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 am hosting the email for one of my domains at Gmail. I then run an IMAP client on my local computer to read and send email. Totally standard.
I now want to move the hosting for that domain to another email provider, where I will again run an IMAP client to deal with the mail.
Question: What happens to all the messages that are currently on Gmail? I THINK that they will stay in place, and I'll be able to access them via gmail.com and/or a Gmail app. But maybe not? Maybe Gmail will somehow find out about the MX change and decide that it should delete them all, because Reasons. Or it can't find the messages on its own server because the MX has changed, and so won't let me see them. Or something. In any case, losing access to these old messages would be Very Bad.
So, which is it? Will the world behave the way that I'm 99% sure that it will, such that I'll still be able to go to gmail.com and read the old messages after the switch? Or do I need to move the old messages somewhere else before making the hosting switch? Thanks for helping with my paranoia!
Google doesn't care what domain you use to route emails towards your Gmail inbox. If you change your domain to use another email provider, you will still have your existing Gmail inbox, until you shut down your Gmail account. So any existing emails in your Gmail inbox will be left untouched.
The same goes for any other hosting provider.
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 have a dedicated Linux web server where my website is running like www.example.com.
Now I want to start another service for my users and want to give mailing features like Gmail and Yahoo mail.
I want to give facility to my users to create email IDs as they create on Gmail or Yahoo Mail and use it as their email address like XYZ#example.com or ABC#example.com.
Is this possible for me to use my dedicated web server as mail server too,
or I need to hire a new specific mail server for this purpose.
Also, if I can use my server as mail server and can give IMAP and POP like features then what are the PROs and CONs in that?
My hosting company says that I have facility to create unlimited email addresses
and I have created a few for mt like support#example.com and feedback#example.com
and I am getting emails on these IDs.
Is that mean, my hosting already have setup a mail server for me (the same I mentioned in my question and want to setup)
Or this is just for me to use and manage my website and I can not share these email addresses with my users by giving an email service.
Yes you can run simultaneously a web and mail server. Follow part 3 of this guide: http://mysql-apache-php.com/ to set up email. Just make sure that your router is fully capable (supports NAT etc.) - it should be able anyway
However it does appear from your question that your hosting company has set up its own mail server. Which does mean unlimited emails, however the only issue could be the amount of space they are willing to host for you (As in you can only have 2 GB of space on their mail server). Hope this helps.
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 have a project to send some email to end clients. My client need to know what exactly "Email Client" they use to read the mail. I know a hidden can get the open event and even the user agent they use, so by parsing user agent i can get most email clients info.
But it's hard to detect some popular web mail clients like "Gmail", "Hotmail" and "Yahoo mail". Because user agent return is only the browser user agent string.
Edit: i think i need a result more like this:

You will not be able to perfectly detect the e-mail client your users are using.
In E-Mail headers some programs choose to include the X-Mailer tag, which tells you exactly with what program and version your user is sending the e-mail - of course that can be faked. Not all programs use the X-Mailer tag, I e.g. couldn't find it in a mail sent with Microsoft Outlook 2010.
Besides that you could do some guesswork by the Received from tag in the e-mail headers, but in the end you can use SMTP and POP3 with most webmailers like GMail or Yahoo. That means even though your e-mail is sent via servers from google.com, the originating client could still be Outlook or Thunderbird and not GMail itself.
Maybe we can help you if you better if you could tell us why exactly your client wants to know the programs the users use to read their mail? Probably to tune the appearance of newsletters?
I know this is a really old topic, but the most reliable way to detect webmail client for gmail, hotmail, outlook.com and office365 is to use a tracking pixel. What you will want to do is geo-locate the IP address and you'll find gmail all comes from mountain-view and microsoft based products from redmond.
I haven't validated this with non-US users, but I'd imagine the caching services they use will all be in the same place.
