C3 - automatic e-mail checks fail

My C3 is supposed to check my e-mail automatically, and send me a notification if there is any mail. However, this doesn't work. No automatic checking, no notifications. I tried everything: sounds are on, battery is fully loaded, memory is available, settings for e-mail checks are 00:00 to 00:00, very fast loading of e-mails...
Manual loading works OK, but I want automatic loading!
I did a hardware reset, reloaded the software, no effect. What else can I do? Please help!
Solved!

Hi,
I think you need to check your account settings :
option - > More -> Account settings ->
-update my inbox =manually /FAst / Very fast
-Alert me for new mail = on/off
_alert me only during 00.00-00.00 Better on midnight to midnight
I hope this helps

[Solved] postfix local mail delivery fails

Hi Guys,
on my home pc i use postfix (gmail as a smtp relay) and fetchmail for sending/receiving mails, this works very well, however sending a mail to a local user fails, I'm lost here and need your help guys.
if i send a mail like :
$>echo "Test" | mail -s "Test : local mail delivery" "andy"
The mail stays in the queue for ever...
$>mailq
-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------

# SOFT BOUNCE
# The soft_bounce parameter provides a limited safety net for

# delivery agent for local delivery. You need to update the
# local_recipient_maps setting if:
# - You define $mydestination domain recipients in files other than
# /etc/passwd, /etc/aliases, or the $virtual_alias_maps files.
# For example, you define $mydestination domain recipients in
# the $virtual_mailbox_maps files.
# - You redefine the local delivery agent in master.cf.
# - You redefine the "local_transport" setting in main.cf.
# - You use the "luser_relay", "mailbox_transport", or "fallback_transport"
# feature of the Postfix local delivery agent (see local(8)).
# Details are described in the LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README file.

I have solved it, and this was the problem (main.cf) message_size_limit = 0 i have set this to unlimited "0" so bigger mails not get rejected by postfix, the defualt value was 10240000 (~10 Mb) after finally checking the postfix log with journalctl -u postfix (because /var/log/mail.log) is not used anymore i found this line : "fatal: main.cf configuration error: mailbox_size_limit is smaller than message_size_limit" after setting mailbox_size_limit to unlimited "0" postfix starts to delivery local mail.

Hi
When reply to some " Not All" incomming mails in GW8 wbacsess i got this error message: "Spell check failed: undefined".
And i am not able to send the answer, i have to go to option and remove the cross for Check spelling before send .

I was looking for an option to turn this off automatically. But couldn't find it.
Basically, if you have the spell check turned on and you attempt to reply, you get the Highlight Color, Resume Editing, and Finish and Send options below the subject, but Finish and Edit just circles back to spell check, and you can't send the mail.
I have noticed that there is no way to pick the default language in the spell check options, so I assume it can't find the dictionaries, or they are not there.
I did check the novell\groupwise\webacc directory and there is a dictionary directory there.
I will do another install, of just copying the files over, and see if that helps. Maybe something didn't copy the first time.
But, does anyone know what the default directory structure should be and does someone have a webacc.cfg file with the correct setting?
Thanks

Yosemite mac mail drowning in mail delivery failed messages I didn't send!

babs bellNov 14, 2014 7:03 PM
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I am getting hundreds (tens of thousands this week!) emails that read:
From: Mail Delivery System
Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender
But I didn't send any of the emails! I've spent this entire week deleting them, working on phone with my server who claims to have fixed it (NOT!), and 5 hours on phone support with Apple today. Still happening. There must be a setting that is screwed up in Yosemite, eh? Who can help me? Using Mac Mail on Mac Book Pro. I'm drowning here! GLUG. Thanks!
Edit

Did all of that with Apple and they nor my server thought this was the problem, nor did they get it resolved. I'm wondering if there's a rule in Mail preferences that I accidentally deleted that could be the cause. There were two rules and neither made any sense to me but as soon as I deleted the first one, I realized I probably shouldn't have. And there's been a huge problem since...not sure that's why but I must find the resolution. I did have genieo somehow installed so Apple got it uninstalled and did tons of things to my system to clean this and that. BUT the problem remains. If you use mac mail and Yosemite, can you check the two rules that automatically were in the mail preferences window to tell me what rule I deleted? Thank you so very much!

