Help needed with moving mail from SuSE to X Server

I just bought a Mac Mini (used) and OSX Server 10.4. I installed the software, setup my mailserver and can send and receive. I shutdown the OSX mailserver, copied my /var/spool/imap/user/tom from my SuSE Linux server to my OSX server (both are running cyrus), chown cyrusimap:mail on all the files, then ran reconstruct via the server admin. While the emails showed up on my email client, they didn't show up correctly nor could I see what was inside them.
What did I do wrong? I'm sure a lot of things.
I had my office mailserver crash a couple months ago and moved my backup to my new SuSE server and got everything working, but I can't remember how I did it....panic modes cause memory loss.
Can anyone suggest a way to move email over?
Additionally, after I moved the email over, I wasn't able to get into Squirrelmail, but was able to access the mailbox via mail client. Squirrelmail reported wrong user or password.
Thanks,
Tom

If I understood correctly, you only moved the spool/partition, but not the cyrus database.
Chances are your imap/cyrus configuration was different on the SUSE box. Thinks like BerkeleyDB vs. Skipstamp etc.
A few assumptions:
-You didn't move over imapd.conf and cyrus.conf (which is best not to)
-You created a mail enabled user on the Tiger box with the first shortname being tom
If my assumptions are correct, then the first thing I would try is a complete reconstruction, not just re-indexing. The simplest way, would be to download mailbfr, install it and issue:
mailbfr -o
mailbfr -f
mailbfr is available here: http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/category/4/17/80/
Just fyi, you will loose your read flags.
Alternatively, keep the SUSE box running and use an IMAP client or script to copy mail over to the Tiger Server.

  • Help Please with moving files from an External HD to a New Hard Drive

    OK My Powermac MDD's Hard Drive Needs Replacing, but before I replace it I was told to buy Super Duper software and backup my hard drive and the applications onto an external Hard Drive. I am going to go and buy another external Hard Drive tomorrow and do this, but I have a few questions...
    What do I need to do to do this successfully? Please explain in the simplest of terms.
    Here's the steps as far as I understand. Please correct where necessary.
    1. Buy an external HD like an LaCie for example.
    2. Attach the LaCie external Hard Drive to my mac. *What Do I need to do to set it up to use with Super Duper? Please explain this in detail if possible as it is really confusing me how to set up my external LaCie Hard Drive so I can move my Files to it using Super Duper and then put the files back onto a new Hard Drive!*
    I've read I need to be able to "boot from the External Hard Drive" after I copy my files there using Super Duper. What do they mean by booting from the hard drive?
    Do I need to "format" my new LaCie Hard Drive?
    What do I use to format the LaCie Hard Drive? I think the last time I didn't have to do anything, when I used my external Hard Drive for storage only, but do I have to do something special now that I want to copy my whole hard Drive from the LaCe external back ont a "New" G4 Hard Drive?
    3. Buy or Download "Super Duper" software to copy all of the contents of my Hard Drive to the LaCie external Hard Drive. Does anyone know if the demo will do this or do I need the advanced features?

