E-mail from Server Monitor question

Before I pay for an upgrade to my Intermapper software for this same functionality, I'd like to see if Server Monitor will do this on its own:
I run a headless X Serve G4 with OS X Server 10.4.6
I think I have set up Server Monitor to e-mail my BlackBerry whenever there is any problem with the machine.
I have it set for the application to send the e-mail on the servers behalf.
I am not running Postfix on the server. It is in fact a mail server but it runs Communigate Pro.
The questions are:
1) Do I have to leave Server Monitor running somewhere for it to actually e-mail me?
2) How can I test the e-mail function without actually causing a failure on the server (since it is a live server, I'd prefer a "test email" button)?
3) Can I change the e-mail function to have the remote server send it even though postfix is off?
I don't leave the server logged in and I don't leave Server Monitor running anywhere looking at the machine since all of my monitoring machines runn with no users logged in.
Thanks,
Chad

Not really a nice situation having to wait for something to fail to see if I actually get a notification. What if not? I hope they just need to rewire a button as many hints in Interface Builder indicate that the functionality is already there.
I have filed the problem on Apple Radar with Bug ID 4477142 on March 14th, 2006. The ticket is still open.
Another idea for triggering an error.
You siad your Xserve was located in a Data Center, so I expect it to have a UPS. If that UPS has a direct data connection to the Xserve you could simply unplug the UPS connection from the wall. That surely will trigger a Power alert. I don't know if just removing the USB cable will be sufficient, but might be worth a try and somehow more comfortable with the service personell.
Anone else running Communigate on an Xserve who has easy physical access to the machine to try this? Maybe also talk to the Communigate People, they might know.

Email notification not working from Server Monitor (for power outages etc.)

I have my email address entered in the notifications fields for power on Server Monitor. I tried pulling the plug (it's on a UPS), which it did notice but it never sent any emails. How do I debug this? Where is the SMTP settings or whatever is needed? Have people gotten the email notifications from Server Monitor to work?

Have you checked your mail filter, maybe the notification got mistakenly marked as spam ?
thank you for your reply! Is this working for you - are you getting notifications? My spam folder doesn't have any of these. Where did you set up the SMTP info for this? I don't see this anywhere. On the web, at
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21298?viewlocale=en_US
it looks like you have to tell it how to send the emails in Message.framework:
The Message.framework looks in two places for a way to send email. The first
is that it looks for an SMTP server configured in the Email tab of Internet
preferences. The other way is to use an email account configured in Mail.
the question is, which user's .plist file for internet preferences or for Mail - which user's info is it using to send the notifications?

Delete mail from server

I use a pop3 account for mail. Can I set up the mail program to delete mail from server when I delete mail locally?

Not precisely. You can set it to delete when when you move a message from the Inbox which should have the same effect in most cases, but I haven't tested it to make sure.
Mail -> Accounts -> Your POP account. Go to the Advanced pane and check the box that says "remove copy from server after retrieving a message" and make the appropriate setting in the pulldown.

Delete mail from server when deleting from mail

I like Mail.
But - the ONE feature I miss from Entourage is this:
Delete mail from server when deleting the trash
Mail can be set to delete messages from the server -- after downloading to the local computer. OK - BUT - I read my email from 3 computers. I want to keep the messages on the server - unless I delete them after trashing - and to read them on 3 computers.
The BEST way is to delete when I trash them -- NOT when I read them.
Using the mail program to see all messages on the server and to then delete them one-by-one is a major PITA.
How can I tell Apple to add this feature?

Use the "When moved from Inbox" option that should do it. If you trash it then it goes, if you move it goes... HTH

The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers. This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs. Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted problem continues

opps. Long title there... The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers. This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs. Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted those. Checked for software update and installed suggested downloads. Problem still contintues. Any suggestions?

Folks,
even after having repaired the inbox folder under "properties" a few times, I still had some e-mails where the contents are different from the subject line.
In other words in the inbox there are two e-mails: one with subject line "abc", and another one with subject line "def".
When I display the e-mail with the subject line "abc", the contents are from the e-mail with the subject line "def" in the in-basket.
What else can be done to correct this problem?
Thanks and best regards.

Removal of mail from server in mail

my Mail program will not remove mail from server when marked to do so in advanced preference settings. I have marked mail to be removed upon retrieval, but the mail sits on the server and builds up until I manually click "remove from server". What to do? Is there an update for 10.3.9 to correct this?

Bob,
Glad my little "0 size" discovery helped you as well!
Here was my post from the other thread that you said helped you out:
Marc, thanks so much for your post. The first time I tried this it did not help, (in fact I deleted quite a few "new" emails with no luck), but then remembered the ctrl-click "Get Info" command on the faulty email account inbox just to see what was going on. . . . .
In the window that shows all the messages that are currently on the server, ALL my mail showed up, which seemed strange that it would not download it even though Mail knew it was there. I noticed, however, under the "size" column that one of the messages had a size of 0 (zero). I deleted that one, clicked "get mail" and it all started downloading! Apparently the first time I tried it I just erased the wrong messages, and managed to miss the one that was causing the problem (because it was not the message immediately after the last one successfully received as Marc suggested).
To everyone else who is having this problem. . . do the "Get Info" command on your inbox that is having the problem and check to see if any of the messages on your server that are not downloading have a file size of "0". This was obviously a glitch on the server side, but at least I know how/where to find which message is causing the backup. Hope this helps!

Get mails from server and put into DB without allocating memory.

Hi all
I have a application that downloads the mails from the mail server and then write them to the DB.
I am using folder.getMessage method to get the mails from server.
is there a way using which I can have a function that acts as a pipe between my server and DB and write the mails without consuming the memory.
(may be something to do with getInputByteStream/getOutputByteStream or getInputStream and setBinaryStream 'preparedStatement interface ')
Thanks

Monitor Tiger Xserve from Server Monitor on Leopard machine?

