Hello Rakesh Kumar,
Thanks for using and showing an interest in Open Source Helpdesk.
Behind this cause there might two below issues:
First – Make sure you’ve enabled less secure apps.
Second – Cross check Site-URL in uvdesk.yaml file under config->>packages in route directory.
Still, you have further issue feel free to reach out us at support@uvdesk.com
Thanks & Regards

Solution:

Attempted to call function “imap_open” from namespace “Webkul\UVDesk\MailboxBundle\Console”.

We found a solution:

I cant explain how this fixes the problem but it did seem to.

despite PHP reporting that imap extension is installed and me confirming it works by running a test script in the browser it wasnt working on the command line. So,basically reinstalled imap and dependancy php-curl (See below the steps for Linux but i would imagine the same principle should work for Windows. The odd thing is those extensions were installed – so maybe it was an update that was required. my guess is the browser may be running php 7.3 (IMAP works for the browser) but the command line is using php 7.4 which didnt have imap and curl extensions installed. I ended up with two versions of php quite by accident – i dont know how 7.4 got on my server

sudo apt install php-imap
463 sudo phpenmod imap
464 sudo apt update
465 sudo apt
467 sudo apt upgrade -y
468 sudo reboot
469 sudo apt update
470 sudo apt upgrade
471 sudo apt autoremove
472 sudo reboot
477 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
478 sudo apt-get update
479 sudo apt-get install php-curl

I have setup the email according to these steps and i am still not getting any ticket created in the system even though it is saying mailbox refreshed successfully.

I am trying to setup with an on-premise exchange installation. Earlier, I was not able to get the mailbox to refresh and we had to update the username in uvdesk_mailbox to omit the domain, i.e. set the username to helpdesk instead of helpdesk@mail.test.com. After making this change, the mailbox is showing as refreshed but no tickets are created

I have checked the logs and I see that the calls to ….mailbox/listener is returning a 200 code for each email.

Your assistance is appreciated

We’re using GMAIL, we setup the mailbox, the cron returns the following, but there are NO tickets created (yes, we cleared cache and yes, we turned on “allow access to less secure apps” in GMAIL):

1. Processing uvdesk mailbox configuration.

2. Opening imap stream…

3. IMAP stream opened.

4. Fetching Email collection since 22 July 2020.

5. Total fetched email -> 5

6. Starting to convert Emails into Tickets ->
=============================================
=============================================

Converting email 1 out of 5.

Converting email 2 out of 5.

Converting email 3 out of 5.

Converting email 4 out of 5.

Converting email 5 out of 5.

Mailbox refreshed successfully !!!

Hello,
Nice day to you!!
Did you check the Site_URL under config->packages->uvdesk.yaml file? Kindly cross check first and make it for your domain.
If still, it will not work then raise a ticket by using our ticketing panel – here.

Is there a restriction on using a gmail account with a ‘.’ in the username ( site.helpdesk@gmail.com )? I can’t seem to get it to work and tried putting quotes in the 3 yaml’s.

Hello Brandon,

No there is no restrictions with ‘.’ username in swiftmailer, mailbox, and email settings option. Let us know, if it still exists? Please share your error screenshots.

Hello Manish Joshi,

We are suggest to you, If you are using your project in prod mode then after these settings swiftmailer, mailbox, and email settings. You will be cleared cache of project using the below command:

php bin/console c:c

After that page refresh and check again your email settings option here settings saved successfully.

If you are still facing same error then reply on the official forums of uvdesk from here:

Hi, I have Google Workspace for my Organization. Instead of using normal Gmail account I would like to use my domain email address (helpdesk@mydomain.in) to enable email notifications. I tried the steps listed here but that didn’t work. Please help. As I want to implement UVDesk in my organization. I am running a docker-installed UVDesk.
