3.0 beta Imap Does not fetch automatically.

[eugenes18t]

I have set up a Imap account for the system, IF i hit the fetch button it grabs the emails and creates tickets just fine. But for some reason it will not automatically fetch new emails until I click fetch now.

As a heads up, id did go through the cron job setup, i think i got it right as when I ran the ./Cron.sh there were no errors.

Figured the Crontab might be useful

What does your log say?

[DavidM]

Both imap and pop on secure connections do fetch mails automatically when using cron job $HOME/bin/otrs.PostMasterMailbox.pl

Try redirecting the output of this job to a logfile instead of /dev/null
Log files are good!

[eugenes18t]

What if I am using regular imap and pop3 not the s secure protocol?

[eugenes18t]

got it working had to make a simlink from /opt/otrs/bin to $Home/bin
