Adding and Deleting mail accounts

Hi all,
I have a 10.4.11 server running Mail services. I recently tried to add a user account for a new employee. The account was created without error, and the appropriate mailbox created, etc., etc. However whenever I tested logging in to webmail, I got the following error message:
"ERROR: Could not complete request.
Query: SELECT "INBOX"
Reason Given: System I/O error"
At the same time, in the console I get the following message:
"Aug 22 11:40:58 od-replica imap[10718]: IOERROR: opening /Volumes/DataMirror/mailserver/mail-store/user/monicatanksley/cyrus.header: No such file or directory
Aug 22 11:40:58 od-replica imap[10718]: IOERROR: opening /Volumes/DataMirror/mailserver/mail-store/user/monicatanksley/Deleted Messages/cyrus.header: No such file or directory
Aug 22 11:40:59 od-replica imap[10718]: IOERROR: opening /Volumes/DataMirror/mailserver/mail-store/user/monicatanksley/cyrus.header: No such file or directory"
I then went to delete the user account as I was under the impression that this also deletes the mail account. However the user entry is still in mailboxes.db. How am I to delete it completely so I can work on recreating this account?
TIA!
Andrew

You can use SirAdmin ( http://explanatorygap.net/2006/05/13/siradmin-a-gui-replacement-for-cyradm/ ) to delete IMAP accounts.
Alternatively, recreate it in WGM making sure you use the very same first shortname you did when you first created the account. When done, download mailbfr ( http://osx.topicdesk.com/tools/ ), install it and issue:
mailbfr -m username
(replace username with that first shortname - monicatanksley according to the log entry)

  • Problems adding and deleting mail accounts

    I am running server 10.5.8 and have had amazingly few issues or crashes. I'm a novice, know zero about UNIX, but have a server for a small office that i set up and has run without issues for years. It hosts our website and email and some basic file sharing and ftp.
    This past week, I tried to add a user in Workgroup Manager, that is basically just an email user. Worked fine in Workgroup Manager, and activated the account and enabled email as both pop and imap. i also deleted some users that are no longer with us.
    I tried to set up Mail on the client computer, and it would not work. I went back to the server and in Server Admin it shows that Mail is up, other users are getting their mail, but the new user I set up in workgroup manager is not showing up as having an account in server admin, and the users i deleted in workgroup manager still seem to have accounts in server admin.
    In the Mail Access log I just get repeats of this same message;
    Aug 28 10:23:59 server imap[1386]: AOD: user opts: get attributes for user: office failed with error: -14479
    I tried restarting, tried to repair permissions etc.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    no they did not show up there either.
    i opened up users and groups and just tried adding the user to the access list.
    i will let you know how it works.
    thanks.

  • Now with iCloud mail, do I delete my Mac and Me Mail accounts on my devices?

    My computer and Iphone had email accounts for Mac mail and Mobileme (I think they are duplicates when mac changed to me and I just left them).
    Now with Icloud uploaded and configured for all my devices, it appears that both accounts are there but one appears never to be connected and they both quite often ask for my password in that pop up window. So my questions are.
    1. Can I eliminate (delete) one from my Mac Laptops? Which one if the answer is yes.
    2. On my Iphone: there is only an Icloud and Mac mail accounts (mobileme never came over). Should I keep both?
    Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated as its a bit confusing as to how it all ties together.
    Skip

    iCloud uses your mac mail account.  If you haven't already done so, here is the sequence to follow:
    1. If you have a Mac, upgrade it to 10.7.2.
    2. Upgrade any iDevices to 10.5
    3. Go to iCloud.com and follow the process to transfer your mail account to iCloud.
    It sounds like you've done most of that.  The rejected password issue is due to the fact that iCloud is experiencing some intermittant growing pains problems.  It kind of comes and goes.  If you've managed to connect once, your solid.  Just be a little patient as the iCloud mail service usually comes back fairly quickly.

  • How do I recover a deleted mail account and all associated contacts?

    How do I recover a deleted mail account and all associated contacts?

    Set it up again. If you didn't delete anything from the mail server, everything should sync right back up.

