10.8.1 server.app, mail size not set

Hi,
In server.app (ML 10.8.1), I am trying to change the mail size limit:
- open server.app
- click on "mail" in the left pane
- toggle the on/off switch to "off"
- check the box "Limit mail to" and input a file size (300 Mb in my example)
- toggle the on/off switch to "on"
But the mail size limit won't change as you can read from the following command line interactions
1) before applying the change above:
bash-3.2# serveradmin settings mail|grep size
mail:postfix:message_size_limit_enabled = yes
mail:postfix:message_size_limit = 204857600
mail:imap:sieve_maxscriptsize = 32
2) after applying this change
bash-3.2# serveradmin settings mail|grep size
mail:postfix:message_size_limit_enabled = yes
mail:postfix:message_size_limit = 204857600
mail:imap:sieve_maxscriptsize = 32

You change the whole mailbox size in Server.app, by reading the message_size_limit you only see the maximum size of individual messages, which you have not changed, but you can in /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/main.cf by editing the value of message_size_limit almost at the bottom. Save the file and restart your mail server in server.app.

I took my iMac to be fixed and when i got it back, mail was not set up. I called Apple Support and they helped me set up mail. Then the emails went to trash on the iMac and on the MacBook Pro (same emails). There are no numbers by the 'inbox' to tell how

I took my iMac to be fixed and when I got it back, mail was not set, so I called Apple and they helped me set up mail. Now the new mail goes to trash and there is no number by the 'inbox' to tell me how many new messages I have. I cannot save a draft to 'drafts.' There is a large number by 'trash' (I think all mail went to trash - including drafts). When I send myself an emai, it goes to trash also. This is on both my iMac (the one taken in) and my MacBook Pro (same emails) which was not taken in.
I went to 'rules' but have no idea what to do there. There are no rules in the rule box. When I click 'add rule' it puts 'rule 1' in the rule box, but since that was not there when I took it in, I delete it to have an empty rule box.
Can someone pleasehelp me. I am completely stupid with all this. Do not under stand what is suppose to be set up in 'rules.'
Thank you so much,
Arudi

Now new mail is coming to both computer's inboxes but there is no number on the stamp icon on dock to show number of emails on the iMac. Nor is there a number by either email address under MAILBOXES/inbox (sidebar) on the iMac. This number is showing on MacBook Pro.
I also can save drafts now on both computers.
Seems the Pro is fixed and the iMac is only missing the numbers on dock icon and by addresses in inbox.
Now that the problem is less, I feel i am wasting your time but will continue so maybe I can get those numbers back.
Two emails > AT&T email and gmail.
Apple's Mail program for email - yes, and gmail.
IMAP for both accounts.
Did not change mail configuration on MacBook.
The iMac and MacBook Pro have the same mail configuration except in Accounts/mailbox behaviours/store draft messages on the server was not marked on MacBook > it is now.
'Store junk messages on the server' was marked on one computer for gmail, but is unmarked on both now.
On the iMac, Accounts/Accounts info/Outgoing mail for gmail is smtpgmail.
On the MacBook Pro for gmail it is smpt.gmail.com (plus) my email address.
Rules/Add rule window, on the MacBook third line is 'Any Recipient', on the iMac third line is 'From."
The last box on that line has my email address on the MacBook.
The last box on that line has the last address I sent an emil to (last night), on the iMac.
On the last line on iMac, no box was selicted for 'to mailbox' > I choose 'inbox' because it is on the MacBook Pro.
Now I have a Rule #1 and am not sure I should have because there was no rules marked when I took the computer in.
Thank you. I relized I had done the labeling wrong when so much of my question appeared twice and no one else's did. I know how to do it now.
Thank you so much,

Icloud mail is not set up in outlook

I am helping someone who never got Outlook and iCloud talking. They have Outlook 2007 and Windows Vista. They have iCloud 2.1.3. They have an iPhone 4s with IOS 7. There is an iCloud folder in Outlook, but it is empty.
In iCloud on my PC, I get the message "icloud Mail is not set up in Outlook". Under the message is another message I can click on "Set up [email protected] in Outlook" where myname is the first part of the email i am using in Outlook ([email protected]). I have "Contacts, Calendars, & Tasks with Outlook" checked. I click on the "Set up..." message and then I get "Setting Up..." with a spinning wheel next to "Contacts, Calendars, & Tasks with Outlook", The "Setting Up..." has been there overnight, so I think something is wrong.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Use the settings from this article and attempt to set it up manually

Server app task list not showing up!

