Hi,
I’ve the following problem:
We have an internet mail server (non Domino) and the user is getting mail via IMAP in Notes.
We also have internal Notes mail with the users mailbox on a Domino Server.
So, what I want is to receive the mails with IMAP (Client) from the internet mail server and replicate/synchronise these mails with the users mailbox on the internal Domino Server.
Is this possible? How is the correct configuration for that?
Thanks for your help

So why not just forward mails to domino mail file?

Hello Tom,thanks for your answer, but this is not realy a suitable solution in my case. The internal Domino Server is not reachable from the internet. So forwarding by the internet mail server will not work. (Btw.: We tried some settings with fetchmail to avoid this, but this caused trouble with BCC receipients)
Forwarding the mails manually isn’t that practicable too, because in this case it isn’t possible to distinguish between the several sender adresses.
What I’m searching for is to get mail in a lokal Notes Maildatabase by IMAP (Offline IMAP)and then to replicate this one with the users mailfile on the Domino server. The IMAP stuff works pretty good, but so far it was not possible to replicate or synchronise a local IMAP Notes Database with a “normal” Notes Database on a Domino Server in any way. The replicator tells, that this is not allowed. (I changed the Templates from POP3 to IMAP after creating a lokal replica of the server mail database).
What I’m confused about is that with “Offline IMAP” settings in the account document, all mails are present on the local machine (I can take a look into it with a text editor). Why isn’t it possible to replicate this file with the mailfile on the server?
Greetings

Probably there are no rules available in the local IMAP-DB?Did you try to replicate the user’s mailbox on the server to local and then change the design to IMAP? So you get a local replica, which can access the IMAP-Server and replicates to the Domino-Server. [if it works. ;-)]
Otherwise write an agents, which (perhaps) copies every day the new IMAP mails in the local mailfile to the server, and place it in the local IMAP mailfile.

Hi Marc,
yes i tried it with the loacal replica, but after changing the template the replicator told, that replication is not allowed with the domino server. (I don’t remeber the exact message anymore).
The idea with the agent is not that bad, but it’s a little bit overhead, because only few users want to have this special setting.
Thanks anyway.
Manfred
