#How to configure Microsoft Outlook to use OpenLDAP as global LDAP address book
|
||||
iRedMail provides POP3, POP3S (pop3 over TLS), IMAP, IMAPS (imap over TLS), SMTP, SMTPS (smtp over TLS) for receiving and sending emails by default.
|
||||
|
||||
##Create new mail account
|
||||
Menu: File -> New -> Mail Account.
|
||||
|
||||
Add your name, email address and password in this screen.
|
||||
|
||||
[[File:Thunderbird.new.mail.account.png]]
|
||||
|
||||
Click continue, it will detect IMAP and SMTP server automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
Note:
|
||||
* You should click "Edit" to input full email address as username.
|
||||
* If you want to use POP3 instead of IMAP, click "Edit" and change it to POP3 in this screen with port 110, STARTTLS.

##Use OpenLDAP as Global LDAP Address Book
|
||||
|
||||
__IMPORTANT NOTE__: Thunderbird won't show you contacts in LDAP address book directly, but it works when you starting typing email address in recipient field while composing email.
|
||||
|
||||
Here we take Thunderbird 5.0 for example. Steps:
|
||||
|
||||
* Click __Address Book__ in main window.
|
||||
* In Address Book window, click __File -> New -> LDAP Directory__.
|
||||
* In tab __General__:
|
||||
** __Name__: use whatever name you like. e.g. Mail Server Address Book.
|
||||
** __Hostname__: IP address or hostname of your iRedMail server.
|
||||
** __Base DN__: Base dn of your domain in LDAP directory. Normally, it's __domainName=domain.ltd,o=domains,dc=xxx,dc=xxx__. For example, __domainName=example.com,o=domains,dc=iredmail,dc=org__.
|
||||
** __Port Number__: 389. Note: If you prefer to connect to OpenLDAP server over SSL, please check the __Use secure connection (SSL)__ in same tab.
|
||||
** __Bind DN__: It's dn of your mail account. Normally, it's __mail=user@domain.ltd,ou=Users,domainName=domain.ltd,o=domains,dc=xxx,dc=xxx__. For example: __mail=john@example.com,ou=Users,domainName=example.com,o=domains,dc=iredmail,dc=org__.
|
||||
* In tab __Advanced__:
|
||||
** __Don't return more than xxx results__: it depends on how many accounts stored in same domain. You can set it to 100, or 1000. 100 is default value in Thunderbird.
|
||||
** __Scope__: Subtree.
|
||||
** __Search filter__: (&(enabledService=mail)(enabledService=deliver)(enabledService=displayedInGlobalAddressBook)(|(objectClass=mailList)(objectClass=mailAlias)(objectClass=mailUser)))
|
||||
** __Login method__: Simple.
|
||||
|
||||
* Now switch to tab __Offline__, click button __Download Now__ to test your settings. It will prompt to input password for this LDAP server, just type password of your mail account. With correct __Bind DN__ and password, it will display __Replicated succeeded__.
|
||||
|
||||
That's all.
