Fetchmail (or something similar) on Mac OS X Server

I would like to have Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 (with its standard Mail Services) fetch emails from remote POP3 accounts and put them into users' local email accounts on my server (from where they will be accessed through IMAP), basically like what fetchmail or the POP3 Connector in Microsoft Exchange Server does. How do I do this? As far as I know, this is not possible using the standard GUI tools.

This program just forwards all email from POP3
accounts to SMTP. That would work fine, except it
needs a user to be logged in on the server.
<daft workaround mode> Well, if you are concerned about leaving the server 'open' you could always create a second user account on the server (in Preferences: Accounts NOT workgroup manager), make it a non-admin and enforce "simple" finder (which hides all disks etc and allows only specified apps). Log out serveradmin and log in as new account. The server will quite happily carry on behind the scenes.
<more workarounds mode> Set up Mail with the pop accounts, set a rule by 'account' which simply redirects (not forwards) mail to the relevant iMap accounts.
I've no idea whether it would work in reality - just seemed a simple, grungy 'workaround'

  • Dazzle or something similar for mac?

    I need a device that will allow me to connect a VCR to my mac for Final Cut to do capture. Will Dazzle work? Is there a mac solution?

    Dazzle used to have a product called DV-Bridge that had excellent reviews but it has been discontinued. A really good option is the Canopus ADVC110. It does the analog capture thing quite well. It is a firewire unit and integrates seamlessly with FCP.

  • But I can't find something similar in the printer setup under Mac OS. Any idea?

    Got a problem with connecting my daughter's Macbook to a HP printer in the LAN at home. For PC running on Win7, I can specify the printer's TCP/IP port under printer setup to establish the LAN connection. But I can't find something similar in the printer setup under Mac OS. Any ideas? Thanks

    It looks like the developer's of that app, or Apple, have got the wrong search name for it in the store - you could try contacting the developer and pointing it out to them so that they can get it corrected. Currently it looks like you can only find the app either by using the link (as you've included in your post), or by searching for the developer's name (Page Foundry Inc) in the store.
    For searching the store, when you search for something then the first result(s) should be those whose title matches what you searched for - so if you search for 'ebook reader' then as there is an app with that exact name it will be first in the results, other apps will then be listed after it.

    2011 MacBook Pro, 64 bit i7 quad core, upgraded to Lion OSx, Bootcamp installed with Windows 7, wanting to install Windows 8 (don't ask), tried downloading/installing bootcamp 5.0.5033 (both on the mac/windows partitions (actually using a parallel to run Windows)), error message something similar to bootcamp doesn't support this Windows
    So the question is am I doing something wrong? Should I just try and install windows 8 through my windows 7 partition and see if I can use the bootcamp 5.05033. Or do I solely have to use the bootcamp to install Windows 8? I'm not too familiar with bootcamp and how it runs.

    if you're using parallels and full bootcamp then you're making it 100% more troublesome for youself then it needs to be
    bootcamp is running windows directly on the hardware this give full memory and cpu and 3d video game power
    running windows in parallels is running a virtual machine where one can't run powerful games and the like but one can have it in a window and change fast between osx and windows
    parallels as the only virutal machine (as far as I know) support not have the operating system as a file on the osx harddisk but can access a bootcamp parition as virtual machine but without the benefits bootcamps provides
    it's a service parallels provide for those who want both to play games in normal bootcamp and sometimes use windows in a virutal machine
    just install it like a normal virtual machine and you need not worry about bootcamp drivers and the likes
    plus it would mean that the windows part would be a part of the timemachine bacup of osx
    which it is not when it's in bootcamp

  • How do I use 'Terminal' or something similar to Tether my Galaxy Phone

    How do I use 'Terminal' or something similar to Tether my Galaxy [Note 1] Phone to my Macbook Pro in such a way that the Android phone gets my mac on the internet.
    If it's possible for FREE then I can probably do that.
    I try using the "Play" Store icon on the phone & it says 'No connection'. 
    Having a Macbook and not get internet is VERY frustrating.
    TIA.