  • Why do I show both the iCloud and .mac  mail accounts on my phone

    I have an icloud account and both the .mac and icloud mail account show up on my iphone.  Is this necessary?  If I disable mail on the icloud page of my phone, will the mail be accessable in icloud but not show as a seperate account on my phone?

    You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone.  If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so.  Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
    In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

  • On my daughters IPHONE 5 i want to know which apps she has added and deleted.  Is there a log or way to track?

    My daughter has an IPHONE, i want to be able to track which applications she has added and deleted.  For instance, if she adds an application she shouldn't and when it comes time to verify and she doesn't have the application because she deleted it so i wouldn't see, is there a log or way to track what application have been added / deleted with dates and times?

    If you go to a computer that has the itunes program on it you are then able to go to the APPs store on itunes and login in with  your daughters apple id. Once logged in with her apple id you then are able to see all historical archies by simply clickon in the apple id going from there to 'accounts' from account you are able to see purchased items. Not clear exactly what the 'deleting' of apps is all about but certainlly this will allow you to track what has been downloaded to her apple id.
    Good luck.

  • We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail. ???

    We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail, either in the inbox or in the spam folder. Is it possible to bypass the gmail account and send directly to the Apple mail server, spoofing the gmail address?

    Maybe some info here for you about spoofing. (and much additional info)

  • Outlook Calendar items added and deleted at same time

    I have several repeating calendar items (like birthdays) in my Outlook calendar.  When I sync, I find that some are added (that I thought were there before) but some show as added and deleted at the same time to my blackberry... any ideas what may be causing the confusion?

    I find myself with the same issue, I just wiped my computer and began syncing and installing all programs back into laptop,now i have noticed that outlook does not add the some events in my calender, for instance, birthdays , one thing that i have noticed is that it only syncs items that have my work email, my other 2 emails are not being synced and those are my blackberry and personal emails.
    my syncing preferences are made to go both way sync ... what seems to be the problem 
    thanks

    It is a pity though that they desing it to work only if you select the header of the row/column. It should be enabled to work from within any cell in the table.
    Who wrote such an error ?
    These interesting shortcuts behave flawlessly even if the cursor was in D18 for instance.
    (a) I never saw them in the delivered resources.
    (b) they aren't responding to the OP's question which was about "Adding and Deleting Multiple Rows and Columns"

    whenever i try and delete mail, i get a message that I cannot move that message to trash??? any help?

    In my (father's) case, inside the
    Library/Mail/POP-username@serveraddress ,
    there was a "folder" named "Deleted Messages".  The icon was also a standard folder icon.
    Just by renaming it to "Deleted Messages.mbox",
    the icon was changed to a document tray icon,
    and deleting messages started working.

    I turned on my icloud account but suddenly some of my contacts disappeared ... I tried to turn off and delete icloud account but still some of my numbers are unreachable ... Help pls

    Hi Prince,
    OK, so you did turn on PhotoStream on your device. On iCloud.com there is no setting for PhotoStream - it is not needed. PhotoStream only get "turned on" on a device or a computer (in the computer settings - not on the website).
    So, once it is turned on, you take a picture, and it may take a few minutes before you see it in the PhotoStream on your phone. If you take a couple of pics and they don't show up, say within a half an hour, then you might want to do a reset on your phone (press the Home and Power buttons at the same time, and hold them down until the silver Apple appears - you won't lose anything by doing this....) Once it comes back up, you could try a couple more pics, or check the PhotoStream to see if the ones you took previously are there.
    Not sure about the option at the bottom of the Photo App - I think it is a permanent item (like Places - I don't use Places for my photos, but it is there all the same.
    I agree with you that it is a great backup for your photos - especially if you don't regularly sync to a computer. PhotoStream will keep up to 1000 of your photos, so it's good insurance against losing them. Just as a major user of the camera on my iPhone, I would recommend that you do back up to your computer as well. Videos are not saved in PhotoStream, so those would be lost if anything ever happened to your phone and you had not backed up to a computer....
    But don't give up on PhotoStream either - it's not only great for backing up those last 1000 photos, it is also great for sharing between devices (say, if you have an iPad).
    So, give it another try, and if you have any questions, post back!
    Cheers,
