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.

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

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

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

This shouldn’t be set for using Gmail…

It is extremely unprofessional to use gmail for SMTP/IMAP delivery and besides that, most companies have their own SMTP/IMAP servers or providers…

Also, this information doesn’t work and if you copy and paste your YAML configs, it errors that it is in an incorrect format!

Hello SudoBash,
Nice day to you!!
Kindly download the latest version of community helpdesk from here -https://github.com/uvdesk/community-skeleton/
You can configured email settings by using the GUI. In the latest update there is no need to set up a backend configuration for the mailbox.
The only thing which you need to update i.e Site_Url in Uvdesk.Yaml instead of default URL.
Thank You!!

  I got that working and enabled SMTP through my provider.
  I can send a test email with:
  ./console swiftmailer:email:send –from [email protected] –to [email protected] –subject Test –body Test –mailer mailer_#
  
  I receive the Test email in my inbox almost immediately, but when I create a user agent or click forgot password, I get NO email…

Hi,

I’m trying to setup a test environment and I cannot get new emails to trigger a ticket and sent notifications to customer and agents when I run manuall uvdesk: refresh-mailbox. For tickets created manually with New Ticket the replies are going fine.
I’ve setup all swiftmailer.yaml, uvdesk.yaml, uvdesk-mailbox.yaml correctly, I think and cron job to fetch every 30 minutes.

php /home/ovidiu/public_html/mmesupport/bin/console uvdesk:refresh-mailbox [email protected]

1. Processing uvdesk mailbox configuration.

2. Opening imap stream…

3. IMAP stream opened.

4. Fetching Email collection since 30 September 2020.

5. Total fetched email -> 8

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

Converting email 1 out of 8.

Converting email 2 out of 8.

Converting email 3 out of 8.

Converting email 4 out of 8.

Converting email 5 out of 8.

Converting email 6 out of 8.

Converting email 7 out of 8.

Converting email 8 out of 8.

Mailbox refreshed successfully !!!