I can't get my G5 Xserve 10.4.11 to show up in Server Monitor 1.6.1 (2) running on my Mac Pro.
My Intel Xserve 10.5.6 shows up just fine.
In fact the G5 Xserve even shows up in Server Admin but I just get 'Waiting for response' from Server Monitor.
I recently rebuilt the G5 Xserve 10.4.11. I wonder if there is something I forgot to reconfigure after the rebuild?

Sorry, somehow got into the regular 10.5.6 forum was looking at the 10.5.6 Server forum earlier. I will repost.
If there were an admin, I'd ask to have the post moved

I have an imap account and deleted all mail from server. Once doing this all emails from my iPad -which was on a wi-fi- where automatically deleted. Fortunately these emails are still visible on my iPhone that was without connection. If I send all these emails to my iCloud account - they will remain into my outgoing folder until I open my wi-fi- …BUT will they be sent when I open my wi-fi connection, or since they are no longer on my server… be deleted for ever!?

This is how IMAP works, if you delete from one device it will also be deleted in the other devices.
iCloud do not backup e-mails.

IPhone not deleting mail from server

I realise that this appears to be a recurring problem, but I haven't found a post with an outright solution.
The problem I have is with the the 2 POP accounts. the MobileMe account works fine.
On the phone, I have it set to remove mail from server when moved from the inbox. Unfortunately this does not occur and sure enough the mail reappears on my Mac. I've tried setting the 2 accounts on the Mac to mimic the setting on the iPhone (currently the accounts are set to delete right away) but this also does not work.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.

I have Deleted Messages under Advanced set to Never, but do not have anything available to change about Server settings under Incoming settings - just SSL, Authentication, IMAP Path Prefix, and Server Port.
As already provided, this is an IMAP account.
All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account. You can select to store the account's Drafts, Trash, and Sent mailboxes on the server or locally, but the account's Inbox mailbox is stored on the server and cannot be changed.
When deleting a message from the account's Inbox mailbox with an IMAP account, the message is removed from the account's Inbox mailbox on the server and transferred to the account's Trash mailbox. This will be reflected automatically when checking the account's Inbox mailbox with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account since all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
If you have the account's Trash mailbox set to be stored locally, you can try transferring the messages from the account's Trash mailbox back to the account's Inbox mailbox so these messages will be available when accessing the account's Inbox mailbox with the email client on your computer.

How can I create a POP3 account on my iPad for Live Mail which doesn't delete mail from server?

Got a new iPad Air with iOS 7.1.1 tried to create a mail account just like the one on my iPhone 5. I selected 'Other' as mail account which allows me to edit the POP3 and SMTP settings. Think it sends mail ok need to check out receiving BUT there is no longer the option under INCOMING MAIL which says 'Delete from Server' which I have on my iPhone set to 'Never'.
Anyone know how or what settings to use for the iPad?
Thanks

Yes, you're correct this is only for existing users so if you don't have a Gmail account then do as shldr2thewheel suggested.
You'll then be able to link up to your Gmail account in your iPad once done.

Delete mail from server after removed from IN BOX

I have a mail management issue I have not been able to fully solve.
I am balancing the same POP email accounts among the laptop using Mail (for home use) and my desktop using Eudora Pro (for work). Using Eudora, I can manually select to delete a message from the server. Eudora's manual deletions are flawless. Using Mail, the only option I can see that will help me do this is to select delete mail "When moved from In Box." If I hit the "delete" key, wouldn't that be the same as "moving if from the IN BOX?" When is the protocol actually carried out? On the next mail check? Immediately? Upon quitting and restarting Mail? I'm confused as to how this happens and why it does not seem to work all of the time.
Any and all assistance is most appreciated.
Much obliged,
Mick

Yes, deleting a message counts as moving it out of
the inbox. The commands to remove the message from
the server are sent the next time you check mail from
that server, but only if there are new messages to be
received from the server. Yes, many of us feel that
is a bug in Mail, that it should send the remove from
server commands the next time you check mail, whether
or not there are new messages to be downloaded.
Oh Gawd, I bet that's it. Yes, if that is the case, I would agree. It does not lead to efficient mail management if there needs to be a new message there. Do you know of any plans to change or alter that? Or has someone written an AppleScript of some kind to execute the command regardless?
It's a great command, otherwise. It's nice to be able to delete a message off of one computer and have it delete off of the server without any extra hassle.
Just wondering if there are any workarounds out there other than sending oneself a new message to get the delete from server command to activate.
cheers,
Mick

Delete mail from server when removed from inbox

I have a POP e-mail account set up. Under the mail account advanced settings there is an option to delete mail from the server when I delete it from the iPad inbox. I assume this is a valid option for the account since it is shown, and it is what I would like to do. However it doesn't appear to be working. Is this truly an available option?

I also have a POO account wit ph Verizon and experienced the same thing. Apple tech said that is a property of POP accounts and I would have to change the account to Imap for the iPad to be able to delete from the server.

Hello,
Has there been a solotion to this??
My blackberry 9900 would allow me to delete an email on my phone and it would also be deleted on GMAIL.
Now with the new Blackberry OS, I delete an email on my phone and the only action it does on GMAIL is removing it from the inbox, but it still appears in ALL MAIL, so after weeeks of this, there are litreally hundres of emails still in ALL EMAIL that i thought I had deleted already.
It's a matter of tweaking your Gmail settings to have the email go to Gmail Trash instead of All Mail. The article at this link has the clearest desription I've seen.. This is working for me.