Mail checks email fine all day, then "loses connection."

I recently upgraded to Tiger, and I'm having an odd problem with mail. After a fresh restart, Mail will automatically check all my boxes (6 POP accts) just fine for quite a while (a whole day, eg.) but then, invariably, something will happen that results in the program being unable to connect with any of my accounts. Restarting the computer always fixes this problem. But I'm getting sick of restarting the computer every day -- I'm used to restarting it once a week at most.
Anyone have any experience with a problem like this?

Hi, thanks for the initial suggestions. I've changed the settings to check mail every 5 mins instead of every min. Maybe it's a matter of hitting my POP servers too often? All my email hosting is through GoDaddy.
As far as Network port settings, I don't think it's a connectivity problem. Every time this has happened, all my other Internet connections continued to work fine. It's just that mail suddenly fails to connect to my POP accounts for no discernable reason. Closing and relaunching Mail doesn't resolve the issue; the only fix seems to be to restart the computer entirely. Upon restart, Mail once again connects to all POP accounts just fine.
When (if) it fails again, I'll post the specific error messages I get in the Connection Doctor. Maybe that will shed some light.
Thank you!

EMC - Certificate status could not be determined because revocation check failed.

I've exhausted my resources on this issue and am reaching out for some assistance. I have setup Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1, running Exchange 2010 SP1. In EMC I have successfully imported a GoDaddy SSL certificate. Although I am receiving the message -
"The certificate status could not be determined because the revocation check failed."
Here are the steps I've taken to troubleshoot this so far:
[PS] C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>netsh winhttp show proxy
Current WinHTTP proxy settings:
Direct access (no proxy server).
As you can see, direct access. Which is true, no proxy's on this network.
For good measure, I'll dump the urlcache.
certutil -urlcache ocsp delete
certutil -urlcache crl delete
Both return 0, reboot server.
Comes back up, same message in EMC.
From PS, I test exactly what its getting from GoDaddy.

Second display control & E-mail checking

Anyone got this feature to work. If I try to initiate mail checking from the start menu, all programs, second display control, mail checking after filling in the panel it fails with a "failed to connect" message. Can find no help info for this feature. Anyone tried it with any success?

Fair enough, then how do I close out that last E-Mail from being displayed, without closing out the program?

Automatic SMS/Mail notification for local auto-reaction method

Hello!
We would like to be informed via SMS/Mail about the Availability of satellite system.
When we assign a Local auto-reaction method for this MTE (Availability_SysPercent_ABAP) we receive the SMS/Mail notification only in case we manually start the auto reaction method from RZ20.
When we try to assign the central auto reaction method from RZ20 we get the following error:
Assignment for local system only works with nodes from agent segments
What is the procedure for the automatic SMS/Mail notification in case of local auto-reaction method?
Thank you very much!

Dear Team,
As I have understood, you want to be informed each time a satellite system is not up and running ?
Option 01
========
1. Install the CCSMPING agent in SOLMAN
2. Create your satellites systems through RZ21 - Technical Infrastructure - Availability Monitoring - Configure CCMSPING ...
    Create all satelittes systems ...
3. Then, from SOLMAN_WORCENTER, in SYSTEM Monitoring, you have the status of each satellites systems created
    in RZ21 (point 2).
This option will not advised when a satellite system is down. But from one WEB page, you will have the status of all satellites systems.
Option 02
========
1.Install the CCSMPING agent in SOLMAN
2. Create your satellites systems through RZ21 - Technical Infrastructure - Availability Monitoring - Configure CCMSPING ...
    Create all satellites systems.
3. RZ20 - SAP CCMS Monitor Templates - Double-click on "Availability and Performance Overview"
    Open "Availability" - Then, all satellites systems which have been added under point 2 will appear.
4. Select one satelitte system
5. Open "Availability"
6. Select "ABAP: Checked by CCMSPING.<solman-hostname>.00"
7. When selected, click on "Properties" button.
8. Then, you assign here an auto-reaction method - for example :
    "ccms_send_alert_to_alm_ccms_containerv4".
9. Copy this method to Zccms_send_alert_to_alm_ccms_containerv4.
10. In this method, add you email address.
11. Then, check that job "SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_DP is running. This job collects data in the CCCMS (RZ20).
12. Then, the alert will be automatically sends to your email adress.
Hope it helps ?
Best regards

