Hi everyone,

Our Incoming Emails are NOT being fetched automatically. We are able to fetch the emails manually by clicking on the "Fetch Now" button however. All our "Incoming Mail Servers" profiles show the same old date. Newly created "incoming Mail Server" have the same problem.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

have you checked the automated actions? The fetchmail action should be activated

sridhar

Activate the schedulers it should be work.

Did that. No effect. Again, the Fetchmail action stops working everytime I run the upgrade of OpenERP.

Cameron

Question - is it just your email thats not scheduling? - None of my schedulers are working! http://help.openerp.com/question/21748/scheduler-not-working/

Cameron

Theres a lot of talk about having your server running in UTC time for the scheduler - didnt make any difference to me though!

For automate fetching for e-mail:

Follow the procedures to autofetch Settings --> Technical --> Scheduler --> Scheduled Actions --> Select Fetchmail Service in the list. --> Edit --> Change the interval number and unit according to your need --> Save

Configuring for auto-fetch done.

I'm searching for this automated actions everywhere in 8.0dev-20140416-230101 I can see under apps that a plugin " Automated Action Rule " is installed, but I can't see any hint to neither "schudule", "automation" nor fetchmail in my "Settings" so where can I search to get the settings of the automated tasks in Odoo v8? all the best for you guys!

Malte Helmhold

sorry I can't delete my "answer" because I haven't enough karma:( now It's kinda duplication here. But I hope someone sees my cry for help;)

Malte Helmhold

Ok, I found out that you have to check for the admin or the user you want to enable the feature in order to see this settings: User Permissions -> Technical features without this enable the user can't see the settings needed for properly configure openERP. That's something an OpenERP beginner has to do hard work to find out! alas but anyway, it does not change the problem that mails are not fetched although fetchmail is set to 5 minutes in scheduled actions:(

Surendar

yes Atchuthan I tried the same. but it is not fetching for my user. is there any rights we have to give for the user to make it work?

If you can't find auto created issues, check here: with admin account open project>issues>analysis.

Check value for max_cron_threads config. It should be non-zero.

"the last fetch date" is showing only the last SUCCESFULL time and date the system was able to fetch e-mail.

With other words, it might try to fetch just every few minutes, but has maybe a problem to succesfully end the the fetch process. 

Just check your logfile/console to see if you see that the fetchmail is executed. If it executes, but gives an error, you proberly have to remove the first e-mail in your e-mail box. (I had one with some strange spam garbage in it, wich causes fetchmail to abort, had something to do with wrong UTF-8 encoding). If you are paying attention to the console, and try to force the fetch you can actually see what happens.

After removing the e-mail which was causing this, all went well.

Thanks for the responses guys, unfortunately, the automatic Fetchmail functionality is already setup and running, but no trigger is actually registered.

The automatic incoming messages used to work perfectly fine before. I'm not sure when it stopped working whether being after an update or we switched our Amazon servers location (we transferred an image of our OpenERP server to another Amazon server location)...Not sure if that would break anything however.

What puzzles me in that OpenERP is not showing any attempt to fetch emails automatically. At least that's what the "Last Fetch Date" shows.

Any other thoughts?

You can try to upgrade "Email Gateway" as it provides auto-fetch features

Here are the commands I use to update OpenERP to the latest version. Then following a reboot of the server, that's when the Fetchmail action stops working. The working version of OpenERP is 7.0-20130319-002358. Even the latest version 7.0-20130606-231042 does not work. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
