[Vtigercrm-developers] Mailconverter fails valid usernames [vt 6.2]

[Hamono, Chris (DPC)]

Try the username vtiger.testing7<mailto:vtiger.testing7 at gmail.com>

Most email accounts don’t use the email address as the username. Only shared accounts like gmail, yahoo and other virtual mail accounts do

The test I outlined below is an invalid test.

This is how it works


1.      If the username equates to false the test passes

2.      If the username looks like an email address the test passes

3.      If the username matches this regex /^[\w _\-]+$/ the test passes


1)      The first test should actually fail. I don’t know of any imap account you can log into without a valid username.

2)      The second test is fine and how your username passed (be aware email addresses are very very hard to validate)

3)      In your case the third test was never reached, it would have failed if it did.

Test the regex here

try removing the dot from the user name in the above regex test

Following mail converter... the conditions should be applied to every field not only to Subject and body, so it will be easier filtering records creation

When setting up a mailconverter I kept getting errors “could not connect. Special Characters not allowed”

It appears vtiger incorrectly rejects any username that is not pure alpha numeric.

The file " modules\Settings\MailConverter\models\Record.php"

Has this bit of code @ line 210
           $userName = $this->get('username');
           if($userName && !validateEmailId($userName) && !validateAlphanumericInput($userName)) {
                return false;
           }

This test fails if the username contains non numeric characters such as a full stop (which is a common format for user names e.g. “firstname.lastname”)

Oddly it doesn’t fail if the username is not supplied or equates to false.

Commenting out this code allows the mail box to be correctly configured.
