I have been researching a few things on sugarcrm trying to get the inbound emails. I am posting my fixes for the environment i am in to help anyone who reads this blog.

I am hosted on media temple in a dedicated virtual account. I was having the automatic email check in the cron set to the original suggestion below. and found it wasn’t checking the for emails.

* * * * * cd /var/www/vhosts/mywebsitename.com/httpdocs/foldername; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

after a bit of research i tried the following cron job line and it fixed the issue

*****    wget -O /dev/null http://www.mywebsitename.com/foldername/cron.php

hope this helps someone