    If the phone has a Wi-Fi tethering mode, it should appear in the Wi-Fi menu on your Mac as a wireless network.

  • Something similar to "System Restore"?

    Is there something on the Mac that is similar to Windows' System Restore?

    Not quite the same, but similar options are available.
    The Mac OS X install disk has a choice to "Archive and Install". This will install a fresh copy of the OS while saving your personal info and data. Here's a link...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    Also, third-party utilities can allow you to "clone" your hard drive, most often to an external drive or perhaps to a disk image on the internal drive. You could then restore, or start up from, this clone. A utility called SuperDuper might be worth a look along with similar offerings.

  • I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation.  I have a dell computer at home that has clip art available on it for putting pictures into documents.  Do I need to install an APP to get something similar to clip art?

    I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation.  I have a desktop computer at home that has clip art loaded onto it.  I recently got an iPad and am looking for something similar.  I assume I need to get an APP for it, and if that is correct, does anyone have one that they like?

    Sort of.  There is an app called art shop that gives you a place to park clip art.   But I don't think you really need it. 
    If you have a collection of clip art you want available, move it to the camera roll on your pad/ phone, then copy paste into your document the clip you want.
    You can get them into the camaera roll by putting them in a single event in your picture library and syncing them over,  or e mail them to your self, and save to the camera roll, or send them to drop box, and bring them down that way.
    The challenge is getting them all in one place to make it easy for you to find, which is why syncing might be the best approach in the long run.
    As near as I can tell there is not a ready made clip art collection in app format laying around.

  • Ntrights.exe Windows 2008 R2 Resource Kit Tool? Does it exist or is there something similar I can use?

    I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard as a DC
    I am trying to add users/groups to the following local policies through a GPO, however I need to script it out using something similar to ntrights.exe. I do not want to do it through the GUI because this is going to be a re-occurring process.
    Below are the policies I am trying to configure via some kind of command prompt. I do not think I can do this with PowerShell 2.0 even with the import-module grouppolicy cmdlets.
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Allow log on locally
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Debug programs
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Force shutdown from a remote system
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Shut down the system
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Change the system time
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Allow logon through Remote Desktop Services
    Would it be safe to copy the Windows Server 2003 ntrights.exe resource kit tool and try it on Windows Server 2008 R2? I am working on a virtual test lab environment so I can actually take a snapshot before hand but wanted your expert thoughts on it first.
    Thank you in advance.

    I found the solution.....You can actually use "quoted" host names in the templates instead of the SIDs. Make sure that for Domain User Accounts you specify the Domain prefix. For Local User accounts you can just specify the local user name.
    The filename of the template that I made is LOCAL_SEC_TEMPLATE.inf
    Here's what's inside that LOCAL_SEC_TEMPLATE.inf template:
    [Unicode]
    Unicode=yes
    [Registry Values]
    [Privilege Rights]
    SeInteractiveLogonRight = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins"
    SeDebugPrivilege = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins"
    SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins"
    SeSystemtimePrivilege = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins","LOCAL SERVICE"
    SeShutdownPrivilege = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins"
    SeRemoteInteractiveLogonRight = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins","Remote Desktop Users"

  • How to make something similar in 3d? (tv graphics, no only compositing topic!))

    Hi, I am aware that this is community for After Effects, and also this example contains some objects probably maded in some 3D programs, but I want to hear opinion form an expert how exampes below are did:
    These are examples from one tv station i Europe:
    I am curious how it is made:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBrQ7krzrVw (please watch only begin and the end of this video)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9pU_XIJQqA (especially from very end of video clip-cubes)
    I want to know way how to make something similar and how to composite them like this way?
    Any links related to tutorials, links for similar techniques (c4d, max...?)
    What is your opinion about modeling this scene?
    Thank you!