Mail upgrade failed: osx lion

I have a Macbook pro 17 intel dual core.
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion and I have encountered the following problem.
Mail begins the importing of messages and once the import is complete it moves to the migrating data step
"MAIL UPGRADE FAILED"
An error occured during the upgrade. Click continue to launch the Mail Import Assistant, which will help you create a new library and import your existing messages"
When I click "Continue", the following message appears
Your Mail index has been damaged. To repair it, quit Mail.
Mail will repair the index the next time you open Mail. Your mailboxes and messages will be preserved.
But of course, Mail doesn't repair itself the next time it is opened....this just continues to happen.
Any help? I have read threads that suggesting deleting Mail preferences can help. Interestingly, I can't find mail preferences in the library folder

I fixed my issue, though it took hours of trial and error.
First, check Console (Applications/Utilities/Console) and click on All Messages in the left sidebar.   I had a message about permission denied to copy a file during the upgrade. I manually moved that file to the desktop. After that the message migration finished, and Mail launched. Hurray I thought! But on reboot, Mail would not launch. It just hung. This time there weren't any helpful messages in Console to be found.
I read over these threads for the tips:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3189986?start=0&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15666804#15666804
As best I can remember (it's been a long night), this was my process:
(Force) Quit Mail
Navigate to userI/Library/Mail folder
Move the entire Mail folder elsewhere, like your desktop
Launch Mail. At this point it should be be prompting you for info.
If you don't have anything on your machine only, just put in your info and download everything from your server from scratch. You're done!   If however you have my problem with 164,000 messages stored locally, read on…
Quit Mail
Back in user/Library there's a new Mail folder.
One by one, move the items from the old Mail folder to the new one and launch Mail. Make sure to move the user/library/mail/v2/maildata/accounts.plist first so it stops prompting you for account info. Make sure to quit Mail between every file move. If you don't see a v2 folder, or a v2-temp folder, it means the migration hasn't happened yet. Just keep moving things over until it does, cause the migration changes the directory structure of the Mail folder.
At the point you move your old archived messages over, the next Launch Apple will import and migrate all the messages. This can take anywhere from 2 minutes to 45 depending on how many messages it needs to cull through.
I ended up moving everything but the RSS folder items back, and Mail is once again stable.
At some point I also booted into Lion Recovery partition (hold Command + R at boot) and ran Disk Utility to repair permissions. However I don't believe that actually helped.
Good Luck!

Automatic e-mails archiving in UCM

Hello,
I am trying to get some information about this topics:
Is there any possibility for automatic e-mail archiving in UCM in the context of using the Desktop Integration Suite?
For example: automatic archiving of all e-mails that are older than 10 days
or other archiving criteria: - automatic archiving of all e-mails bigger than 10 MB
- automatic archiving of the e-mails by the existence of only 10% of the emailbox capacity
- automatic archiving of the e-mails if the users are out of office
Is there any possibility to access the emails that are archived into the UCM through the Outlook Web Access?
Is there any possibility to reduce the load on the Exchange Server by moving received e-mails to the UCM ?
Many thanks in advance

Hey Kunst,
I could not get you when you say *"emails that are archived into the UCM through the Outlook Web Access?"*
do you mean emails that are checked in UCM. In this case it might be possible to do it.
Is there any possibility to reduce the load on the Exchange Server by moving received e-mails to the UCM ?
For this you will need to write your custom SMTP server which can directly check in e-mails in UCM from SOAP interface.

Userid/Password intermittmently lost when automatically getting mail

The automatic "Get mail" intermittently loses the "remember me" and prompts for the password. What would cause it to lose the remembered password?

