Re: [SOGo] GUI Revamp
Hi all, thanks a lot for all the effort so far with sogo. I really like it. Unfortunately I am not a UI designer but I would like to contribute with an idea: I think the only thing which is missing in sogo is a plugin-system. Maybe you would like to take this into consideration when you are rewriting the UI - I personally would find it very helpful/useful to have a plugin-system (bookmark-plugin as an example). You need to define a plugin lifecycle, a skeleton and allow access to DB and UI. :-) What do you think?

Re: [SOGo] Dovecot shared mailbox dictionary via SOGo
Hi Michael, well my setup is also still ldap based but that should not be a problem. Yes, your existing data for calendars and contacts should remain in the existing tables as SOGo will create new ones (with a part of the domain in the table name) - so if you revert the setting it should be there again. At least thats what i experienced when i did the setup - it kept the old tables under the old names. But i can't give any warranty on this.. :) I have never used the sogo-tool, sorry. But i am looking forward to your experiences with it on this topic.

Thanks very much Alex, I'll give that a go. I've loaded test data into calendar and contacts on my new system as I'm preparing to migrate a bunch of customers, some of whom have an older server build based on OpenLDAP rather than Samba AD. So, if I wanted to keep this data as a test is there a way? I've just had a look at the sogo-tool rename function. Does this do what I need?

Re: [SOGo] Dovecot shared mailbox dictionary via SOGo
Hi Ian, if you change SOGoEnableDomainBasedUID to yes so that UIDFieldName will be taken from the mail adress. This should solve your problem. At least for me it did but i have set it up on a SOGo 2.0.2. There should be no issue with calendars etc. when you are setting up a new server anyway as everything after changing this setting will work again as expected. SOGo will create new tables in the database with the new UID = mail so if you would revert the setting it would use the old tables from the UID = uid again. Hope this helps.

[SOGo] Dovecot shared mailbox dictionary via SOGo
It's Friday afternoon and 13th! My brain is starting to ache after spending the morning trying to diagnose an issue with shared mailboxes using SOGo 2.2.5 and Dovecot 2.2.9 on a new server build under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. So, I thought I would see if anyone on the list can assist me? I've narrowed the problem down to the username being inserted by SOGo into my shared dictionary file. When I add an entry via the SOGo web UI I get the following style of line written: shared/shared-boxes/user/usera/us...@example.net 1 However, if I use the IMAP ACL extension for Thunderbird and do the same thing it yields: shared/shared-boxes/user/us...@example.net/us...@example.net 1 With the domain name specified in both entries everything works fine in both Thunderbird and the SOGo web UI. So, I guess my question is, where does SOGo get the username of the person I'm sharing a mail folder with? We're using a Samba 4 Active Directory as the source for users and as far as I can tell everything else is working fine. By turning mail_debug on in Dovecot I can see that the ACL plugin is indeed checking for the full e-mail address of the user, rather than just their username. My guess would be to change UIDFieldName in sogo.conf from it's current value of sAMAccountName to mail? However, my understanding is that would break all calendars and addressbooks in the database as they then wouldn't be associated with their owners. Is there a way to fix this if I need to do it?

IMAP was never accessible from the SOGo administration interface. You only can set privileges for address books and calendars there. But you can subscribe to any address book and/or calendar as SOGoSuperUser and have full modify privileges in them, without changing these privileges beforehand in the administration interface.

This is something that is done on imap-level. You have to check-out how to do it with your imap server.

For address books you only can give read access or revoke it. For calendars you can specify separate for the three event confidentially classes "Public", "Confidential" and "Private" which read access you want to grant. So you can choose for those classes if "None", "View the Date & Time" or "View All" shall be given. Be aware, that after allowing public access, in the calendar "Properties" --> "Links to this Calendar" there is a new section "Public Access". In this section are the Links listed to access this calendar from the public internet.

I assume that's because email clients usually use multiple connections in parallel to do the copying or moving. So not always are folders created in the correct order. If that happens, outlook will lock up while copying/moving and sometimes you are not able to delete the corrupt orders via outlook or another email client afterwards. This means you have to get rid of them manually on the IMAP server side. So in my experience you better create the folders beforehand if you have more than on level of folders.
