Hi All,
I have IMAP & POP3 running on my server. I want to enable users to send and recieve email from outside the internal network using a POP3 or IMAP client.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Buwaneka

Does your users can access imap or pop3 server from internal network?If yes, than you might want to discuss with your network guys to help setting your dns and firewall stuff.
Subject: POP3 & IMAP
Yes, I have allowed their IPs to relay mails. But it is not possible when they come from an unidentified IP(From Internet cafes etc)

You need to run load convert -e to enable your users mail files for IMAP. You should also run the -h option (run them separately, -e first) to allow message headers to be downloaded more efficiently. Without doing this, every time an IMAP user opens their mail IMAP will have to scan each document in its entirety to determine the format. This is very resource intensive thus increasing CPU usage, especially if you have a lot of IMAP users.
Caution: convert -h could take a long time to run, especially on larger mail files. You may want to run it during off hours.
Lastly, user’s Person document Format preference for incoming mail should be set to Prefers MIME.
