Re: Preserving flags, and their global nature
--On Tuesday, November 19, 2002 5:09 PM + Ian McDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Over the weekend, it struck me that a patch to make 'seen' global could be as simple as commenting out the calls to the code that treats '\Seen' as a special-case global variable, and adding 'Seen' to the list of global flags. Somewhere. Unfortunately, when I had a look at the source code, I could find libraries dealing with Seen, but no list of global flags or obvious hook for the 'seen' per-user code. Is it that simple? Where should I be looking? Well, you can change the libraries dealing with seen to not pay attention to the username. If you want it to be stored with the other global flags it is somewhat more complicated. To do this right, you want an option to store FLAG_SEEN as part of system_flags in the cyrus.index file. (Likewise, you probably want an option to store FLAG_DELETED as per-user state---so really you want to abstract out the idea of \Seen being special.) Larry
Re: Best way to backup cyrus system
It would be nice to add a backup section to the documentation. Live backup is supported with Cyrus, though running "dump" on a live filesystem is only to be done with care. We use vxfs on Solaris and snapshots and have been happy with it. The databases are backed up by Cyrus 2.1 every checkpoint period into the db.old directories. At least one of those directories should contain a clean copy of the berkeley db databases. In general, mailboxes can be restored if the message files are around---you can always delete the cyrus.* files (losing flag state) and run reconstruct. Larry

Re: Thoughts on the age-old cyradm thingie
Interesting. That patch just installs Shell.pm into vendor_perl instead of site_perl. But when I ran the stock Cyrus configure on MDK 9.0, I had no problem with it running in site_perl; the problem I had was just that site_perl is not actually under PREFIX, and Makefile.PL passes PREFIX explicitly. What problems did you have under 9.0? Conversely, it doesn't seem like your RPM changes PREFIX, so do you know offhand how Shell.pm ends up getting installed properly in /usr/lib instead of /usr/local? Thinking further about this, I no longer like my idea of a separate --perl-prefix configure option, because if I do "configure --prefix=/home/jay", I should reasonably expect that nothing is being installed into sitewide libraries. So now I'm back to thinking that if --prefix is not explicitly set, we shouldn't pass it to MakeMaker, which is, after all, supposed to be in charge of knowing where perl libraries are supposed to go. Are there systems where NOT passing PREFIX to MakeMaker does the wrong thing? - Original Message - From: "Luca Olivetti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Simon Matter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Jay Levitt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 4:05 AM Subject: Re: Thoughts on the age-old cyradm thingie > Simon Matter wrote: > > part of their distributions in the past.

Re: Not seeing Inbox
It seems You need to use feature below: from doc/overview.html: Alternate Namespace The Cyrus IMAP server can also use an alternate namespace which allows a user's personal mailboxes to appear as if they reside at the same level as that user's INBOX as opposed to children of it. With this feature, it may appear that there are non-unique names for mailboxes between users (2 different users may each have a top level "work" mailbox), but the internal representation is still user.name.work. == Alternate Mailbox Namespace The alternate namespace allows a user's personal mailboxes to appear as if they reside at the same level as that user's INBOX as opposed to children of it. For example, if user "bovik" had a personal "work" mailbox, it would appear to user "bovik" as "work" instead of "INBOX.work" as it would in the standard namespace. This configuration requires that a special prefix be used for shared folders (to distinguish them from personal folders) and for accessing other users' folders. By default, the prefix for shared folders is "Shared Folders" and the prefix for other users folders is "Other Users". For example, a shared folder "foo" in the standard namespace would be presented as "Shared Folders.foo" in the alternate namespace. NOTE: All tools for administering the server, including admins using cyradm, always use the internal namespace. = Configuring the Alternate Namespace To use the alternate namespace, turn on the altnamespace option in /etc/imapd.conf. The prefixes used for shared folders and other users folders can be changed from the defaults by setting the sharedrefix and userprefix options respectively. = Sasha PS.

Turning this on will make INBOX appear as a regular folder (even though it's a level above all the others). The user won't be able to create any folders underneath INBOX, if they try they will end up at the same level as INBOX. You can then create the other folders as needed. As far as Sent Items, Deleted Items, Outbox, etc. those are under control of your MUA, you can create them but it will need to actually be told how to use them.
RE: Not seeing Inbox
If you set up an IMAP client, you should see all the folders in Exchange, just like you would with any other IMAP account - except, if you use shared folders, Outlook Express can't (or won't) poll them and won't display them by default. You have to go to Folders, click on the shared folder and click on Go To to get the folder to display in the tree. The other gentleman was incorrect about OE displaying the Inbox. Using IMAP, it displays the inbox just fine. *POP* accounts are all "consolidated in the default Inbox. As far as why you can't see the IMAP inbox, that's an issue separate from OE. Look at the permissions on the folder.

Not seeing Inbox
Hi- After creating a mailbox (cm user.testuser) I created an account in Ooulook Express. It connects and authenticates just fine, but the only 2 folders that show up are Sent Items and Drafts, I don't see an Inbox. Also, I've noticed that sometimes the server rejects my login the first 1 or 2 times but works fine the 2nd or 3rd times. This also sometimes happens with cyradm. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Though my users as well as yours and many other use 8 bits characters in headers (subject line for example). Here is what I did. Locate imap/messages.c and comment out the line that says *p = 'X'; then locate imap/lmtpengine.c and comment out the line that says c = 'X'; Recompile and install. I was just able to send an email with 8 bit chars in subject line and it works. If you go for it, please let me know if it worked with you, and if it does, perhaps you can repost it to the list.

Re: Compiling ACAP
i think the latest acap version doesn't support sasl2. i wanted to try acap as well since i liked the idea very much. however, the server development has practically stopped. if i was you i would try the communigate acap server first. they told me the acap server is in no way limited in the trial version and it thus can be used 'freely'. otherwise, depending on what you want to do, try the cyrus imsp. thats what i ended up with. it works pretty well. --On Mittwoch, 20.

I Need Help!!
Hello everybody, i have a cyrus-qmail instalation and i have a BIG problem. In /var/spool/imap/user i have all the mailboxes... the problem is that i have a lot of mailboxes: [root@skios01 user]# pwd/var/spool/imap/user[root@skios01 user]# ls -l | wc -l 30050 In /var/imap/user there are this directory tree: [root@skios01 user]# pwd/var/imap/user[root@skios01 user]# lsa b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z It is possible that all the incoming mails are delivered in those directories? , for example... if the server receives a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , the mail must be delivered in /var/imap/user/v Thanks a lot.

That's it right now. There is no config option that you can set so that a single CREATE command will do the trick. You're going to need a CREATE and a SETACL, whether you do it via cyradm or script it yourself. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > Well I suppose it is a mailbox without a parent because it's the INBOX of > a > > user that I am creating and before that nothing exists for that user. > Again > > the mailbox I am creating is user.testuser and I tryed setting the > default > > acl like that in imapd.conf: > > > > defaultacl: cyrus all > > > > restarted the master daemon process but it still didn't work ! > > > > Any ideas ? > > This option is only for toplevel folders.

Yes it does. Strictly speaking, the mechansim doesn't decide how the
challenges/responses will be encoded, this is done by the application
protocol.
If you wanted to test PLAIN via telnet, you can do what I do. In a
shell, do:
printf "\0username\0password" | mimencode
This will give you the correct PLAIN response which you can paste into
your telnet session.
Of, course, the best thing to use is sivtest, as Rob suggests. The same
can be said for testing _any_ of the protocols used by Cyrus. There is
an apptly named test tool for all of them (actually, they are just links
to imtest).
