[Samba] Outlook Express Mailstore on Samba share
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, last Thursday I upgraded a samba installation from 2.2.12 to 3.0.14a. Everything went fine with the debian packages. But... All roaming profiles are registry hacked to place the OE mailstore onto the home drive and this worked fine for the last two years. Now after the upgrade all of my users complain about corrupt dbx files. Can anyone tell me what might be the problem in this configuration (without pointing out that OE is faulty, etc.). I suspect a change in the locking as turning on fake oplocks lessens the problem a bit (yes I know that this sounds strange!).

Can anyoneDoes only OE complain about corrupt files? Did you try to read the files by using a tool like Mailnavigator (http://www.mailnavigator.com/read_outlook_express_dbx_files.html)? Just to check if the files are readable or not.
