If I upgrade to 10.5.2 is it going to mess up my mail

At the moment my mail server seems to be working well with my primary and virtual domains. Being I have it setup with the WGM and Postfix files because virtual users is broken in the current version, if I update to 10.5.2, is that going to mess up my mail system? Will I need to change things after the update or do things differently? Any info would be great. I just don't want to update something and then find out I have a lot of work to do after the update.

You're running a server, and you're asking good questions.
Downtime can be painful, as you've almost certainly learned.
But as for your question, I'm not certain there's anything I'd accept as proof other than a local test. Environments can and do differ, and triggers can be subtle. Your upgrade mileage may vary, after all, depending on many factors.
If you don't have a "scratch" environment where you can prototype the upgrade, make a backup before the upgrade (to allow you a path back), then perform the upgrade and test it. Then (once you're satisfied) turn the users loose on the box.
And even with a scratch environment, I'd still suggest the backup be made.
If you're running critical operations, you may well want a second (or more) mail server around. This for upgrades, and as a fallback should an upgrade stuff something up. (Past outages can often be used as justification for the added hardware and licenses for testing future upgrades -- which is probably the wrong way 'round -- but that's how some organizations work.)
I do know that 10.5.2 "sat on" at least one iCal library on a Mac OS X client. As for what else might have gone off the rails, I haven't seen anything (else) yet, but I've not worked my way up to a server upgrade yet. I usually try several client upgrades first.

    the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
    The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
    When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
    As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
    When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
    Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but  he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

  • HT201365 I just upgraded my iphone and now whenever it goes to sleep I have to enter a password to open it again. Very frustrating! I don't want to have to do that almost every time I use my phone. Is there a way of deactivating that annoying feature?

    I just upgraded my iphone and now whenever it goes to sleep I have to enter a password to open it. Very frustrating! Can I disable this annoying feature? I went to Settings and disabled the Find My Phone feature thinking that would do it. But it didn't.
    I am somewhat infotech-challenged. So I would appreciate help on this. Thank you in advance.

  • After upgrading to Lion some messages for gmail account are messed

    hello
    ever since upgrading to Lion (installed GoldMaster first) the new mail app doesn't seem to work properly for some messages, i was hoping someone already experienced this problem too so it would be solved in the realse version, but this didn't seem to happen
    i have a number of accounts in mail but the problem occurs only for my gmail (IMAP) account: not all but some messages are not displayed properly. when i choose a message, mail shows all the message contents of some other message from past, though in the list of e-mails it shows sender and subject properly, it shows a wrong message body. the problem affects in some random way, i can't say it shows wrong message bodies for any  special addresses or some other logic
    this occured only after i upgraded to lion, and i also didn't change any settings for mail, after a clear installation of lion i imported all mail settings from 10.6.8
    i attached a screenshot for better understanding of the problem if i couldn't axplain it clearly

    same problem here. but not only on gmail. also on other pop and imap accounts (5 accounts of 10): some messages are not displayed properly. when i choose a message, mail shows all the message contents of some other message from past, though in the list of e-mails it shows sender and subject properly, it shows a wrong message body. the problem affects in some random way.
    also the sent messages are broken …
    man, i got 20.000+ mails and 20% broken …

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • I have a 2008 vintage iMac with 2.8GHz processor and recently upgraded to  OS X 10.9.5.  Soon after theupgrade the mail system started switching the senders address to another address, but same user name.  How do you fix this?

    Thanks for the reply,.  I went to the site provided and executed the directions but this did not solve the issue. 
    Even more details:
    If I send a message to the Jane Doe address from another account on this machine (all my family uses the same email services provider and each have accounts set up on this machine), when you open it, it shows Jane Doe then the <applejax.xx> address AND the picture associated with the Apple Jax account.
    So the problem shows up when the message is sent to this account from this machine, AND when it is sent from this machine from this account.  No other accounts on the machine are effected.
    I have sent and received email messages from the mail service provider's website, and everything is fine.

  • My Macbook Pro is still under limited warranty. Is it possible to upgrade my pro to retina display by going in to the store?

    My Macbook Pro is still under limited warranty. Is it possible to upgrade my pro to retina display by going in to the store?

