backing up email / saving maildir on external hard drives
Dear Steve,
Very valuable info. Appreciate it and will be careful when using terms.
Actually I think I should just use rsync without compressing. The reason
why I started compressing was because the GUI gave some errors when I was
trying to copy then files.
I'll just rsync the data from my laptop HDD to my external drive(without
compressing)
Thanks
Kevin

If you tried to *move* it it's an archive, not a backup. If you tried
to *copy* it, with the intent of keeping the original on the original
hard disk and using it

backing up email / saving maildir on external hard drives
Hi,
talking of rsync and compression is may be also a bit misleading.
On the destination there will be no compressed files if you transfer
with rsync! The transfere on the network by rsync might be compressed!

How do I set all my mailboxes to "subscribed"
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

backing up email / saving maildir on external hard drives
Dear Christian,
Thanks for your feedback.
The HDD will not accept larger than 4GB (as its in FAT format). Its a new
external HDD. Thinking of the best format(that would work with Mac , Win
and Linux) .seems like a challenge.
What's your view on NTFS? And why not exFAT?
Thanks
Kevin

backing up IMAP server on a hard drive
Dear Rick,
Thanks for your feedback.
I think rsync might be a better option. Its(imap server)with gmail so I
dont think it would work .
Furthermore I am running a linux system(Ubuntu 14.04 to be precise). Does
Mercury 32 support it?
>From the site it seems not.
Please advise.

Where to place a global function
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

Beware of Mozilla + Rails
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

backing up IMAP server on a hard drive
Dear Rick,
Thanks.
I guess I'll have to install dovecot.
I am not sure what the parameter for the -host2 should be(apart from
localhost? )
Its my first time doing dovecot on a Linux desktop.
I was thinking of using Thunderbird to download all mails but I guess that
will be too long of a process.

I'm sorry to hijack a thread to do this, but I actually had to reply to
someone in order to show you the symptom.
Before describing the symptom, let me give you the situation... I'm

Does dovecot work OK on *BSD?
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

Good email client to use with Dovecot?
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?
Thanks,
SteveT

ACL support?
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

I need debugging tips?
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

backing up email / saving maildir on external hard drives
Hi Felix,
I would prefer having one HDD that works with all three OSes. That
would be very convenient.
Guess exFAT is my best bet. Its supported on Linux,Win and OS X.
What do you reckon?
Best Regards
