sure I don't lose access to my business site's email addresses. What can I do?
When you have application running in Windows Azure and you want to access your application with real domain name i.e. yoururl.com you actually don't transfer your domain. Your domain stick with the same domain registrar whoever it is (in this case 1&1) however you just use DNS or CNAME setup in Windows Azure application so your domain name point to actual application running on Windows Azure.
As far as I know if you are just setting your domain name via DNS/CNAME, pointing to Windows Azure application, there is no changed to your domain and it will intact with your domain registrar and will not impact anything else.
At last, I do have a question what are you doing with Windows Azure as you don't have better understanding about how it is impacting your when you are making decision, so you may need little more info/knowledge about what and why you are using Windows Azure and how it is going to impact your current setup.
Azure has no email system equivalent to that bundled with web hosting by many entry level providers (including, presumably, 1&1). You are either going to need to continue hosting your email with your existing host, or transfer your email domain to someone who offers pure email hosting. Another option might be to run your own mail server on a Windows Azure VM, but according to this post, this isn't yet possible due to networking restrictions: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/WAVirtualMachinesforWindows/thread/18da4da3-ebf3-48c7-9462-12fa4317175b
I need to setup a POP3/SMTP server on our Ubuntu server (example.com). Now I found postfix useful for this job. Is it possible to let users from the group users (on the system) use this service, so they can login with their username/password? For example, if kevin is a user from the group users, then he can login on the POP3 server and retrieve (and send) mail for kevin#example.com? Is it also possible to save the in- and outgoing e-mails in a database?
Regards,
Kevin
Here ís a link to the Postfix features. I have only found that they store users in the database.
I am using a mailserver configured after the tutorials of workarounds.org and have also implemented servers following this solution for a few clients with up to 100 concurrent users for now.
But for example the DBMail project offers at least storing mails to databases.
