I'm using s22.Imap referance for fetch new mails from server. While read exchange server everything was perfect. But we were moved to office365. Now I can't read new mails from my project. Here is small codes.
using (ImapClient client = new ImapClient("outlook.office365.com", 993, user, pass, AuthMethod.Login, true)) {
// Returns a collection of identifiers of all mails matching the specified search criteria.
IEnumerable<uint> uids = client.Search(SearchCondition.New());
// Download mail messages from the default mailbox.
IEnumerable<MailMessage> messages = client.GetMessages(uids);
foreach (MailMessage item in messages) { blablabla }
This part return this error : The stream could not be read.
Lastly I'm using this codes in windows service application. So I'm not clearly debuging.
Is anyone help me ?
Office365 does not support AuthMethod.Login. Try AuthMethod.Plain or try using a different IMAP library like my MailKit library which is more actively maintained.
Hope that helps.
its possible but I think that the suscription of the account should be
Exchange Online, instead of a classic suscription
I do the same with S22 library, but we request to change the configuration of the mail to accept imap conection

I am sending emails using the .NET SmtpClient via Office 365.
The emails are sent without problem, however the messages are not later shown in sent items.
Is there a way to configure either O365 or SmtpClient to retain a copy of any message sent through SMTP in the mailbox?
Martin.
the Exchange Web Services Managed API might solve your issue. There's a method named SendAndSaveCopy() - shown in the below sample:
private void sendEmail()
{
ExchangeService myservice = new ExchangeService();
myservice.AutodiscoverUrl("name#domain.com");
EmailMessage mymessage = new EmailMessage(myservice);
mymessage.Subject = "mysubject";
mymessage.Body = "mybody";
mymessage.ToRecipients.Add("myrecipient");
mymessage.Save();
mymessage.SendAndSaveCopy();
}
You can get the Exchange Web Services Managed API here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/mt674770.aspx
Please also find an example how to use den Exchange Web Services Managed API here:
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Send-Email-with-Exchange-50189e57
Please let me know if this works for you.

Newbie to Azure, but got my application successfully published to the cloud as well as my needed database backends (SQL server).
Everything within the application is working as expected except email functionality. I am sending out email alerts via a gmail account, but they do not appear to get sent out. The application does not crash and trying to configure remote debugging has proven difficult.
This is the snippet I am using to send out my emails:
//Parse html document which will show in outgoing email
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["template"]));
string body = reader.ReadToEnd();
//Populate placeholders with message variables
body = body.Replace("<%holder%>", value);
...Omitted for brevity
try
{
var smtp = new SmtpClient
{
Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
Port = 587,
EnableSsl = true,
DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
UseDefaultCredentials = false,
Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress.Address, fromPassword)
};
using (var message = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress)
{
IsBodyHtml = true,
Subject = subject,
Body = body,
})
{
smtp.Send(message);
}
}
Application didn't crash, so no error message to go off of. So I thought maybe it wasn't able to grab the file in the lines:
StreamReader(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["template"]));
string body = reader.ReadToEnd();
So I tried just sending a hardcoded string as a test:
string body = "test";
Still no email received and no error message to go off of. I'm new to azure web hosting, but is there some configuration I could be missing here? Does Azure allow sending email through third party email clients? Fyi - the above code works against localhost.
Sending e-mail from a public cloud is not as trivial as some people believe. There are a lot of things to figure out in order to not get blacklisted. Especially when you intend to use a public mail service.
My first guess is that Azure Data Center IP addresses (or the one you are hosted on) might be blacklisted by mail servers (including Microsoft's very own Office 365).
I have to also mention that recommended way for sending e-mail from an Application hosted in Azure is by using SendGrid. They have a free tier. More information from Microsoft on that subject, can be found here.
The only way to troubleshoot the exact cause of your problem is to contact GMail support and ask them if they block in any way network clients connecting from Azure cloud. Or create a VM in the same Data Center where your web application lives, install some free / trial Mail client, configure it with Google Mail and try to send e-mails. The result most probably will be same as with your application.
I am using the latest Joomla build for my website.
Allso we use a DNS record for having the mail delivered to our own server instead of the server on which the website is hosted.
I have used several contact form components, but every sent mail goes to my SPAM folder.
After searching hours on the web (and getting linked to this site frequently) i decided to make a new post.
It does not matter if i use the standard joomla forms, or any component.
Whenever a user fills in a form on my website, the email gets sent. The user receives a copy of its message, and i receive the message of the user. However, this message gets thrown in the spam folder, as phishing.
The sender of the mail always is: username#nameserver.i3d.net; namens; websitename
What do i have to change/enable/disable for this to work?
