Hi,

I got the following error in CC - mail adapter:

exception caught during processing mail message; java.io.IOException: unable to create a socket

both for pops and imaps protocols

I could not find answers to how to fix it.Any help will be appreciated.

Are there any other logs,trace to get more info about the error?

Thank you.

Hi,

java.io.IOException: unable to create a socket

This error is not related to mail scenario or cnfiguration but seems to be due to some firewall issue...check with your network guys to ensure that the port which you are using for this communication is able to paas the network firewall....check that you are using the desired port and it is able to pass the firwall settings.

Hi Rinku,

I checked the mail server url, acoount and password , if this was what you ment. I also read the wiki. It's a good one but describes simple pop and imap protocols.

I still have the same error message and I am using imaps and pops. I've read in forum post that I need to to implement (import) "SAP Cryptographic toolkit" and import a certificate to ABAP and Java part of XI.

Do you know how to do it? ( I am new to XI)

Thank you for your help.
