Deleting a Wiki Server Mail entry

We had a case of some spam getting into our wiki mailing list archive and we would like to remove the posting.
What's the friendliest way of removing items from the mailing list archive for the wiki server?

Hi Jeremy,
A procedure that works for me is described here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6085590&#6085590
Instead of deleting the entire folder delete the offending messages by their IDs then rebuild the index.
HTH,

"Delete messages from server" Mail iPhone 5

Hi, I am trying to locate "delete messages from server" option in Mail Settings on iPhone 5 and can't find it. In iPhone 4 it was just in the Advanced settings but it is not there in iPhone 5. Help please? Thanks

Not sure who your email provider is. Mine is hotmail. When you set up email with hotmail on an iPhone 4 the delete from server never is available. I just got an iPhone 5, i reset up my hot mail account and can't find that setting either. I set it up by using the hotmail button not "other" so meaning delete your hotmail account from your phone. Then re set it up. But when you do add email account, don't use the button that says hotmail. Use the bottom choice that says "other". I have no idea why this is different but if you do this it will set up hotmail just the same. But now that setting is there. The "delete from server" and you set it to "never". Now when you delete the emails from your hot mail account on the iPhone, it leaves that email on the hotmail server. So when you look at email on the computer it's there still. It's good this way if you share email with someone.

Automatic deletion of doubled e-mail entries?

I've got a laptop running now, along with the tower, and I'm getting two copies of a lot of my e-mail.
Is there a way to do an automated deletion of all the repeat copies?

Guide to Wiki Server 3?

I've tried to find information on what Wiki Server 3 (WS3) can actually do. It would be the only reason for me to upgrade to Lion Server. I'm trying to make the decision of going with MediaWiki, or WS3, and while I'm quite sure that WS3 will be easier to install and setup, I can't seem to find any information on how it is to use or manage, so I can make sure it fits my needs?
Can anyone provide me with links?
I will only use it for private information at first, limited to two users, and then later open it up for more. It should also be capable to run two different seperate instances, so I can have two seperate wikis. I have no experience in either Ruby on rails, or PHP/mySQL, so I'm also looking for the easiest solution to maintain (Although I'm absolutely not afraid of reading up on stuff - I just prefer not to have to learn a new language or two, just for a wiki, if possible).

If you want to run wikis for a couple users the Lion wiki server is easy to use and you can establish several wiki pages. We've been using Wikis on our home Mac Mini Server for a couple years and hvae several wikis to assign different permissions - one the kids can write, one the kids are just read-only... They've been quite helpful. And maintaining them if carefree - I've had NO problems. And if by maintaining you meant publishing content, that's fine too (although not completely flexible).
Having upgraded from 10.6 to 10.7 this fall, I will say that I preferred the 10.6 Snow Leopard Wiki over the new implementation, for example it offered several templates for customizing the Wiki look, editing CSS.., but those are gone now. Oh well, progress???
Regarding manuals for Lion Server I've only seen the online manauls. Snow Leopard Server had a much more comprehensive set of manuals so you may learn more about the wiki reading them than anything available for Lion (of course Lion and SL have many differences http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/WikiServerAdmin_v10.6.pdf
If you haven't run Mac Server before, there will probably be some learning curve pain involved, but we find it useful to run as a File Server (files, music, photos, videos), Time Machine Backup Server, WIki Server Mail Server, Mobile Home Accounts, and we'll even log directly into the server and use it as a desktop (but there are some tricks for using an account both locally and over the network). If you have some of these broader needs consider implementing Mac Server. If you just ned the wiki, implementing another wiki product may offer

Wiki Server 3: What is API URL for AtomPub/MetaWeblog?

Previously (OS X Server 10.6), AtomPub/MetaWeblog editors could connect to Wiki Server using the API access point http://example.com/RPC2 (Command Line, Ecto/Marsedit)
Now (OS X Server 10.7), attempts to hit /RPC2 are resulting in a 404 response. I've so far been unable to track down where the API access point has moved to, and didn't have any luck flailing around at other likely candidates (thanks, ecto list of common XML-RPC endpoints!)
Does anyone know where Lion Server puts the XML-RPC access point?

How to delete old unused blog tags from Wiki Server 3 in Lion Server

My Tags index in my Wiki Server 3 wiki (Lion Server) still shows old tags that are no longer in use.
But, how in the world does one remove them?
Any help?   Thanks.

I figured it out, but had one hoop to jump through.   I hadn't noticed a tiny little edit button in the far upper right corner of the tags window.   Clicking it reveals red minus signs next to each tag. That's how to delete a tag.
BUT, since my tags were no longer in use (I'd deleted the original blog(s) they were attached to, when I tried deleting them I got an error message.   So, I created a dummy blog entry, tagged it with the same tags that I want to delete, saved the blog, then went back to the all-tags view and deleted them (they existed this time). After done, I deleted the temporary blog.   All done.
It seems clear that the WIki 3 Server is very primative in many ways. I hope Mountain Lion reveals a host of improvements.

How to to stop iPad mail from deleting email from server?

To stop this?

Then you are both talking rubbish. IMAP is designed for multiple client access to the same inbox, and requires either POP3 collection, or explicit deletion from the server, to remove an email.
IMAP deletion should NEVER delete from the server, if you choose not to do so. I have a netbook and a desktop PC using the same inbox. The Netbook uses IMAP, the desktop PC uses POP3. I can delete a message from the Netbook, and it leaves the email on the server, for the desktop PC to collect via POP3.
From Wikipedia "E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them."
The way the iPad is handling it, is wrong... but then again, this is Apple we're talking about. They will no doubt patent this incorrect behaviour, and market it as a "new invention".