    Thanks Japamac, Wel this is a very lengthy reply so forgive me but I feel like I am getting close to understanding this so please bear with me. Thanks! Well I see I have 2 options that both sound viable. I ran disc utility and under S.M.A.R.T. it said: Failure. The only application I can't open is Safari and the drive is still turning properly and semi-reliable though, so I may be alright to clone still. There is stil the issue of errors though. If there are errors I agree with you I don't want to copy themm over to a new drive but can I not run disc utility after I copy verything over to the new drive?
    My reason for wanting to use Super Duper is that I have about 23 applications that all have different serial no's etc. and to reinstall all of these would take a considerable amount of time, so that's why I was wanting to use SD, but if "Migrate Assistant" will copy over applications like Photoshop, Mail and other applications then I think that might be a lot better because my install would be a lot cleaner and I could only install what I needed. What do you think?
    It looks like "Migration Assistant" only comes with Tiger. This throws a wrench into things. What would you do? Would you buy Tiger or just use Super Duper etc. Can I install Tiger onto my external Hard Drive only and then use "Migration Assistant" to transfer files over even if my Hard Drive only uses Panther? Sorry for all the questions but I see there are a few ways to do this and I want to use the method that will work best. : )
    So if i use Migrate Assistant do I need to copy over my system preferences too? I think if I copy my applications they will create new preferences when launched won't they. Also would all of my "Mail" information be copied over using "Migrate Assistant"
    Method #1 (Using Super Duper)
    1) Install the external HD and format it using "Disc Utility"
    2) Run "Super Duper" and clone my hard Drive to the external Drive.
    3) Disconnect the external Hard Drive
    4) Disconnect the computer and install the new hard drive
    5) Reconnect the external Hard Drive and Run "Super Duper" and transfer the information back to the new hard drive.
    6) Run Disc Utility and fix any errors.
    7) "Erase" the contents from the external Hard Drive
    8) Done!
    Method #2 (Using Migrate Assistant)
    1) Use the mac G4 discs and select the "External Hard Drive" and Install the OS from the install disc directly to the "External Hard Drive".
    2) Then use my Panther discs and select the "External Hard Drive" and install Panther to the "External Hard Drive".
    3) Go into "Preferences" and select "External Hard Drive" as my "Startup Disc" so it will "boot" to the "External Hard Drive".
    4) Use "Migrate Assistant" to migrate or transfer only software applications (Photoshop. Mail, Address Book etc.) from the "old" hard drive to the "External Hard Drive".
    5) Disconnect the external Hard Drive
    6) Disconnect the computer and install the new hard drive
    7) Reconnect the external Hard Drive and Run "Super Duper" and transfer the information back to the new hard drive.
    8) no need to run Disc utility as it's like a clean install.
    9) "Erase" the contents from the external Hard Drive
    10) Done!
    Please tell me if I have missed a step or if a step is incorrect in the above 2 methods.
    Q) I can't find my G4 install discs, can I use my Panther install discs instead?
    Q) Does "Migrate Assistant" come with Panther or does it only come with the mac install discs?
    Q) Will "Migrate Assistant" copy over my "Mail" application and it's setting or do I need to totally reinstall that?
    Q) How long does "Migrate Assistant" take to transfer vs.. Super Duper?

  • Urgent help needed with reading data from Cube

    Hi Gurus,
    Can anyone tell me how to read a value from a record in the CUBE with a key (combination of fields).
    Please provide if you have any custome Function Module or piece of code.
    Any ideas are highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Regards,
    aarthi

    Due to the nature of the cube design, that would be difficult, that's why there are API's, FMs, and MDX capabilities - to eliminate the need to navigate the physical structure.  Otherwise you would have to concern yourself with:
    - that there are two fact tables E and F that would need to be read.  The Factview could take of this one.
    - you would want to be able to read aggregates if they were available.
    - the fact table only as DIM IDs or SIDs (for line item dims) to identify the data, not characteristic values.  A Dim ID represents a specific combination of characteristic values.

  • Help needed with loading data from ODS to cube

    Hi
    I am loading data from an ODS to a cube in QA. The update rules are active and definition seems right. I am getting the following error, in the update rules.
    "Error in the unit conversion. Error 110 occurred"
    Help.
    Thanks.

    Hi Chintai,
    You can see the record number where the error occured in the monitor (RSMO) for this data load > goto the details tab and open up the Processing area (+ sign). Try it out...
    Also about ignoring the error record and uploading the rest, this is done if you have set Error Handling in your InfoPackage (Update tab), but this would have to be done before the load starts, not after the error happens.
    Hope this helps...
    And since you thanked me twice, also please see here:-) https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn?rid=/webcontent/uuid/7201c12f-0701-0010-f2a6-de5f8ea81a9e [original link is broken]

  • Help needed with the installing from a USB drive

    Hi, My HD failed and will not boot on my A665-3DV. I was able to retrieve all the data from both the partitions to another computer. I copied the data from the HDDRecovery partition to the USB flash drive. How do I use that data to install to a new HD?
    Please help. Thanks!

    It's not really hidden. You can connect the hard drive to an external device like coolmax (Coolmax CD-350-COMBO USB to IDE/SATA Device Adapter) which plugs in to a USB port on any PC. You can view the contents in explorer just as any other external HD.
    Of course it took me a while to make the HD work (I beat the S**T out of it on the sides every time it didn't work). It took me a few days to get all the content out of it. It still would not work if I plugged it back into the laptop. 
    I made my flash drive bootable (http://www.ehow.com/how_5215265_make-bootable-flash-drive.html) 
    Copied the contents of the HDDRecovery partition to the flash drive and I was good to go.
    Hope that helps!!

  • Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail!!

    Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail?
    I had 7 junk mails come in this morning, 5 went straight to junk and 2 more I junked.
    When I clicked on the Junk folder to empty it, it froze Mail and I can't click on anything, I had to force quit Mail and re-open it. When it re-opens the Junk folder is selected and it is froze, I can't do anything.
    I repaired permissions, it did nothing.
    I re-booted my computer, on opening Mail the In folder was selected, when I selected Junk, again, it locks up Mail and I can't select them to delete them?
    Anyone know how I can delete these Junk mails from my Junk folder without having to open Mail to do it as it would appear this will be the only solution to the problem.

    Hi Nigel
    If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
    Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
    If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
    The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.

  • Help needed with header and upload onto business catalyst

    Can someone help with a problem over a header please?
    I have inserted a rectangle with a jpeg image in  background, in the 'header' section, underneath the menu. It comes up fine on most pages when previsualised, going right to the side of the screen, but stops just before the edge on certain pages. I have double checked that I have placed it in the right place in relation to the guides on the page.
    That's one problem.
    The second problem is that I tried to upload onto business catalyst, which got to 60% and refused to go any further, saying it couldn't find the header picture, giving the title and then u4833-3.fr.png. The picture is in the right folder I have double checked. And it isn't a png. Does it have to be ?
    And the third problem is that I got an email following my upload from business catalyst in Swedish. I am living in France.
    Can anyone help ? Thanks.

    Thanks for replying,
    How can I check the preview in other browsers before I publish a provisional site with BC?
    The rectangle width issue happens on certain pages but not others. The Welecom page is fine when the menu is active, also the contact page, but others are slightly too narrow. Changing the menu spacing doesn’t help - I was already on uniform but tried changing to regular and back.
    In design mode the rectangle is set to the edge of the browser, that’s 100%browser width right?
    Re BC I have about 200 images on 24 different pages and it seems to be having difficulty uploading some of them. But it has managed a couple I named with spaces but not others I named with just one name.
    Is there an issue on size of pictures ? If I need to replace is there a quick way to rename and relink or do I have to insert the photos all over again?
    I’m a novice with Muse with an ambitious site !
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    Answering the questions :
    - Have you checked the preview in Muse and also in other browsers ?
    - Does the rectangle width issue happens when menu is active , or in any specific state , Try to change the menu with uniform spacing and then check.
    - In design view the rectangle is set to 100% browser width ?
    With publishing :
    - Please try to rename the image file and then relink
    - If it happens with other images as well , see if all the image names includes strange characters or spaces.
    - Try again to publish
    With e-mail from BC :
    - Under preferences , please check the country selected.
    - If you have previously created partner account in BC and selected country and language then it would follow that, please check that.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit

  • Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

    "Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work
    Okay so i went out and I bought a yamaha 630BL reciever, a digital coaxial s/pdif, and a 3.5mm phono plug to fit perfectly to my XFI Extreme Music
    -The audio plays fine and reports as a PCM stream when I play it normally, but I can't get dolby digital or DTS to enable for some reason eventhough I bought the DDL & DTS Connect Pack for $4.72
    When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].
    Message Edited by Fuzion64 on 03-06-2009 05:33 AMS/PDIF I/O was enabled under speakers in control panel/sound, but S/PDIF Out function was totally disabled
    once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
    I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
    -When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
    Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
    How do I make 5. render properly on vista

    We ended up getting iTunes cleanly uninstalled and were able to re-install without issue.  All is now mostly well.

  • Need to send mail from Microsoft Exchange 2007 account(different from Gmail) on behalf of another Gmail ID. How to configure that ?

    I have a Gmail ID (e.g [email protected])
    I have a Exchange ID (e.g  [email protected])
    I need to configure exchange account (2007)  such that I can send a mail from my Exchange account but at the receiver end it looks like it was sent from  ([email protected]).
    Both the accounts are my accounts.
    I need this because I do not have access to my Gmail account from place where I access the internet and I need to send the mails from my Gmail account only.

    So you want to spoof your e-mail address.
    You can make your Exchange server send as any address you want.  Just create a different mailbox with that address as the primary (reply) address.  It has to be a different account.
    However, be aware that many systems to which you send such mail to will bounce it as suspected spam because they'll detect that your server is sending mail from Gmail but your server is not Gmail.
