Step 1: Install the mako files

You are advised to check whether a folder named “mako” is present in your OpenERP Server/library.zip folder. Most probably it is not present so copy it from your OpenERP Web/python25/Lib/site-packages/mako-0.2.4-py2.5.egg folder and paste in library.zip folder mentioned before.

Step 2: Getting the poplib.py files

Please check whether a file named “poplib.py” is present in your OpenERP Server/library.zip folder. Most probably it is not present so copy it from your OpenERP Web/Python25/Lib folder and paste in library.zip folder.

Step 3: Check your email folder for relevant files

• Step 3a: Getting iterators.py
• • Check your email folder in library.zip folder. See if a file named iterartors.py is present. If not, copy it from OpenERP Web/Python25/Lib/email and paste in email folder of library.zip.

• Step 3b: Getting mime files
• • Now go further into the mime folder in email folder mentioned above. Check for the following files:
• • audio.py
• • base.py
• • image.py
• • message.py
• • multipart.py
• • nonmultipart.py
• • test.py
• • __init__.py
• • In fact you can copy the whole contents of the mime folder from OpenERP Web/python25/Lib/email/mime folder and paste it in OpenERP/Server/library.zip/email/mime folder.

Step 4: Getting base file

Check for base64.py file in library.zip folder (don't get confused with base64.pyc/pyo file). Copy it from OpenERP Web/python25/Lib folder and paste in library.zip folder.

Step 5: Getting imaplib.py file

Check for imaplib.py file in library.zip folder (don't get confused with imaplib.pyc/pyo file). Copy it from OpenERP Web/python25/Lib folder and paste in library.zip folder.

Step 6: Install Poweremail module (like any other module in Open ERP)

Note: The steps 1-4 solve the errors of missing base module (error -- No module named base) and the 5th one solves the problem of missing imaplib module (error -- No module named imaplib). Congratulations!! You have successfully installed the most powerful email module of Open ERP. Enjoy !
