HI Guys, 

I'm pretty new to Carbonio and I look for a new personal Mail solution for me.

What I'm missing right now in Carbonio to switch over is the ability to collect external accounts like POP3 or IMAP as well as the possibility to configure a Catch-all account. knowing that this is not the state of the art anymore but some domains I like to collect whats been send to them regardless if the recieiver is configured. Also to help users to get addressed even if they mistype the email address. 

 

I know that are tough ones, but looking forward to be able to migrate to Carbonio.

Hey sorry for stepping in but I didn't want to create a new topic to ask te same question. Is there any news on this? Not being able to add an external account it's pretty much the only reason I can't migrate to Carbonio right now

I don't think I can edit my previous message so:

After asking here I realized that Carbonio is based on Zimbra so I tried the "cabronio cds" command to add an external IMAP account.

First you need to create a folder:

zmmailbox -z -m account@domain.com createFolder -F u /yourfolder

The output will be the folder ID (something like "270")

Next, the full command for createDataSource:

carbonio cds account@domain.com imap "Profile Name" \
objectClass zimbraDataSource \
objectClass zimbraImapDataSource zimbraPrefFromDisplay "From Display" \
zimbraDataSourceName "Data Source Name" \
zimbraDataSourceFolderId "ID FROM PREVIOUS COMMAND" \
zimbraDataSourceType imap zimbraDataSourceConnectionType ssl \
zimbraDataSourceEnabled TRUE \
zimbraDataSourceHost "imap.gmail.com" \
zimbraDataSourceUsername "imapaccount@email.com" \
zimbraDataSourcePassword "imappassword" \
zimbraPrefFromAddress "YourPrefFromAddress" \
zimbraDataSourceEmailAddress "imappaccount@email.com" \
zimbraDataSourcePollingInterval 5m \
zimbraDataSourcePort 993

 

I just ran the command and it worked, the chosen folder started showing incoming emails.
BUT a new profile (or "persona") was NOT added to the accounts list. Also, the "From" field was not added. So I can not send emails from that address yet.

I'll continue testing
