Frequently Asked Questions

I'm unable to log in. I'm getting the invalid username/password error.

Please update Mailr to the latest revision from the subversion repository. There is a new configuration option called "imap_auth". It is used to specify the authentication method used to connect to the IMAP server. The default value is "PLAIN" which works for Courier IMAP but I guess that some IMAP servers do not support "PLAIN" so in this case you can try to set "LOGIN" method. To do so you have to add the following line to your config/site.rb file:

:imap_auth => 'LOGIN'

Is there any way to cause mailr to just send a "login" command during the IMAP chat session, without sending an "authenticate" command?

It is possible to cause mailr to send a "login" command now. Could you please update to the latest revision and add the following line to your config/site.rb file:

:imap_auth => 'NOAUTH'

When I try to send an email I get an error complaining that the sender has no domain name. How do I configure mailr so that it appends "@mydomain" to my username when sending mail?

Add the following line to your config/site.rb file:

:send_from_domain => 'your_domain'

I am getting "unexpected token RPAR" error

 

Update Oct 2007: Those two patches for imap.rb fixed the problem for me:

http://shugo.net/tmp/imap-no-body-fld-md5.diff

http://dinhe.net/~aredridel/2007/09/28-imap/imap-delivery-failure.patch

Update: Ticket is created for this problem on RubyForge by Brian Skahan (see http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=426&atid=1698&func=detail&aid=3983)

Add the following line to your config/site.rb file:

:debug_imap => true

You should be able to see the debug messages of Net::IMAP on stderr (if you are using Webrick you will see the debug messages on the console).

How can I help/join the Mailr project?
