Hi all, I was asked in the last days from a few people by private mail how far I am with thy try of installing Cyrus IMAP or other IMAP-server. here is a short view of the state:
-> after trying again Cyrus, Dovecot, the "build in" imap-demon of openSUSE and having all over trouble with everyone, I started a new search in the net, and readed a lot of posts in wikis, mailinglists and newsgroups ( hmm, I think a few hundret the last days). -> then I've found a "hint" for Cyrus on the wiki of Cyrus self - about authentication and authorization. a rule - if using SASL for authetication - that was missing on all tutorials and even in the magazine from "heise" about linux and openSUSE was about the fact that there is need for a password entry in the db of SASL. so, after running a "sasslpasswd2 cyrus" I've set the coorrect password for user cyrus. now I could login via cyradm and try the first steps for administration of cyrus-IMAP. -> I'm able to connect with Thunderbird to the server - but no connection via Outlook. damm. -> to get the old data into the new server, I've imported the mails into thunderbird from a local .pst-file that was set as default datastore in outlook. it tooks me about 2 hours for the import ( 1.2 GB data ! ). -> after that I started to copy from the (local) data in thunderbird to the server - and get the next hole to trab in: the error about "bare newlines". a search about that error will bring a lot posts from people who have the same trouble ( mostly coming from outlook !! ), but there is no realy working solution to find. so I have to work on it to get the data into the new server. ( I have also tryed the alpha1 from thunderbird2 that has a fix for exactly that problem - but it looks like that even this didn't work). damm again. but I'm a lot of steps nearly tothe point I need to be, because all the other needed stuff ( fetchmail, procmail ) is allready working. next things will be the topics "spam" and "virus check", but I don't think that I will get there in trouble again - so I can see allready the next weekend with the topic "Calendar". here I will need to find a solution for a lot of dates ( about 3.000 currectly ). a happy weekend again ;) so, thats all for infos for today I think. best regards, JBScout aka Thomy BTW: thanks to all the the help and the hints - even some people didn't post here on the list but in a private mail. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