    It will probably take some 3-D modeling.  Bringing it into AE, I will point you to Andrew Kramer's Element 3D plugin - http://www.videocopilot.net/ 
    He has one demo that is doing a very similar effect -- http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/element_animation_engine/

  • How can I do something similar with Lightroom

    With the combination of the Editor of "Photoshop Elements" (PSE) and of the KODAK SHO Professional Plugin (which runs as a "filter"-plugin in the PSE Editor environment), I can often fixd photos which-
    - have both bright and dark portions
    - and which show poorly details in the bright portions.
    But (probablay because I have not sufficient LR expertise), I do not understand how to achieve similar results (or: better results) with Lightroom.
    Is an experienced LR user aware of a relatively ***simple*** way to achieve something similar (or, even  to achieve better results) with LR and is willing to explain her/his solution to me? Thanks very much in advance for it.
    Now, I need to explain in detail, with one concrete example, what I can do with the combination of PSE and KODAK SHO.
    A concrete example of a Photo that I need to edit follows (continuation of the description of my problem/questions follows in the next Post).

    The Fill Light slider brings the shadows up and the Recovery slider brings the highlights down.
    Also, in LR3 the Curves is different from LR 2 in  so far as you now can pull up or down both ends of the curve vertically. This was not possible in LR 2.
    Grab the little circle at the left / bottom end of the curve and pull it up vertically. That will lighten your blacks / shadows. Grab the little circle at the right / top end of the curve tool and pull it down. That will darken your highlights. This process will make your image look a bit flat; if so, increase contrast by giving the curve a gentle S-form.
    Directly below the curves tool you have the option to choose between "linear', "medium contrast', or "strong contrast'. If you choose one of the latter two, the end points of the curve will snap back to zero but the curve will have a curve (no pun).
    Also, in case your image does not have enough contrast, instead of using the contrast slider, you can pull the end points of the curve horizontally.
    Apart from these image-wide changes you can make local changes with the adjustment brush or with graduated filter. I often use the gard filter to give a little "ooomph" to the sky by setting exposure (for the grad filter) to -0.66. Similarly you can lighten the shadows with a grad filter by giving it an + exposure and/or increasing brightness. Make sure that the grad filter doesn't give you a color toning - unless you want it. With a color toning you can make your shadows less blue (by choosing yellow toning) and your sky more blue (by choosing a blue toning). Naturally you'd need 2 different grad filters for that; you can't have 2 different settings in one grad filter.

  • Dark area on screen, looks like smudge, anyone else seen something similar?

    Hi,
    I got a new 16GB white 3G yesterday and love it!
    It's been a long wait for us here in Sweden, but now the iPhone is finally here.
    Just one problem: I have a small area of the screen that is visibly darker than the rest. It is situated about one inch from the top edge, and in the middle "horizontally". It is about 5 - 6 m.m. in diameter and resembles a smudge, but it is not possible to whipe it away, and it also looks a bit different from different angles.
    It does not look like totally dead pixels since they just seem to be slightly darker than the surrounding areas. Possibly a smudge on the inside of the glass perhaps?
    It is mostly visible on light gray backgrounds, and when scrolling lists (e.g. of text) since then it appears and disappears as the list is being scrolled (it is not clearly visible if there is text on it).
    I know I should go back to the store to have them check, but I just thought I'd ask here first if anyone else has seen something similar?
    I might also wait a while to see if it changes, right now it is a bit difficult to see sometimes and I don't want to go back to the store just to have them "send me away" because they didn't see it.

    I have a similar problem with my iPhone 3G. The only screen that looks sharp and free of any horizontal lines or "tracers" from text or images is the home screen. Safari, contacts, etc. look bad. I have an iPod Touch as well and none of these issues have ever been manifest on it. On the iPhone there will be horizontal lines across the screen of a lighter color than the background along the edges of images (like a photo for a contact in the address book) or a safari page when multiple pages are displayed. Also none of the text in Safari or even in the crossword puzzle game I purchased are as crisp as the text on the Touch.
    I've played around with the brightness, but this has not helped (it becomes more evident when the screen is brightened).
    I'm on hold with AppleCare and if I find out something I will report back.
    Jim
