Hi Samir,

Moodle sends email over SMTP (port 587), not IMAP (port 993) so you can't just copy the settings from your smartphone.

For the proper settings, see
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/pop-and-imap-email-settings-for-outlook-8361e398-8af4-4e97-b147-6c6c4ac95353

Some additional tips (predicting your challenges):
- Sometimes you may need to also specify the port on host address.
Example: outlook.office365.com:587
- Be sure that your no-reply email address is one that actually exists.
- Use TLS.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Michael

Rrinivas a - You either need need to set-up the SMTP settings in Moodle or in your server. For more help, please use the Discussion link on the plugin page and post any further questions you might have in the discussion forum.

when use with sendgrid, there is a need to do domain authentication in sendgrid and create a verified email account - otherwise eMailTest will fail

Hi ct tang,

Thanks for sharing this useful tip with the Moodle community. Hope it will help others who use SendGrid.

I am trying to setup Moodle so as when a student replies via email in a forum or quiz that Reply to is the students profile email address within Moodle.

Currently it is using the no-reply address.

I have setup allowed domains for those email domains our students use and all our students have allow participants of course to see email set.

However when they send an email as mentioned the reply to address is the no-reply one.

When I use the Site administration -> Server -> Email -> eMail Test (This plugin)

The reply to address is the one in the user profile of the sender, the result I want.

However, when I use the Site administration -> Server -> Email -> Outgoing mail configuration
Test outgoing mail configuration

The reply to address is the noreply address, NOT the result I want.
(And this is what happens when a student sends an email from a Forum or Quiz.)

Have you got any insights that may help.

eMailTest 3.0 has arrived! This latest release includes a new diagnostic feature that tries to identify the cause of connectivity and authentication issues and offer some solutions. This release is also compatible with Moodle 4.3.

Hope you find it useful.

Best wishes to you all!

I can't install this, it says: tool_installaddon/installing_non_installable_component

There is a request to install plugin Moodle eMail Test (local_mailtest) version 2023102000 from the Moodle plugins directory on this site. However, the plugin installation pre-check failed (reason code: remoteunavailable).

Hello I, I am looking into the issue. First time I experienced this too.

Hello I,

I suspect this might be an issue with the moodle.org/plugins site. This seems to only affect you if you try to install the plugin directly using the Install button on moodle.org/plugins.

What does work? Download the plugin first and then upload (or drag and drop) it to the Install Plugins page, it installs just fine. Hopefully the Moodle HQ devs will be able to address the issue later today.

Best regards,

Michael

The issue has been resolved. You should be able to install the plugin from within Moodle now. Big thanks to the Moodle HQ team for quickly fixing the issue!