Thanks in advance.
Patrick.
(Sorry, I'm new to Joomla, but it uses PHP, so this may apply. Also this answer got a little long...)
It might be an issue with the email headers. A lot of email clients will automatically spam-box all mail where the address in the From: header doesn't match the envelope sender. As an analogy, you might not trust a snail-mail letter signed "Your Rich Uncle", mailed in an envelope with a Nigerian return address. Also if your envelope sender has a different domain than the one the email is actually sent from, that's another quick ticket to the junk bin. For more info about Gmail's message blocking policies (and general good practices), you can try this help page.
Here's some basic PHP email-sending code:
$to = $userEmailAddress;
$subj = $emailSubject;
$mesg = $emailMessage;
$headers = implode("\r\n",array(
"MIME-Version: 1.0"
,"Content-type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"
,"From: WEB_ADMIN_NICE_NAME <WEB_ADMIN#YOURSERVER.COM>" // *** 'From:' header
));
$from = "-fWEB_ADMIN#YOURSERVER.COM"; // *** envelope sender
if(!mail($to, $subj, $text, $headers, $from)){
//Some error handling...
}
On the first line I commented, you'll want to replace WEB_ADMIN_NICE_NAME with the name you want the email recipient to see (e.g. "Bill Gates"), and on both lines, replace WEB_ADMIN#YOURSERVER.COM with the actual return address (e.g. "da_boss#microsoft.com"). Note: whatever address you choose for the return address is where users' replies will be sent.
To reiterate, make sure both lines have the same return address (though the nice name can be anything you like), and make sure that the actual server sending the mail is in fact located at YOURSERVER.COM.
Lastly, I'm not sure where Joomla does its mailing, but if you're totally lost, you can try grepping with -lr for 'mail[[:space:]]*('.
there are several reasons that could make your email look suspicious to spam filters; to find out which head on to:
http://www.mail-tester.com
grab the email address and send an email from your website to it.
Then go back to the page and it will tell you what's wrong.
btw I'm struggling with the same issue,my problem being that on Joomla 2.5.9 apparently when you send html emails, a text-only copy is not added to the message, which is considered "spammish behaviour"
The problem is the i3d.net email address. My personal experience is that their network (31.204.154.0 - 31.204.155.255) is a significant source of spam and they do not action abuse reports. I suggest changing your hosting company.
UPDATE: (2/29/12) Okay, so I've run into this same issue again for a different client on a completely different server and hosting company.
Again, having a script with just mail() sends out the email correctly with no issues. I then added code that is similar to what I have below and hooked it up with paypal IPN. Every time a new payment comes in, the IPN fires, the data gets saved to the db but the mail() function just doesn't work.
However, I ran into an interesting issue. I did a test IPN fire from paypal's sandbox with the same script and the email was sent out.
Is this an issue with paypals production IPN, perhaps the way that it posts data to the script?
Any information here would be extremely helpful since my current solution using cronjobs is sloppy.
END UPDATE
I have my paypal IPN listener configured properly since it writes all the information to the DB when a new payment comes in. Now I'm trying to setup a mail() function that sends me an email alert of a new payment.
I have done this before for another project but I can't for the life of my figure out why it's not working this time. I'm not getting any error's in the error_log and the rest of the script runs fine.
I've tested to make sure that the server actually does send mail with a standalone mail() script. I'm really lost and confused here.
Here's the code that I have:
mail('test#email.com', 'New Order', 'New Order', 'From: support#website.com');
define("_VALID_PHP", true);
require_once('../php/init.php');
$item_number = $_POST['item_number'];
$payment_gross = $_POST['payment_gross'];
$payment_status = $_POST['payment_status'];
$payer_email = $_POST['payer_email'];
$txn_id = $_POST['txn_id'];
if ($payment_status == 'Completed') {
$query = $db->query("SELECT price, id, uid FROM invoice WHERE md5='$item_number'");
$row = $db->fetch($query);
$iid = $row['id'];
$uid = $row['uid'];
if ($row['price'] == $payment_gross){
$invoiceUpdate['paid'] = 1;
$update = $db->update('invoice', $invoiceUpdate, "md5='$item_number'");
}
}
$data['iid'] = $iid;
$data['uid'] = $uid;
$data['payment_status'] = $payment_status;
$data['payer_email'] = $payer_email;
$data['payment_gross'] = $payment_gross;
$data['txn_id'] = $txn_id;
$db->insert('payment', $data);
Since your mail function returns true and your code looks correct, i think you should check the mail log because the problem might not be related to code. Try to send a mail and then check the mail log on the server...once i lost two days trying to figure out a similar problem and in the end the problem was that my mail was not accepted by other servers.
to finde your mail log you can do (from the shell):
updatedb;
locate mail.log
or
locate maillog
this assumes you are using linux, but the problem might as well exists also on windows
The code seems correct to me.
