Hi,

Yes self signed certificats can be the source of your troubbles.

I suggest you to go along with let's encrypt ACME wich works great and is easy 
to use - and free of charge.

On Nov 20, 2024 7:48 PM, from guy.tremblay@welnx.comHi all,



I struggle with mail certificates with James, and general setup. I use
Apache on Windows.



I made self signed certificates using keytool:

keytool -genkey -alias xyz -keyalg RSA -keystore conf/keystore



I setup ports 993 for incoming and 465 for outgoing with login and
configured in the imapserver and smtpserver configuration files.



I can receive or send emails on outlook in Windows. I can receive and send
emails on Outlook on iPhone but I don't receive new mail notifications.

When I setup the email on my iphone with Mail or Gmail I struggle to
configure the accounts; only works on iPhone in Outlook. I managed to make
it working with Mail but somehow stopped working at some point.



I am not sure if the self signed certificate is the issue or the James
configuration, or else. Perhaps I should submit a certificate to the
certificate authority, but I have failed so far it is quite complicated.



*       Can anyone suggest on where and how to configure the mail server
address in James?

*       I configured in domainlist.xml but unsure if setup correctly

*       Anyone had success or similar issues with certificates?

*       Are self-signed certificates okay?

*       Anyone know how to submit certificates to  certificate authority?



I followed this for the most part:

james.apache.org/server/config-ssl-tls.html



Kind regards, Cordialement,

Guy
