Mail 1.6.3: Setting up mail through SMTP (using swiftmailer)

(1/5) > >>

Inspirer:
(instructions for Mibew 1.6.3)

1. Download SwiftMailer http://swiftmailer.org (latest version is 4.0.6)
2. Unpack it into /webim/libs/ folder.
3. Rename folder /webim/libs/Swift-4.0.6/ -> /webim/libs/Swift/
4. Edit common.php, find function webim_mail(), delete it or rename to webim_mail_old
5. Unpack attached file /webim/libs/mail.php
6. Edit files /webim/leavemessage.php & /webim/mail.php, add line at the end of requires block: require_once('libs/mail.php');
7. Edit file /webim/operator/restore.php, add line at the end of requires block: require_once('../libs/mail.php');

8. Setup mailboxes
8.1 Edit /webim/libs/mail.php (setup smtp server, login, passord, ssl usage)
8.2 Edit /webim/libs/config.php, edit $webim_mailbox <- mibew's mailbox (mails are sent from it)
8.3 Edit "Settings -> General -> Email" <- your's mailbox (for left messages)

MikeInMaine:
thank you thank you thank you Inspirer.  This worked great.  I like using Swift and not relying on unix sendmail.. Maybe this could be permanently integrated into mibew?

Thanks Again!

I could not Understand 8.1 and 8.2

except those parts, I done all others. Please be kind enough to elaborate that parts.
At this stage, when I send offline send, I get the error message as follows.
Warning: require_once(Swift/lib/swift_required.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/careerja/public_html/chat/libs/mail.php  on line 22

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Swift/lib/swift_required.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/careerja/public_html/chat/libs/mail.php on line 22

Also, when I click on forget pass, then also get some error..

Kindly help...
Thank You

You get this error because of you not installing Swiftmailer properly.  Although this is something i shouldn't be assisting you with, 8.1 Means to look in the /webim/libs/mail.php file and put your SMTP information in. The server, username and password, and whether or not it uses SSL security feature. 8.2 is to just edit $webim_mailbox="to your email".
You'd change the part i just quoted.
