Chapter 41Support for Apple MailSince version 6.1.2, Kerio MailServer supports some groupware features of IMAP and Entourageaccounts in Apple Mail 10.4 and higher. The support enables to display events, contacts andtask folders in the email client.Cooperation of Kerio MailServer with Apple Mail is supported directly. This implies that it isnot necessary to install any extensions to client stations. However, it is necessary to enablethe support in the Kerio MailServer’s configuration file:1. Stop Kerio MailServer — before any manual edits in configuration files, it is necessary tostop Kerio MailServer Engine first.2. In the directory where Kerio MailServer is installed, look up the mailserver.cfg file andopen it.If the file is being edited on Mac OS X or Linux operating systems, login to the system asthe root user (a special user with full access rights to the system).3. Search the line including the IMAPFullListing value and rewrite the 0 digit with the 1value.4. Save the change and start Kerio MailServer.Setting of the full support for IMAP in Kerio MailServer results in the situation where all usersusing IMAP to access their email share all types of folders and subfolders (email messages,calendars. contacts, tasks) in their email clients. However, these folders will be showed asemail folders where any event, contact and task will be displayed as an email message withan attachment in the .vcf (contact) or .ics (event, task) format. For this reason, it is recommendedto consider carefully whether the full support for IMAP in Kerio MailServer is reallyefficient.For proper functionality of Apple Mail accounts, the following services must be running inKerio MailServer:• HTTP(S) — applied to Exchange accounts, if used.• IMAP(S) — used both by IMAP and Exchange accounts.• SMTP(S) — the protocol is used for email sending.Warning: In addition to configuration of the services on the server, it is also necessary tomap corresponding ports on the firewall protecting the server.