All of a sudden when I try connecting to my Macpro server locally using the Server app. I connect (no error msg's) but the dialog box with the setup boxes, views, task ..etc is not showing up. When I look at the view on menu bar all the features are greyed out. The only thing showing up is "hide accounts'. Working fine couple of days ago, no changes were made Any idea?

Thanks everyone for the replies. Here is how I corrected the problem. I deleted and installed a fresh Server app, so now I was able to connect and view my profiles, Noticed in the "Alerts" window that my localhost IP has changed from the original one I used to setup the server. I normally use DHCP with manual i/p. The other night I played around with network addressing and changed to DHCP. That's when my problem started. All is good now and again thanks for quick response!

Rejected By The Server Sending Mail ISP Not Blocking 25

I am getting a reject by the server because it does not allow relaying. I not sure if this is my ISP blocking it because I telnet mydomain.com 25 and get

What on the lion server do I need to do to allow that to pass?

OSX MAIL SERVICE NOT SETTING MAIL AS READ

I have osx server with mail service enabled. I have numerous accounts setup and working correctly. I have two accounts which are not functioning correctly
when the user reads his email, the email registers as read on the computer, in his email client...however when the user reopens his email client, all the emails that he previously read reappears as being unread. I have setup these IMAP accounts on different computers and using different email clients.. and each computer and each client responds exactly the same way. How do I reset the accounts to accept email normally and recognize that mail is indeed read and tells the server the correct commands for this to happen....my email is [email protected], if anyone has a solution please help

Assuming you are using the default paths (if not adjust):
cd into /var/imap/user/firstletterofusername/
You should see a list of files that look something like:
username.seen
Make a copy and delete the one belonging to the user you have problems with.
Use terminal, not Finder.
HTH,
Alex

I'm trying to reply to an email on my iPhone, but I get the message "the recipient was rejected by the server". What have I not set properly?

Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Account > Account Name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and enter your email account and password. Make sure things are filled in properly.

Error trying to run SSIS Package via SQL Server Agent: DTExec: Could not set \Package.Variables[User::VarObjectDataSet].Properties[Value] value to System.Object

Situation:
SSIS Package designed in SQL Server 2012 - SQL Server Data Tools
Windows 7 - 64 bit.
The package (32 bit) extracts data from a SQL Server db to an Excel Output file, via an OLE DB connection.
It uses 3 package variables:
*) SQLCommand (String) to specify the SQL Statement to be executed by the package
Property path: \Package.Variables[User::ExcelOutputFile].Properties[Value]
Value: f:\Output Data.xls
*) EXCELOutputFIle (String) to specify path and filename of the Excel output file
Property path: \Package.Variables[User::SQLCommand].Properties[Value]
Value: select * from CartOrder
*) VarObjectDataSet (Object) to hold the data returned by SQL Server)
Property path: \Package.Variables[User::VarObjectDataSet].Properties[Value]
Value: System.Object
It consists out of 2 components:
*) Execute SQL Task: executes the SQL Statement passed on via a package variable. The resultng rows are stored in the package variable VarObjectDataSet
*) Script Task: creates the physical output file and iterates VarObjectDataSet to populate the Excel file.
Outcome and issue:The package runs perfectly fine both in SQL Server Data Tools itself and in DTEXECUI.
However, whenever I run it via SQL Server Agent (with 32 bit runtime option set), it returns the errror message below.
This package contains 3 package variables but the error stating that a package variable can not be set, pops up for the VarObjectDataSet only. This makes me wonder if it is uberhaupt possible to set the value of a package variable
of type Object.
Can anybody help me on this please ?

