Hello, I use Thunderbird as IMAP client and do a lot of server-side filtering with Sieve scripts. To be notified of new mails, I want to check all folders (a lot of them...) at once for new mails, and not only the inbox. According to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Checking_for_new_messages_in_other_folders_-_Thunderbird it should be sufficient to enable one setting -- given that the IMAP server

Hello, I run a Windows domain based on Samba 3 and I am searching for a way to distribute/deploy software to clients. I.e., a user logging on to a client, software should be automatically installed or upgraded. Is there any common solution? I heard of MSI packages, but I don't know if it is necessary to create MSI packages of all installations... Thanks Florian

Hello, I am looking for a command-line utility to automatically purge one Maildir folder. I want to periodically run sa-learn from cron, and after the spam learning folder has been added to the Bayes database, its contents should be deleted. I've searched a bit, but only found a few old utilities or some telnet+expect scripts, which both didn't look too reliable. Is there any

Hello there, where are the Windows file permissions (i.e. ACL) stored when using Samba? How can I change them from within Linux? Or is it only possible with the Windows file permissions dialogue? Thanks Florian

Hello there, I am playing around with Asterisk the first time and it really looks great. ;-) However, I have one problem: Any SIP device can connect to my PBX. How can I requre logon for SIP users and deny access in the case of wrong or missing credentials? Thanks Florian

Hello there, I'm trying to set up Samba as a PDC for Windows XP Professional (SP2). It seems to work fine. Machine accounts are created automatically, passwords between Unix and Samba users get synced, I can logon, profile directories are created - but there's a problem. I know that this is well-known, but it drives me crazy and I don't know any solution. First of all, the

Hello, in addition to our mail system, we have some other systems which needs to know how many messages, and how many unread messages, a user has in his/her inbox (maildir). Currently, we have a mod_perl script which takes a mail address as input, and then traverses the maildir, and outputs the number of unread messages. Our challenge is that the maildirs are located on a SAN, and traversing a

Hello, is it possible to define the sender for the Dovecot Sieve implementation's vacation extension? It seems to be impossible to add, e.g., a name, or choose a different sender address. Thanks, Florian

Hello, I've searched the Howtos, but I did not find anything, so I'm asking this question onlist. When are connections between Samba and the client encrypted? I run Samba 3.0.20a on a network with Windows XP SP2 and some Windows 98 machines. - Are connections always encrypted? Are there any smb.conf settings I have to make in order to get encryption working (server signing?)? - Are

Hello Timo, With dovecot 2.1.rc1 (056934abd2ef) there seems to be something wrong with virtual plugin mailbox search patterns. I'm using a virtual mailbox 'unread' with the following dovecot-virtual file $ cat dovecot-virtual * unseen For testing propose I created the following folders with each containing one unread message INBOX, INBOX/level1 and INBOX/level1/level2

Hello, I have found out that a domain administrator is always mapped to root in the UNIX filesystem: drwx------ 2 jive smbguests 1024 2004-12-23 18:59 jive drwx------ 13 salsa smbusers 1024 2004-12-23 18:58 salsa drwx------ 13 root smbadmins 1024 2004-12-23 18:56 tango jive is a domain guest user, salsa a domain user and tango a domain administrator. Is it possible to change the root

Got sort of a strange problem on one email account. Everything works fine with Thunderbird/IMAP showing the correct unread message count. But on my DroidX smartphone one of my email accounts always shows one unread message, but I can't bring any unread messages up. It's like there's something there making it think there's a message when there isn't. The email client is K-9

I'm running dovecot 2.3.4.1 from https://repo.dovecot.org/ on Ubuntu 18.04 on three machines that I'll call server, laptop1 and laptop2. Both laptop1 and laptop2 run dovecot sync against server to keep local copies of my imap folders. Even when I initially had only two machines, laptop1 and server, I occasionally noticed that flags were lost, usually custom flags used by Gnus, but I

Hello, I have on Ubuntu 8.04 Postfix 2.5.1 and Dovecot 1.0.10. The mails are saved in maildir format. In one account on my server all mails are unread all the time. If i set them as read in my client (IMAP with Mac Mail 4.4 or IMAP with Squirrelmail, it doesn?t matter) they seem to be checked as read for some minutes or less, but very soon they are unread again, so i guess, only my client thinks

Box with fresh RELENG_7 panic under heavy network load (more than 50k connections). This panics seems to be senfile(2) related, because when sendfile disabled in nginx, I can't reproduce the problem. Backtrace in all cases like this: # kgdb kernel /spool/crash/vmcore.1 GNU gdb 6.1.1 [FreeBSD] Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General

Hello fellow list members, does anyone knows of a good HOWTO (or a book) for setting up Samba as a PDC? I have been dealing around with the Samba HOWTO collection, but to be honest, this is a hard job. There are some errors in it and descriptions are not this good. I even don't know what all the tools are for. I'm really experienced in Linux server stuff, but this one drives me mad.

Hi all, When I send a message to trash, without previously reading it (just with the subject is enough to say I do not want to read it), it remains as "unread". Then, clients (I am using Kmail) report there are unread message, when all of them are in Trash. The question, then is: Is there any way to automatically mark a message as read, when that message is moved to Trash? Thank you!

Last week my trusty Fedora 9 file and print server failed on me. Not bad for 12 years trusty service. I have now replaced it with a C7 server and found that lots have changed in those 12 years. Thankfully many things haven't, named-chroot, dhcpd, etc pretty much copied across and Samba wasn't a major rewrite. However I feel like my right arm has been chopped off.? My work life

Timo, This might be a bit vague, but I have noticed that rc19 seems to have broken the read/unread/reply flags in imap. My officemate has had problems with messages that are read and marked as read then mysteriously get remarked as unread the next time email is checked. I've had problems where I reply to a message and it does not get marked as "answered". We didn't see this

Upgraded from Debian Dovecot 1.0.15 to Debian Dovecot 1.2.10-1~bpo50+1. I use Postfix local delivery to and Dovecot mbox. As per upgrade directions, I stopped dovecot processes and deleted all dovecot.index.cache files in /home/%user/mail/.imap. Performed upgrade to 1.2.10-1~bpo50+1. Modified new dovecot.conf for my environment. Started dovecot. Problem: Instantly noticed in TB 3.0.1 Win32
