I want to consolidate all my emails to 1 gmail account. 1 of the accounts I want to add into Gmail, however, doesn't allow POP3 import or Email Forwarding, so there's no way to get those messages into Gmail webmail. I was wondering if anyone knew of a Desktop Client that has the same/most similar interface as GMail but allows IMAP import. Alternatively, if anyone knows of a WebMail with IMAP import and a similar interface to GMail, that would work also. I am currently using Thunderbird on desktop with a filter that moves messages from all accounts into the Gmail account, but obviously this only works while the software is running.

OK, I'm not sure this question even belongs here but here goes...
I have an email server running Postfix and Dovecot and a couple of mailboxes there. Using third party email services like Gmail or Outlook I've noticed they fetch an avatars for some emails. Question is how can I attach an avatar to my own mailboxes on my own server such that others will recognize them? Is this a part of mail protocols that I can set up somehow or should I use any third-party services?
Avatars are handled by mail client, not mail server. Gmail fetchs google+ avatars for #gmail.com and outlook fetchs avatar from a Microsoft global exchange address book.
AFAIK there is no protocol for email avatars and no easily possible 3rd party integration into gmail or outlook.
I want my fellow workers in my company, able to connect to work mail from home,
we are able to retrieve the mails through outlook express but not thunderbird.
So our employees using thunderbird can't retrieve these emails.
Is there any fix for this?
You could you outlook.com's web based interface to connect to POP3 accounts, similar to what you do in outlook express.
Similarly you could add your email as additional account in gmail too.
I am a student at Kennesaw State University. The college email is connected with GMail as the web client, but I cant find a way to connect the PoP (or IMAP, even though PoP is the only one Outlook stated) servers to Outlook (or any other clients). I want to do this so I can have one universal client for all of my mail accounts.
There are many... http://www.k-state.edu/its/zimbra/help/email_clients/ol2003.html http://www.k-state.edu/its/zimbra/help/email_clients/ol2007.html
..."official" guides on how to do this, but no one has had any luck. I want to not only receive, but send emails from this account.
Has anyone had any luck doing this (I think some companies use the same google GMail set-up).
I would like to add that there is the same issue with Zimbra.
I'm using Confluence and I want to send every Confluence user the daily notifications of the changes on it without making them to suscribe that notifications manually. All my Confluence users are members of a Yahoo group, so I want to send that message to the group automatically to make my Confluence users receive it.
My first idea was to create a user in Confluence whose email address was the same as the Yahoo group, and suscribe only that user to the notifications, so the mail will be received by all the members of the group (which are the same as Confluence users). I tried it but Confluence does not send the mail to the Yahoo account (I don't know why). The outgoing mail server is well-configured, because I receive the notifications in my email account (I'm suscribed manually to the notifications).
I supposed that the problem was with Yahoo mail or maybe with Yahoo Groups, so I decided to use an intermediate email account (I could solve it with Google Grous, but I need to avoid managing another group), and I used Gmail. I configured the forwarding, but it does not work with autogenerated mails, so I tried it with hotmail, but I have the same problem.
Does anybody know how to solve it?
Gmail does not forward autogenerated mails, but if you use a mail client like Thunderbird or Outlook, the mails are forwarded.
I am using Thunderbird mail client for gmail accounts. Its works fine, enjoying functionality too. I have problem with this mail client. In client inbox it has a list of unread mails and once viewed it becomes read mail. That's not happening on the gmail servers. If I login to gmail I'm still finding unread mails which I read in Thunderbird.
Please help me how to solve this problem. Is there any option or settings or add-ons which change status of mail when I read it?
Sounds like you setup Thunderbird to use POP to get your email instead of using IMAP. If you go into Gmail and go Settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP there is instructions on how to setup an external mail client, like Thunderbird, to use IMAP to get your emails. Just enable IMAP access, and click the link for configuration instructions. There is a section explaining how to setup IMAP access in Thunderbird. In using IMAP, as you read email in Thunderbird, it will be marked as read in Gmail.
Most email services these days allow IMAP access through external clients. POP is good for just getting messages quickly, but IMAP allows the client to pass data back, as well (at least in the case of Gmail) as pull over folders, calendars and notes to your client.