Hi Visakh,
thank you for your reply.
So, judging by your reply, not all package variables used inside a package need to be set a value for when run in DTEXEC ?
I already tried that but my package ended up in error (something to do with "... invocation ...." and that error is anything but clearly documented. Judging by the error message itself, it looks like it could be just about anything. that is why I asked my
first question about the object type package variable.
Now, I will remove it from the 'set values' list and try another go cracking the unclear error-message " ... invocation ...". Does an error message about " ... invocation ..." ring any bells, now that we are talking about it here ?
Thx in advance
Jurgen
Yes exactly
You need to set values only forthem which needs to be controlled from outside the package
Any variable which gets its value through expression set inside package or through a query inside execute sql task/script task can be ignored from DTExec
Ok I've seen the invocation error mostly inside script task. This may be because some error inside script written in script task. If it appeared after you removed the variable then it may because some reference of variable existing within script task.

What happens to calls when voice mail is not set up?

Odd question...what happens to calls placed to a number that does not have the voice mail set-up yet? Do they show up as missed calls or anywhere in the call log for that number? Or is it like the call never happened because it was not answered and could not go to voice mail? Also curious as to whether or not missed calls show up on the phone once it is powered back on after having been shut off (powered all the way down). I realize those calls will go to voice mail (provided it has been set-up) but will the calls show up as missed on the phone when it is turned back on?

Not odd...On Verizon if it is not set up, you will hear a recording that says "Im sorry, but the party you are trying to reach has a vm box that has not been set up yet". It will show as missed if the phone is on, and will appear in the log if the phone is on. If the phone is powered off, the call does not show in the log when turned back on. It will appear as if it never happened. You will only know if you get a VM (if its set up) or if the person tells you, hey I called you!

Connexion problems to POP server with mail but not Thunderbird...

Hello guys !
I have a problem with the server of my lab.. the connexion between Mail and the server doesn't work any more (used to work very nice a few weeks ago) and Mail say that the connexion to port 995 or even 110 was not possible because of a delay... do you know something new about such a problem ?
fact is, it works on thunderbird with the same settings and works sometimes with Mail on the WE (maybe there are less people using the server and it is more rapid ?) and it works all the time from my home...
Any idea about this problem ?
I had an answer on a Mail topic from somebody :
"In your case it definitely sounds like an issue of high traffic on the network (working on weekends, intermittently from home, etc.). It sounds like higher-capacity network hardware or more available bandwidth are needed. Mail.app might be more sensitive to dropped packets or slow connections; I don't know if that can be changed via a config file. You might try posting a separate post to get help from some folks who might know."
maybe his answer is of any help for someone who knows about all this...
Does somebody have an idea why thunderbird works and not Mail.app ? Is there something to do ?
Thanks for your help.

hello abd thanks for your interest.
the settings in Tbird are simple connexion to internet, no proxy settings... and the port is simply 25...
what is strange is that Mail.app used to work in my lab without a problem... I think the lab network (it's a special network for laptops...) is too slow, because it works in the morning and during the week-end... is it possible to change the setting in mail for the connexion ?
i'm getting mad with this problem.

Mail preferences not setting right

My password keeps getting rejected by the SMTP server, despite the fact that it is typed in correctly. I think my problem is in account preferences, because where it says "Email Adress" it has my email adress with an extra "@mac.com" after it. I keep trying to change it, and then when I close the preferences window it asks me if I want to save and I click "Save," but then the "Enter Password" box pops up again and - sure enough - my changes in preferences didn't save! How do I fix this?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

think my problem is in account preferences, because where it says
"Email Adress" it has my email adress with an extra "@mac.com" after it.
Are you able to receive messages?
Although this isn't normal, it shouldn't effect the SMTP server settings which are separate.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
The SMTP server settings should be as follows:
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.mac.com
Server Port: 587
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Can be selected or not selected.
Authentication: Password
User Name: The portion of your .Mac email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your internet service provider (ISP) with the Mail.app?
If so, are you able to send messages with this account and SMTP server?
If yes to both, you can also select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.

