Error in GMail Sender Channel

[former_member559248]

Hi Community !

I'm trying to configure a sender cc to retrieve e-mails from GMail through IMAP.

My configuration is as follow:

Adapter : Mail 7.11

Transport protocol : IMAP4

Message protocol : XIPAYLOAD

imaps://imap.gmail.com:993/Inbox

Authentication Method : Plain

User : my_user

Password : xxx - xxx

I double-checked with basis team, firewall is correctly setup.

However, I get following error message:

exception caught during processing mail message; iaik.security.ssl.SSLException: Invalid SSL message, peer seems to be talking plain!

I tried to switch authentication method to CRAM-MD5, but no success.

Any clue ?

Thanks a lot for your help !

Thanks for your replies.

We need to use secure communication. I would prefer to use IMAP instead of POP, since account can be accessed from multiple ways (manually or thru PI) and IMAP is a better option for synchronization in this case.

As indicated in GMail help, we also need to use SSL :

http://support.google.com/mail/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=ts.cs&ts=1668960&from=75726&rd=1

I would like that we stick to my scenario: Access GMail thru IMAP over SSL. PI should be able to do that simple thing, but I'm not able to achieve this !

Any other idea ?

Hi Sebastien,

please try with normal SMTP.

SMTP is only for sending the mails.  POP3 or  IMAP3 are used for retrieving mails from the mail server.

@Sebastien: You might want to try using pop3 for this.  Also you might not need inbox for this.

You might google for the settings details

Hi Sebastien,

The Error message is indicating that you are trying to connect securely but the other party or the mail server is expecting plain. I think "imaps://" is trying ti impose SSL authentication. Not sure only "imap" will work or not (like imap.gmail.com:993/Inbox OR imap.googlemail.com:993). Is this "/inbox" required?

Can you try with normal SMTP (<smtp.gmail.com>, Port = 465. For SSL try 587)?

Please find another question with same description in PI:http://scn.sap.com/thread/1848129