    You can only exchange or upgrade your macbook pro for a retina macbook if you are within the 14 days purchase time frame. After the 14th day, you are no longer eligible for an exchange or any upgrade but only for free repairs.
    Limited warranty doesn’t mean you would be eligible for an exchange or an upgrade, but its a time period in which your existing macbook hardware and software issues are rectified free of cost.
    Hope this helps.....

  • Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off"

    Good advice from Linc Davis that should sort out your query i think...
    However you dont want to set your MBP to never go to sleep...
    Adjust reasonable sleep settings...
    And the download an APP called caffiene...
    When you click it you can have your MBP never go to sleep with a single click of your menu bar... and with another click it can go to sleep normally to maintain the laptop...
    Simply click the cup... To toggle never sleep/sleep

  • HT6030 Help!  I upgraded to Maverick and my emails are now really messed up.  It flagged over 5,000 messages when I haven't flagged anything.  Now, the email message that people are sending me is actually an email message from years ago.  Any explanations

    Help!  I upgraded to Maverick and now my emails are really messed up.  It flagged over 5,000 emails that I have never flagged.  Now, it shows a message from someone this morning, but the content is an email that I received years ago.  My Iphone and Ipad are fine.  Any ideas?  I can't read mail off of my macbook because the email isn't what these people are sending!  Help!

    Thanks one again. I know you helped me the last to. I do have the Deja Vu font set in my folder. I downloaded and the last time. So I don't know if there is supposed to be more or not, but those were installed with Windows-XP after my reformat.
    This is really driving me nuts. as I've done several re-formats on my computer and several friends computers and even upgraded hardware so I am not necessarily a software or programming expert, I am somewhat advanced when it comes to computers in general and can usually diagnose the problem but these font's are the problem and they never were before.
    I did see in another forum that if you had a Dell Computer and did the Microsoft update for the onboard video card driver that it could be the culprit, but I have that disabled being I have a much better graphics card so the updates from Microsoft for the onboard video weren't installed.
    It' a Dell Dimension 3000 with an Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller so I don't believe it is the culprit being it is disabled. The actual video card that I am using is a PCI Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB Memory. And I didn't have any problem before.
    I appreciate the help. But still can't get things to work. Live Help Chat doesn't open for another two hours so maybe they can do "Remote Access" or something and can check setting and help me. But if you come up with other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks again.

    I upgraded 4s to IOS 7.0.2 and lost all inboxes in MAIL.  After reading email and exit to MAILBOXES, I can only select from: VIP, Flagged, Unread, To/ CC, Attachments, Sent, Trash.  Not even "ALL INBOXES" is an option via Edit. How do I get my INBOX options?

    Followingothers advice on similar issues, I deleted account (in Setting - Mail...)  and then added it back.  The Inbox was there, but ni Trash or Sent box.  The Trash and Sent maiboxes presented themselves after I deleted an email, and sent an email.

  • Since upgrade to iOS 7 Email error on over 100KB emails "Cannot Send Mail  The message was rejected by the server because it is too large." Connecting to Exchange via Activesync

    Hi,
    Following the upgrade to iOS 7.0.3 on all our iPhone and iPad devices, it has been identified that when sending emails around 100KB in size and over an error message appears on the device stating “Cannot Send Mail  The message was rejected by the server because it is too large.” See error message below. The send/receive limit is over 10MB so this is not the issue.
    We are in an Exchange Environment using Microsoft Activesync. This issue is not evident in iOS 6. This has been tested on an iPhone 3GS running version iOS 6.1.3. We have been unable to repeat the issues seen on iOS 7 on the older OS. It is not possible to roll back to the older operating system as Apple are no longer signing the software.
    We use Microsoft Active Sync to connect to our Exchange servers through a TMG. The issue is very inconsistent, some identical emails go through, some fail. This is not an issue with the send/receive limit as this is over 10MB. The error message when it fails on the TMG is Status: 413 Request Entity Too Large, which we believe is from IIS on the CAS server.
    Does anyone have any suggest course of actions to take?
    Many Thanks

    This resolution have to attend at the server not with the ios device. My employer's mail administrator reject me to correct it from the server. As his concern is, if ither ios devices works why don't mine? So I am helpless than changing my iphone. It works fine for early versions of ios and with androids. And also one of my friends iphone4 with ios 7 (similar as mine) works too. So I guess it's something wrong with my iPhones settings. But basic question I cannot understand is it works in my phone before this ios7 upgrading. And currently working with my yahoo account too. Favourable reply expected.
