Is anyone else crazy enough to be doing something like this? Any ideas?ĭitch Outlook, for the most part, and use Thunderbird + DavMail (Exchange gateway) + Lightning (Calendar). I've looked all over the options menu and have not found a way to tell Outlook to not use a certain account for sending mail, which would solve (3). I'd like to come up with a solution for (2) and (3) though.įor problem (2) would it be possible to somehow tell Outlook that the IMAP server is "offline", and have it synchronize my changes during a periodic "send and receive"? If so, I wonder if it would block the Outlook client, like it does in problem (1), and if it would be compatible with the client-only rules I use to sort my mail into folders. pst), my options seem limited for solving (1). Short of moving the IMAP server to my local host (which seem like might have the same file locking problems as using a. but the main advantage of being very easy to back up, with a couple of cron jobs that essentially do an 'rsync'. If I reply to a message from my IMAP store, I have to specify a SMTP server willing to relay for me in order to send e-mail, unless I always remember to select my Exchange account while composing e-mail.Can't use exchange over HTTP to do mail without launching a VPN session, because the client-side rules I have which organize my mail fail and disable the rule if the IMAP server can't be reached.Furthermore, if I move a large number of messages to the IMAP server, it blocks the entire Outlook client for hours sometimes, which is quite annoying. IMAP (at least the implementation in Outlook) is *very slow*.pst files (since I'm always in my e-mail there is never a good time to back it up), so I started storing my archived mail "in the cloud", using an IMAP server I set up on my Linux box. Like many companies, they unfortunately also provide a ridiculously small mail quota.

Enter your username and password normally. Under SMTP server, enter your own IP address (you got it in Step 9) and set the port to 587.

Next to "Send mail as:", click on "Add another email address you own.".Navigate to Settings -> Accounts and Import. Without it, every time your IP address changes you will be unable to get your email until you reset gmail's SMTP and POP settings to match the new address. Some kind of dynamic DNS (such as etc) is an excellent idea here as well.If it is blocked, you may be behind a firewall and will have to forward your ports. To verify everything is working, go to and make sure your local POP port in the DavMail server is visible."POP mark read" instructs the gmail client to mark emails as read on the Exchange server when they are downloaded and read in gmail. You might want to uncheck "POP mark read" under the Advanced tab.Fill in your Exchange server's OWA address in the Main tab, and the password (you picked it in step 3) for the Key store password.
