Scan to Gmail

[fausto1981]

I to setup the Ricoh using Gmail SMTP, but there is no option to enable SSL like the Konica, I don't know what else to try, Usually at times like this I would setup IIS in a Windows XP pro or 2Kpro and add the IP address on the relay and that solves the problem but this customer only has a P2P with a laptop and two other XP Home PCs.

I would really like to know if any of you out there have had the same problem that im having right now; and if possible please tell me how you got around it because i really need to get a solution for this.

Bluebottle.com also works. However, if you don't have someone send some e-mails to the account every month, they will cancel the account.

I've said it before, why are you spending so much time on scan to email? When you use an ISP the scan goes out to the internet and then back to the customer taking a long time, not to mention file size limits.
Just set up an SMB or FTP scan and tell them to attach that to their email. 2 minutes to set up and chances are you won't have to worry about it again, and if they want to scan that 200 page colour manual that ends up being 80MB they can.
I have never once set up scan to email using an ISP and not had hassles, if you don't have an exchange server or similar forget about it - or when it stops working I WILL leave them a $200 bill.

HERE IS THE PROBLEM:

I need the e-mail feature because the customer is using the machine for fax forwarding to e-mail. because he is not on the office all the time and he received a lot of faxes.

I told the guy that I could setup fax forwarding to folder with no problem, and after that he could VPN to his PC in the office but this is a very small company, (three people only) he has a laptop and that is what he uses for work. and takes it home at the end of the day.

He is going to switch ISP just to get this to work.

I appreciate all the help and ideas but I wrote this here because I ran out of ideas.

Alternative?

I have never come across that situation before and thought that sooner or later I will so there must be a solution.
I have an alternative for you. It's a little piece of software called gmailsync. When run it takes the contents of a folder and emails them (through gmail) to a particular address, it then moves the files to another folder so there is no double up next time. All the setup of the gmail account name and password, folder to watch etc is done through an XML config file (is very easy to follow). Using the windows scheduler you can set to run as often as the customer wants and they can access the faxes on the road.
I got it from here: GmailSync - Free automated backup solution using Gmail - Nauman Leghari's Blog
I got set up and working in about twenty minutes with a couple of small problems. I'm no expert but will help with setup if needed.
Cheers.

Man, Finally a solution that sounds very good. My customer is switching ISPs but i was worried that someone else would have the same problem.

Thanks you very much for your help. I have something similar to that but it is just a simple batch file that moves the files from one folder to a different folder on the network. ((Had to do that becuase customer had Scan Router v2 Lite and he wanted to scan to a novell server so I installed that on his 2000 server and now everything gets moved to a different folder using the batch file running every 5 minutes))



Thanks again i will give that a try right away.

[toddanderson]

Thank you

Sure man,

open the command prompt, type edit

then just paste this the following
@echo off
cd \
cd c:\Folder_on_Local_PC
move *.* \\server_or_IP\shared_folder\Folder

then save the file with the .bat for example move.bat

and then just schedule a task
((In some cases you might have to add the user name and password but I am assuming that the person moving this files had the writes to write on the "Folder"

By the way, taht GmailSynch works great. Now I have an answer for the next customer that has the same problem. he is already in the process of switching ISPs

Thanks again!!!
