  • Step by Step for Importing Email - cron, crontab, cron.php - total novice

    Hello all!

    I apologize that I am going to write this. I have been trying to resolve this issue for almost 2 full days, and I feel like a monkey in front of a typewriter.

    Here is the database setup that a standard set up gave me:
    • ESPOCRM VERSION: 5.3.6 Rev.0
    • Server: Localhost via UNIX socket
    • Server type: MySQL
    • Server connection: SSL is not being used Documentation
    • Server version: 5.7.23 - MySQL Community Server (GPL)
    The webserver setup is: Apache
    • PHP version: 7.0.31
    My computer: Mac OSX 10.13.6
    Any other programs used: No (I have no idea what PuTTy is, or any other program that has been recommended to other users with a similar issue).

    That being said, this is my request:

    1) I would like to be able to import emails and receive emails to EspoCRM.

    Here is the steps I took:
    > Basic Install bitnami/EspoCRM
    > Custom email set up (not gmail) - our webhost is godaddy
    > Run application
    > Set up admin with admin email address - I am the only user, so the admin email and the Personal email will be the same
    > Set up Personal Email; test email connection is good; send test email is also good.

    Results:
    > Can send an email from EspoCRM and have it received by outside email server (gmail, etc) - SUCCESS!
    > When that email is replied to by outside server, email goes to webhost (godaddy, and then forwards to AppleMail), but does NOT go to EspoCRM - BUMMER!

    What I have tried to resolve the issue:

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

    After trying to resolve this for hours without any luck, I hope someone can help me so that no one else has to fumble through this themselves.

    Please know that I am a complete novice, and do not have a grasp of even mid-level database management. You will have to tell me precisely how and where to access files. I appreciate your help!

    THANKS!!
