Re: [MlMt] 2nd instance of MaiMate

2020-05-18 Thread Rob Willett via mailmate
Depends on the VM technology, e.g. VMWare Fusion, Virtual Box, 
Parallels.


We use VMWare Fusion for stuff that absolutely must run on Windows 10, 
in our case micro controller programmers. We use VMWare Fusion and the 
main resource limit for us is the memory but this is not all allocated 
at once.


The best doc I can find is older and refers to VMWare Workstation 
https://www.vmware.com/support/ws45/doc/performance_mem_ws.html but I 
have no reason to think that this has changed.


Whilst it’s a hack to have to run a separate VM just for Mailmate, it 
may be worth trying Virtual Box as it’s free (which given it’s now 
Oracle, is amazing).


Can’t promise it will work the way you want, but I know that many 
companies use it where I work.


No experience of Parallels and I don’t like subscription models.

Bill,

Thanks for the idea, I’ll look into the different user.

Not a big fan of a VM since it is resource intensive.

Hello,

Anybody any idea ?


Do it in a VM? Do it in a different user account?

This is really a problem with the macOS application architecture. It 
isn't designed to support multiple instances of the same app run by 
the same user.

Re: [MlMt] Moving complete folder tree from one IMAP server to another

2020-05-06 Thread Rob Willett via mailmate

I wasn’t aware that imapsync was produced by Google.

I can state that I moved 40GB of mail data around with it when I changed 
mail servers and it worked very well indeed.

I would like to move/copy a mailbox tree (i.e. mailboxes that

can I accomplish moving the entire tree?  Thanks.

Re: [MlMt] UK email provider recommendations

2019-11-26 Thread Rob Willett via mailmate

You can roll your own with Message-In-A-Box (MIAB).

https://mailinabox.email/

We use it on a VPS Ubuntu 16.04 server. Yes we know it should be on 
Ubuntu 18.04 but nobody has OpenVZ containers for Ubuntu 18.04.


Takes about 60 mins to do from start to finish, most of that time is 
setting the server up. The server becomes an appliance and it just works 
for us. It sorts out certificates and mail group aliasing. We also run 
simple web servers (no PHP) easily and quickly.


We have the smallest VPS plan and it's fine.

You do need to be familiar with the command line and to be happy to run 
your own server, but I spend no more than 10 mins a month managing it.

Hi MM Community!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a UK (or EU) based IMAP host 
that plays nicely with MailMate? IE not Gmail or MS365.


For a small business with not much traffic, but a decent amount of 
storage is required.


Thanks!

Re: [MlMt] VPN conflicts

2019-09-23 Thread Rob Willett via mailmate

Peter,

All of the information about you was found in two quick web addresses 
checks.


I can see that somebody else already runs PIA, so I'd suggest you follow 
their advice first and if that doesn't work, then do my stuff. The fact 
it works for another person manes it should work for you.


Let us know how it goes.

Thank you gain, Rob.  Your quite the detective, and I’m sorry about 
not giving more details.  Your guess is right about the PIA tool, and 
you’re also on the money about Gmail as Florida.  I’ll go ahead

working).

Peter,

You don't need to be a network engineer to get VPN's to work. Indeed 
my 78 year old mother recently setup a VPN so she could access 
location restricted TV series content by herself. I have to admit I 
was a little surprised but hey ho


Anyway the key to getting help is to provide concise (but complete) 
information in as simple a summary as possible. Including specific 
information such as the names of the tool helps, e.g. Private 
Internet Access tool doesn't give much to go on, if I search on that, 
I get lots of VPN's that could be that, but none that is definitely 
that. I'm guessing your service is from


https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/

but thats a guess.

Noe the fact that you have outbound traffic issues makes me assume 
that your network provider is external to your local network, and 
that you possibly use an external mail provider, gmail is a guess but 
could be anything. If I check your website, you're possibly based in 
Florida but originally in Pennsylvania?


Anyway, a quick check on your MX record seems to indicate that you're 
using Google as your mail provider


https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=a%3awinnowmanagement.com=toolpage#

Mmm... now Google might have put restrictions on how you access your 
email account and you may have fallen foul of these. I have never 
used Google for email so am now wholly in the dark.


What I'd first of all do is:

Connection to 'whatsmyip.com' and see what IP address you are 
connecting to that website as. Write the address down.
Then fire up your VPN and try and connect to 'whatsmyip.com' again 
and now see what it says. Write the address down. If you can't 
connect to whatsmyip.com then you have an outgoing fault and your VPN 
isn't working properly. You will get a while new IP address if your 
VPN is working.
Open up a terminal window on your Mac. Got to 
Applications->Utilities->Terminal. Type in nslookup news.bbc.co.uk 
and cut and paste the output to a mail.
If you have no issues connecting to whatsmyip.com, fire up mailmate, 
open up the Activity Window in Windows->Activity viewer and try and 
send an email. If it fails you should get an error log.

Post all this into a mail we can see the error you are getting.
Hope this helps.

Your issue is very unlikely to be Mailmate, but rather how your VPN

Your comment that using a VPN and having expected issues is not