My advice:
Create a new PHP script and test the function there. Does it work?
Attempt PHP SMTP authentication with your mail server and send the email that way. Does it work? (You can use the PEAR Mail Package or any other valid SMTP class.)
If the above also fails then attempt to use the SMTP script with a custom service (e.g GMail) and check if emails are being sent. Here are the GMail SMTP parameters.
If all of the above fail, the problem is definitely with your hosting provider.
how about start off with a call to mail(), then gradually add the code that process $_POST to see when it breaks down? You should have sandbox testing with paypal to make this easier.
On a side note, you should send a verify message to Paypal server to check if the request is actually originated from Paypal, just for security.
Problem isn't in your PHP code, but on server-side. You might have full mail or your provider/your server has problems with SMTP server. Check configuration/Contact provider.
use phpmailer for mail tasks,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/
it will allow you to debug email problems easily.
If you've already tested the mail() function and it sends then I don't think it's anything to do with your mail settings. One word of advice, however, is that you need to be careful with the e-mail addresses you put into the mail() function. A lot of hosting providers nowadays prohibit you from sending e-mails from domains that aren't officially registered (so test#email.com would not work - it needs to be from your domain and it needs to be a valid e-mail address you've set up - it can't be a fake address at your real domain).
If it's still not working, try manually updating the php.ini settings:
<?php ini_set ( sendmail_from, "my_email#my_server.com" ); ?>
Once this is done try putting your mail() at the bottom of the script and feeding one variable to it. So an example might be:
mail('test#email.com', 'New Order', $iid, 'From: support#website.com');
If nothing's being sent, I suggest you re-evaluate your code to see if variables are filtering through your if statements. If all else fails, contact your hosting provider and describe to them your mail problems - it might be a server issue after all. If you're running it on localhost, then that's a different matter entirely (it's quite tricky setting up mail() on a localhost server).
Are you using this code on Windows or on Linux ?
The mail function should execute you must be linking the ipn to a duplicate ipn-handler php file or you did not properly save the changes to the server.
Otherwise it just does not make sense your code is crisp clear and if you send out the mail right on the top it should work.
Now if you are on Windows mail() usually isnt the best choice as Windows lacks default 'sendmail'.
my problem is:
in the controller I have:
var $components = array('Email');
the method to send emails looks like this:
function send_emails() {
$this->Email->from = 'Somebody <somebody#example.com>';
$this->Email->to = 'Somebody Else <myspamplace#centrum.cz>';
$this->Email->subject = 'Test';
$this->Email->send('Hello message body!');
}
I am using Cake 1.3 and running it on localhost with Apache 2.2.11 and PHP5. Do you guys have any idea why it doesn't work?
When I put
$this->Email->delivery = 'debug';
in the code, it displays the email info and it seems like everything is ok.
Do you have any ideas what can be the reason why it doesn't send email?
If you're developing on a remote server, i.e. a hosting server, then that should work as it'll pick up the default email.
As you're not, you have to give the mail component some email capability. You can do this by, for example, feeding in your gmail (or whatever) smtp details, i.e. server, login, password.
/* SMTP Options for GMAIL */
$this->Email->smtpOptions = array(
'port'=>'465',
'timeout'=>'30',
'auth' => true,
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'username'=>'your_username#gmail.com',
'password'=>'your_gmail_password',
);
/* Set delivery method */
$this->Email->delivery = 'smtp';
See http://book.cakephp.org/view/1290/Sending-A-Message-Using-SMTP
If you're not sure what credentials to use, look it up in your email provider's help or faq. Typically it can be found by searching for how to set up Outlook or Thunderbird.
Are you sending from a windows server? If so, have you properly setup your MTA in the php ini? Can you send mail using the mail() function?
If you are on windows and need an MTA, hMail is great for development, note that many hosts will reject mail from your local machine a spam so don't use on production without an MX record, domain keys etc.
You need an SMTP server to send email. If you are trying to send it from your localhost, two good alternatives are:
FreeSMTP: A Windows-based tool that lets your computer act like an SMTP Server
Gmail: You can use your Gmail address for testing purposes.
You need to follow the instructions to send email using CakePHP through SMTP. You could also modify your php.ini settings to reflect the new settings.
I had the same problem, I forgot to enable ssl on my xampp server, for that it is necessary just to add(or uncomment) extension=php_openssl.dll line in your php.ini file. Hope it helps.