Can't delete a blog comment from Lion Wiki Server 3

Started the Wiki Server on my Lion Server today and as a test I added a test comment to a blog. After I saved it I wanted to see if I could edit, change the content or just delete the comment outright. The answer to all three is that I can't. I am logged in as the owner the wiki and the administrator for the server. I looked at the documentation and it appears that I should be able to do all three, but no luck. Any help would be apprciated.

You'll get a lot more help if you go to the Lion Server forum. The folks here mainly know about the client OS.

Wiki Server: how to change who "From" field in Mail

I have Mail set up to receive an RSS feed from our Wiki Server and in the "From" field it comes up as "Workgroup: Search Results."
Is there any way to change this, say to "Workgroup Intranet"?

Update mail entries in Directory server 5.2

Hi All,
we have a request of updating mail addresses.. that to only after @. our server have around 650000 entries.
One solution we are thinking of is exporting the database... changing the entries and importing again
Can any one help me with any simple solution for this? or any script?
Thanks
Sridhar

Assuming you take the approach of exporting and importing and you are changing all mail entries to the same new domain name and you are using the standard "mail" attribute you could do the following:
Export your data to LDIF. Say for example you call the LDIF file "old.ldif". Then run the following sed command:
sed 's/^mail:\ \(.*\)@\(.*\)/mail:\ \[email protected]/g' old.ldif > new.ldifThe "new.ldif" file will have all the email addresses with "@newdomain.com" in them. You could then import new.ldif.
As etst123 mentioned if you are in a replicated environment you may then have to re-initialize your consumers after your import even if your initial export included replica information.
One other thing. If you have static mail groups with users that have the old domain you will need to modify those as well.

Mail 7.0 continually re-enables "Store deleted messages on server"

I have to say that I am beyond frustrated with the way Mail 7.0 keeps checking the box to "Store deleted messages on server" for my outlook.com IMAP email account. I have searched for hours on the web for a solution and nothing has worked for me.
The effect of this is when I delete a message in the Mail app on my MacBook Pro, the message remains on the server and appears Mail on my other IOS devices (IPhone, IPad) and in other email application (Outlook 2011). However, deleting a message on another IOS device, via another email application or through the web works as expected.
-I have unchecked the "Store deleted messages on server" box and it magically checks itself again
-I have deleted and added the outlook.com account back to Mail
-I have deleted the com.apple.mail.plist file
-I have scoured the outlook.com settings on the website for a solution to no avail
Does anyone know what the h*** is going on and why Mail keeps changing this setting back?

One problem jumps out at me right away, when you close your folder, you specify false, change this to true and that should delete all the messages on the server that were marked as DELETE:
in the last few lines, change:
folder.close(false);
to:
folder.close(true);
you will still need to use:
message.setFlag(Flags.Flag.DELETED,true);
to set the flag of the messages you wish to delete.

Mail: Delete message on server when I delete it in Mail

Dear all,
I just recently switched from Windows to Mac and especially from MS Outlook to Mail. In Outlook I can tell it to only delete a message on the server when I delete it in Outlook. This is very helpful, so that when I use WebMail I do not see all the junk mail messages and other emails I deleted. Now in Mail I do not seem to be able to do this. Any ideas ?
Thanks,

Go to Preferences, Accounts. Select the account you wish to configure. Click the Advanced Pane. Make sure the checkbox is checked for 'Remove copy from server after retrieving a message'. In the drop down just below that, choose 'When moved from Inbox'. This will let you retrieve a copy of the messages to your Mac, leaving a copy on the server. As long as you leave the message in your Inbox, the copy will stay on the server. If you then delete your local copy, or move it out of the Inbox, the next time you retrieve new messages from the server, the messages you have moved will be deleted from the server. The key is that there has to be at least one new message to retrieve. This works for me most of the time, since by the time I process the messages I already have, and then check for new messages, there usually are new messages. If you have a mail account that is not that active, or you just want to remove the most recent messages from the server, use the Get Info method above.

When I delete domething on Mac Mail it automatically deletes it on my Yahoo server. Why and how can I get it left on the server?

When I delete something on Mac Mail it automatically is deleted on the Yahoo server. Why and how can I stop this happening and leave it on the server?

I believe that that is how IMAP accounts are designed to work, if you delete an email from a computer or device then it will be deleted from the server. If possible you could try setting up the account as a POP account in the Mail program and you should then get a 'remove copy from server' tickbox (which will need to be unticked) on the account's Advanced tab in Mail > Preferences.
I've asked for this post to be moved to the Mountain Lion forum, this is the iPad forum.

TS3899 How do I prevent mail from deleting on the server after deleting on the phone?

When I delete mail from my iphone when using apple mail, the e-mail deletes on my phone but remains on my computer. When my co-worker deletes mail from her iphone it is getting deleted from her work computer (and the server). I have compared settings on our phone and everything appears the same. How do we stop mail from deleting from the server when she deletes mail from her phone?
Thanks!

POP or IMAP?
With POP, this is the conventional way to use it. You download messages and doing so deletes them. Alternatively you can arrange to leave copies on the server for other email clients to be able to see them. The setting to do this can be found under '''Tools|Account Settings|{select account}|Server Settings'''.
With IMAP, you're supposed to store messages on the server. If you want to remove them from the server, move them to the Local Folders account in Thunderbird.
