AW: Hi I need help for apache james! [unsigned]

Hello Benjamin,

I am firm with James 2.3.2, but not using James 3 now. I am just starting.
We use 2.3.2 in production, so switching is a big step which is just a work in progress.

We are still on an older version of James 3, not using sieve, so could not tell something about.
Also, we do not use HUPA, so dito.

1.
The usual way to access the mailboxes of an mailserver is to use an email client, and set up IMAP connection to that james server.
You could set up POP3 to, but I prefer IMAP.
So there is no "logging in" to the windows server.

2.
Logging in as a root user means, you log in to your windows machine, as an "Administrator" (or someone in the administration group).
In James 2.3.2, you "logged in" to james by "telnet" to a James admin prozess.
This is not the way in James 3. Here you start a java programm via windows command line.
So just open a windows command line, change to your installation directory, and enter
"java org.apache.james.cli.ServerCmd --host localhost listusers"
See https://james.apache.org/server/3/quick-start.html Step No. 8.

3.
Do not know HUPA.

Over all, you could download and install the "beta4" and work with this release.
If you would like to, you could use the latest source version, you could do this in eclipse and connecting to the source.
As of Februar 2016, all sources have moved to "git", so this is an option. See:
http://james.apache.org/newsarchive.html#a20160208

My documentation about Eclipse, Maven, and SVN is outdated. Need to be updated, yes, of course.
For building from source try this:
https://james.apache.org/server/3/dev-build.html

Best regards
Bernd

Betreff: Hi I need help for apache james!

Hi guys. I don't know if I am asking in the correct forums but I am
desperately in need of help using this framework as resources are not easy
for me to find.

I have installed Apache James 3 on my Windows 10 64-bit machine.
I also have successfully set up apache james 3 and able to telnet into
127.0.0.1 port25.
So I tested by adding domains and users based on apache james' quickstart
guide.

Everything is successful and working well but now this is another question.
How do I move up a step?

1. I would love to know how do I log in as a user to read the email sent by
another user in the server.
2. I read up on logging in as a root user but there is no way I can find out
how to add a user as I could not find config.xml in beta3 because apache
2.3.2 there is this folder called config.xml to add root users but it can
not be found in beta3.
3. How do I integrate HUPA with apache james?

I am working on making an email server that enable users to be registered by
an administrator. I would love to see a 'live' demo of being able to email
from one user to another user and also logging in to read emails.

I have also tried to extract SVN and building with Eclipse. I have done it
successfully but I do not know how to start james in eclipse. So I am also
stuck here. I see HUPA in Eclipse but I also have no idea how do i start
that.

What should I do next to get my project started? All I see is just Message
received and that is all. I really need some directions for me to move
ahead. Been stuck at this for like 1 week trying out all version of james
and also trying to integrate hupa and james.
I would appreciate it if help is provided as google is not providing me as
much information as I need.

Regards.
