Read emails from pop account - outlook

I am trying to read my Gmail messages from a client or device that supports POP, like Microsoft Outlook, so I tried to do that, and I used standard configuration instructions, but when I tried to test Account Settings it shows me an error that test message can not be sent.

Did you specify the right settings? https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960#ts=1665119
This is not a programming question.

if IMAP CONDSTORE is not supported for Outlook/yahoo server, what is the alternative to get the flag changes from last check

I use highestModseq for gmail which will provide me the flag updates on emails. Additionally, am using emailjs-imap-client package. If anyone could help with the equivalent of highestModseq in outlook server?
If you are using IMAP, there isn't one. The equivalent is to ask for all the flags for all the messages since last time you synced.
For outlook, there's alternative protocols that may support smart access: EAS, EWS, or Outlook Mail API. For Yahoo, you have to use the additional bandwidth and compute changes client side.

Injecting emails into Kafka or any other message queue

So my requirement is :
I have alert emails coming into my email address ( outlook ); I want to move those ( forward ) email to a linux machine so that I can use them to push into a DB.
--> Is there a way to get emails from my outlook box to a folder in Linux machine ( I have looked into apache james but i feel its a overhead )
Any help would be much appreciated
Was following this :

Thanks.
If your Outlook account supports IMAP (which it may!!) then just use a gem like https://github.com/seattlerb/imap_processor to process and send these messages off. (As far as sending to Kafka, last time I looked https://github.com/zendesk/ruby-kafka looked awesome).
The imap processor gem has some standalone apps you can use, to check to see if your servers are compatible.
If you are in a corporate environment and running Outlook < 2013?? then IMAP might not work. I’d try and set up a filter rule server side that formwarded certain messages to a Gmail account. ?? Or try to set this up client side?

Exchange ActiveSync - get unseen emails count

I am writing Exchange ActiveSync client in C++. I use FolderSync command for synchronize list of folders and Sync command for synchronize emails from server.
In IMAP protocol I use command STATUS INBOX (UNSEEN) for getting unseen emails in inbox folder.
Is in Exchange ActiveSync some equivalent command ?
According to the Microsoft documentation only the following is part from ActiveSync:
Support for HTML messages
Support for follow-up flags
Conversation grouping of email messages
Ability to synchronize or not synchronize an entire conversation
Synchronization of Short Message Service (SMS) messages with a user's Exchange mailbox
Support for viewing message reply status
Support for fast message retrieval
Meeting attendee information
Enhanced Exchange Search
PIN reset
Enhanced device security through password policies
Autodiscover for over-the-air provisioning
Support for setting automatic replies when users are away, on vacation, or out of the office
Support for task synchronization
Direct Push
Support for availability information for contacts
But you might wish to implement something via EWS (see here some example).

WiFi Text Services

I'm trying to come up with a solution to this situation:
Imagine you are in an area and you do not have any cell phone service but you do have Wifi.
The ask is to have a user that only has data to be able to text a number (via iMessage) and get a confirmation code in return.
The first tool I thought would be necessary for this would be Twilio - but it seems like Twilio only sends over standard SMS.
Are there any other tools out there anyone have used that would work in this idea? Something similar to Twilio but only ran on data?
Twilio developer evangelist here.
This is something you can only do as the phone provider or network provider (using Three in the UK allows me to make phone calls over wifi with no phone signal, for example).
The two things you can do is either build yourself a native application that you can send messages to using push notifications or send messages to existing native apps, like Messenger, Viber or Line.

Exchange 2010 is sending emails from accounts that do not exist?

All of a sudden, our exchange server has started sending out emails to .com.br addresses from accounts that do not exist in our organization. For example:
sadfjkh32#myorganization.com
sasdfsdkh4352#myorganization.com
sadhdf#myorganization.com
Please help.
You should review your recieve connector configuration to make sure you are not allowing someone to relay mail over your server.
Aditionally use the message tracking in esm and look for those emails.
Try to find the source IP address of those emails, meaning where they are generated.
Are they generating from an application server on your network. Maybe a scanner device, a pc...
As soon as you find the ip address you will have a better idea what is going on
