[horde] horde dyndns googlemail

[cozmo]

Hello again,

maybe it is interesting for somebody I updated the conf.php with following
information and now the smtp sending works. I have not tried this with
googlemail but I suppose it should also work similar. 

You can also use the administrator login. Then go to: Administration -
Setup- Horde - Mailer

$conf['mailer']['params']['host'] = 'smtp.sever.de';
$conf['mailer']['params']['port'] = 25;
$conf['mailer']['params']['auth'] = 'LOGIN';
$conf['mailer']['params']['username'] = 'usernamexxx';
$conf['mailer']['params']['password'] = 'passwordxxx';
$conf['mailer']['type'] = 'smtp';

Florian I have a question about the topic above.

I understood everything with the receiving of emails but I'm still a little
bit confused how the sending is realized.

What I understood is that you connect to horde with the local imap account.
There you have on the left side folders for your different "real" email
accounts (gmail, gmx etc) Now you are able to read all your emails which you
have perviously collected with fetchmail.
The question I have is how do you select from which emailaccount you send
messages. I understood that you use local smtp and probably you just say to
use a different identity. Is it possible to select this identity before
sending emails within Horde-IMP? Or do you send all the time from one
account (your local with your local identity) ? If it is possible to select
different identities how do you set up horde to realize that.

What I want is similar to Outlook. There you have also the possibility to
receive emails for the different accounts and to select the identity with
which you send the email.

Would be a good Idea ;-) I suppose a lot of people would need / read it.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Kind regards,
Sepp