Is there a 10.9 Server app available as 10.8 now longer works with Mavericks

Since updating from Mountain Lion to mavericks the 10.8 Server.app software does not run, is there an update to 10.9

tbh I'd forgotten about the OS Version mis-match problem with Server.app and because I'd found a version of Work Group Manager that ran under Mavericks thought there'd be a version of Server.app as well
As there's no way we will be update all our servers to Mavericks, I'll just have to revert to Apple Remote Desktop and run Server.app locally
Thanks for jogging my memory Semmelroccys about

MAIL will not allow iCloud alias to receive mail

I am not a novice. I have been on iCloud (sadly) since July 2011. Today I tried to activate an email alias which was transferred into iCloud. It's valid and has been for years, but not activate since I migrated to iCloud.
Every time I set up the existing alias in MAIL I get the error "invalid incoming mail server." I have used the Apple recomendation to use imap.mail.me.com. When it comes time to exist ACCOUNT under Mail PREFERENCES, it will never SAVE changes as the incomding mail server information is grayed out and goes back to "example" and is not accessible.
I have also entered p99-imap.mail.me.com with the same result.
Two hours of going to icloud.com or managing my apple id online have brought exactly the same result. Although the alias shows as activated under icloud.com and although it is accepted by MAIL, the message is always the same (invalid incoming mail server) and the account change can never be saved in MAIL.
XXX
I have a business with MobileMe accounts and we are going to be forced to migrate to icloud in a few months. I have nightmares about it alraedy.
Since Apple doesn't give a good cr*p about this, I humbly ask if there is anyone who really knows what is going wrong and how to work around it?
Again: I migrated to icloud with my apple id in July 2011. MAIL will NOT set up my icloud alias as it always grays out the incoming mail server and returns the error "invalid incoming mail server" and will not even allow me the save the information.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi Roger
Thank you for your suggestions.
I already have an ALIAS set up and receiving emails in my main INBOX under the alias name. It is a MobileMe alias from my separate business mac account. It has worked as a separate "account" under MAIL for 10 years. It is an ALIAS, not a main identity mac account. The System Preference panel is ACCOUNTS, not aliases, so I use the word "account" when I speak of setting up a new inbox with a different name and password whether that is an iCloud alias or a gmail account.
We may be talking about the same thing but I'm not using a word you use. I am allowed 3 icloud mail aliases. I am allowed 5 mail aliases under my business mac account. On my mac MAIL I already have three separate "accounts" or inboxes: (1) my private mac ID account (2) my business MAC account (3) an alias from my business account. All three have different passwords. None of the three gets emails sent the other two "accounts."
Maybe I just don't get "icloud." I certainly got "MobileMe" in the past. The alias that is currently working as a separate "account" or "identity" under MAIL is proof of that.
I am going to delete the "alias account" from MAIL and call it a day. For me, iCloud is commensurate with Windows ME in the history of computing: a stupid change that resulted in nothing but aggravation for everybody who was dumb enough to sign up for it. I won't be signing up for the next "big thing" from Apple. I'm sure there are tens of thousands of other users who feel equally "used" by Apple on this.
I'm marking the question ANSWERED and closing the thread. iCloud is iCrap and nothing I've experienced with it in six months has changed that opion and the fact that you can get a gmail account operating in MAIL in 2 minutes but you can't get an iCloud email alias working in five hours is just more fuel on that bonfire.
Thank you again for your couresty and your time. I doubt if my business account, which has to be downgraded to iCloud in a few months, will function at first and I doubt if the 10-year-old alias on that account will continue to function in MAIL.
Mike
