[mail] How to add more users #437

Closed SebastGG closed 4 years ago

SebastGG commented 4 years ago

I have a question how to add more users/email adresses to the mail server. I've added all my users with the users app. At the nextcloud side the users are available/accessable but at the mailserver not.

What kind of error do you see if you try to login to mail web? Can you send logs to support from settings - support page?

SebastGG commented 4 years ago

for me the question is, the user credentials schould be for all apps the same? If this is correct, then something is wrong. Error - the login failed logs are on the way

cyberb commented 4 years ago

Yes all apps get the same user credentials. No logs yet, do not forget to include support checkbox.

SebastGG commented 4 years ago

logs are sent

Did you enter lowercase username and UID to be the same?

SebastGG commented 4 years ago

What i did is, to fill the fields in the users app and created new users. The name and first name are different to the UID which is a syntesis of all given names!

What i see when i compare all users: The admin user created during the activation/installation of the users app has not filled all fields in the users app. The UID is the same as the Name and the first name field is empty.

So do i have to modify, after creating an new user, this to the same look as the admin user?

cyberb commented 4 years ago

Sorry for the confusion, you need to use "Display Name" as your username. It will be renamed to User Name soon

SebastGG commented 4 years ago

grafik So if i add the user "Test". What are the credentials for the apps?

Username: Test Test Passw: ****

Login fails

SebastGG commented 4 years ago

The Nextcloud App uses the UID as the Username

cyberb commented 4 years ago

In Users app you should set:

Display Name: test

In Mail you should use:

User: test
SebastGG commented 4 years ago

allright. After modifying the display name, as descibed, i can login to all users. Thanks

cyberb commented 4 years ago

I must say it is a mess, we should not use Display Name as user name. I should fix Mail to use UID and rename UID to Username. For now if you keep Display Name (Username) same as UID you should be safe when this is fixed.

cyberb commented 4 years ago

For now I have made a change to Users app to show User name and copy its value to UID.
