Arch Linux User Repository

When using the davmail system service, the process would fail on reboot with the message:

Started DavMail for maastricht.
davmail[401]: 2020-12-27 09:41:01,147 ERROR [main] davmail  - Unable to bind server socket for SMTP on port 1025: port not allowed or in use by another process
davmail[401]: Unable to bind server socket for POP on port 1110: port not allowed or in use by another process
davmail[401]: Unable to bind server socket for IMAP on port 1143: port not allowed or in use by another process
davmail[401]: Unable to bind server socket for CALDAV on port 1080: port not allowed or in use by another process
davmail[401]: Unable to bind server socket for LDAP on port 1389: port not allowed or in use by another process

Davmail binds the ports properly when manually restart the service. I managed to resolve the issue by overriding davmail@.system_service with

[Unit]
After=network.target
Requires=network-online.target

The altered davmail@.system_service service file is now

[Unit]
Description=DavMail for %i
After=network.target
Requires=network-online.target

[Service]
User=davmail
ExecStart=/usr/bin/davmail /etc/davmail/%i.properties
Restart=on-failure
PrivateTmp=yes
ProtectSystem=full
ProtectHome=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
DefaultInstance=davmail

Along the same lines of @hamelg, I now use

#!/bin/sh
JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx512M -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ttl=60 -Djdk.gtk.version=2.2"
JFX_CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime/lib/javafx-base.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime/lib/javafx-controls.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime/lib/javafx-fxml.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime/lib/javafx-graphics.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime/lib/javafx-media.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime/lib/javafx-swing.jar:/usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime/lib/javafx-web.jar
DAVMAIL_HOME=/usr/share/java/davmail
#exec "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" -jar "$DAVMAIL_HOME/davmail.jar" "$@"
SWT_GTK3=0 exec java $JAVA_OPTS -cp $DAVMAIL_HOME/davmail.jar:${JFX_CLASSPATH}:$DAVMAIL_HOME/lib/* davmail.DavGateway "$@"

As my script. I just edited the davmail.sh with that.

I was having problems with javafx and SWT. The above fixed SWT for me. I also had to roll back to openjdk8 for javafx prompts to work. With jdk14, it refuses to use o365interactive, because ""Unable to load JavaFX (OpenJFX)""

The icon in system tray is ugly. At startup, davmail logs this message : INFO [main] davmail - SWT not available, using native system tray support

To enable SWT, I run davmail like that : SWT_GTK3=0 java -Xmx512M -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ttl=60 -Djdk.gtk.version=2.2 -cp /usr/share/java/davmail/davmail.jar:/usr/share/java/swt.jar:/usr/share/java/davmail/lib/* davmail.DavGateway

in your properties file: davmail.server=true

Is there an option to run this without a GUI window showing up on gnome? I'm using the systemd user service but still a window pops up and stays in my dash. The service stops if I close the window.

can you add 'aarch64' as arch.? It works on my machine (Pinebook Pro).

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD

Has anyone managed to get an icon showing in gnome top-icons using the systemd user service?

Would you mind adding 'armv7h' to the arch line? It builds cleanly and works smoothly on this architecture.

Can you add java-openjfx to optional dependencies? It is required for the browser-based o365interactive authentication method.

@TPXP It wasn't necessary for me to create additional user on the system.
Simply:
$ systemctl --user start davmail@username.service
$ systemctl --user enable davmail@username.service
as my usual user.