I have had this problem occasionally in the past and there are a number of related posts (with suggested solutions) on this forum. What worked for me was to open Keychain Access, select the login keychain, then open the Edit -> Change Settings for Keychain "login" window and either uncheck the "lock after xx minutes" setting or set it to xx minutes where xx is longer than the period you selected for "check for new messages" in Mail preferences. I also use a different password for my keychain (different from my login password so I know this complicates things somewhat).

Filesystem check failed on boot

Hi,
Recently I reinstalled Arch Linux on my laptop (Dell Studio 1737) due to bloating and pacman generally being pretty borked.
For the first few boots it was fine - I installed xorg and xfce, then ran a Pacman -Syu. However, when I reboot, I get the following:
root: clean, XXXX/XXXXXX files, XXXX/XXXXXX blocks
home: clean, XXXX/XXXXXX files, XXXX/XXXXXX blocks
var: clean, XXXX/XXXXXX files, XXXX/XXXXXX blocks
/dev/sda6 is mounted. e2fsck: cannot continue, aborting.
FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED
Please repair manually and reboot. Note that the root file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it read-write type: mount -o remount,rw /
When you exit the maintenance shell the system will reboot automatically.
I have tried removing mtab, fsck (despite it saying the filesystem is mounted, even when umount says it is not), among other "fixes"
My current setup is
/dev/sda2: /
/dev/sda3: swap
/dev/sda4: /home
/dev/sda5: /var
/dev/sda6: /usr (this is where the problem occurs)
Can anybody help?
Thanks,
Sam

Filesystem check failed

Today I upgrade the kernel to 2.6.19,but when I reboot it,I get such information:
/dev/sda3
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else). then the superblock
is corrupt,and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
[FAIL]
*********************FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED **************

Press enter for maintenance
(or type Control D to continue)
[root@(none)~]# cd /
[root@(none) /]# mount -n -o remount,rw /
mount:invalid option -n
[root@(none) /]# _
The above information is from my vmware-station,and in my own linux system I got the same,what should I do?
Can I use a livecd to mkinitcpio to rescue the system?

I just realized that now the file system error happens before udev has even started and then it drops me into maintenence mode... I can't do e2fsck or mkfs.ext3 -n /dev/sda7 because the corresponding device node doesn't exist yet... The only nodes were console, null, and a third one but I forget...
My grub and fstab seem to be correct (I just verified and they worked before)... Any help please (having the /dev/sda7 node would be nice as I can't do anything without it)? I'm using an Intel chipset and I've tried various combinations of pata/ide/piix/etc in my mkinitcpio.conf (and generated the images of course)...
I'm still searching through gentoo forums (I've tried everything I could find in arch forums) -- The partition seems also to be intact as it is accessible to me with livecd (I even chrooted and pacman -Syu) and through ext2ifs w/ vi on my Windows 2003 partition...
Thanks

"FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED" after pacman -Syu

Hi all,
After a sucessfull 'pacman -Syu' (in which i didnt see any 'todo' messages but it did have a kernel upgrade) archlinux cannot start and i just get to a message similar talking about my root partition (ext3):
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:

* filesystem is currently mounted read-only. To remount *
* it read-write type: mount -n -o remount,rw / *
* When you exit the mantenance shel the system will *
* reboot automatically. *
I restarted with a livecd and 'e2fscked' the partition (which btw found many errors that were corrected by it) but archlinux still gives me the same message. I have checked the partition again and again a thousand times but it always comes up clean, im even able to mount it from the different livecds i have tried and can read and create files on it so im pretty sure it is fine.
And so my question is, does anyone know why this is happening? How comes archlinux keeps seeing a problem in this partition when others dont? What am i doing wrong?
An y answer appreciated.

Hi again,
I have done some testing, maybe it will help.
After the failure message i put roots password and i got dropped to a shell, if i try to find the root partition (eg. ls /dev/sda) gives an error cause it sda doesnt exists.
If i edit rc.sysinit with a livecd and remove the fsck part i get a few diferent errors, some about partitions not being found and similar stuff. In my little knowledge of linux it ooks to me like it doesnt load the sata module or somethig...
I copy here the pacman.log file, i remember that the update was a huge one, around 400 Mbytes if i remember correctly:
