Hi all, I've had a great deal of trouble accessing my Dovecot IMAP from most supposedly IMAP aware email clients, and have been advised that it might be because some of my email folders are not subscribed. Is there s way I can subscribe all my folders? I see no reason to have a folder not subscribed. Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt December 2019 featured book: Rapid Learning for the 21st

Hello, Yesterday I tried to back up a 40GB maildir . I tried to move the maildir from home to external HDD but failed. Decided then to compress it(which took several hours). Now changing the disk format from FAT to exFAT to allow the transfer for the large compressed file. How does one back up emails on a external drive? Some advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, When I use an email client, its purpose is as a window into my Dovecot IMAP, and as a mechanism to reply to and send emails. I don't do filtering or calendaring on my email client (filtering via procmail direct to Dovecot). What email clients are all of you using to look at your IMAP email?

Hi all, In re-doing the very first Hello World in the Agile Rails WEb Dev book, I continuously got blank pages, no matter what URL I put in, except when I put http://localhost:3000/ After eliminating everything else, I switched from Mozilla to Konqueror, and the symptom went away. I tried clearing cache on Mozilla, but that didn''t bring it back. I copied and pasted the URL from

Hi all, I have a little function called format_price(price) that simply formats the argument as a dollar sign, dollar amount, dot and penny amount. Then, in a .rhtml file, I could do this: <%= format_price(item.unit_price * item.quantity) %> But where do I put the format_price() function definition? The app couldn''t find it in app/controllers/application.rb. Where do I put it

Hi all, Like most other frameworks, Ruby groups code by Model/View/Controller instead of by task, and therefore I''m having a hard time debugging a problem from the Agile Rails book where looping through @items errors out because one or more items is nil. I managed to empty the cart by placing session[:cart] = nil in find_cart() in the store_controller_rb, and the problem continued

Hi all, I have a dovecot server on my Debian Wheezy desktop computer. My days with Debian are limited, and I'm investigating several 'BSD's: OpenBSD FreeBSD PCBSD NetBSD DragonflyBSD etc Is there any reason Dovecot wouldn't work on any of those? Does anyone know if those OS's have packages for Dovecot, or do I need to compile it myself? Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt

Is it still true that in order for a Linux hosted Samba server to have NT ACL support, the Linux box must have an ACL aware file system such as XFS or Andreas Gruenbacher's kernel patch ("POSIX ACL")? I read this in chapter 4 of "Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours". In the time since that book was written, has an easier method been developed, or has a
