IMAP / POP

I can't seem to figure out how to change my IMAP setting in my blackberry curve to POP. I am using a POP server through my outlook and the IMAP setting in my blackberry is causing HAVIC with my email address... Any Ideas?

Wildcard Certificate use in Sun Java System Messaging Server (IMAPs/POPs)

I'm trying to use a wildcard certificate acquired from GlobalSign and am having problems getting
it (properly) into the cert database.
I tried using certutil, and that didn't seem to work at all, it would list without user cert status:
rmorneau+root@mmp1:/var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/config# /opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/certutil -L -d .
GlobalSign-Ext-CA CT,c,
*.xxxxxxxxxxx.edu ,,
I had some success using msgcert and pk12util, but after importing it in, then seeing that it did
have user cert status, after a quick restart of Messaging (IMAP/POP), SSL quit for IMAP and kicked all
my IMAPs users out temporarily (until I put the original cert8.db and key3.db back).
-------- ImapProxy_20101115.log----

2. Does the certificate nickname in NSS match the configured certificate nickname in the product?I'm not sure, but I'll try that the next time I try this... will probably be late at night were I won't be interrupting IMAPs and POPs
Makes sense. Prior to release 7 update 4, the servers have to be shut down before modifying certificate databases. As of 7 update 4 you can do a one-time migration to the cert9.db/key4.db format that >should allow certificates to be updated without taking the servers offline.
This was in the log just before the other log entry that I showed before.
20101115 135440 ImapProxyAService.cfg ASockSSL_Init: couldn't find cert imap.xxxxxxxxx.edu (-8174)
This is the key line from the log. The server is looking for a certificate with the NSS certificate nickname of 'imap.xxxxxxxxx.edu' and is not finding that certificate so issue 2 is likely the problem.Yes, this was it. Oversite on my part, forgot they had to match and could not be a form of just domainname.edu or *domainname.edu.
You either need to modify the default:SSLCertNicknames setting to match the nickname of the new certificate, or install the new certificate using the existing certificate nickname of 'imap.xxxxxxxxx.edu'I modified the default:SSLCertNicknames setting.
Thank you CNewman very much for all your help.
And, for those trolling for an answer with more detail via an Internet search (that is, if Oracle doesn't screw up these forums for anon searches)::::
With the private key in hand (not password protected), I used 'openssl' to get it into a pkcs12 type file:
(It is best to do this as root and not as sudo root as you might run into problems if your host
does not have root power to write to your home dir on the/a NFS share.... you will get "unable to write 'random state'".)
root@mmp1:/var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/config/GlobalSign-certs-new# /usr/sfw/bin/openssl pkcs12 -export \
-in ket-wildcard-cert.pem -inkey private.key -out cert.pkcs12 -name xxxxxxxxx.edu
Enter Export Password:
Verifying - Enter Export Password:
Where "private.key" is the key file, and "ket-wildcard-cert.pem" is the (pem format) cert from our cert provider,
and cert.pkcs12 is our cert file that will be imported into the database, and xxxxxxxxx.edu is whatever you (nick)name your cert
in the database
(I think you could use a password protected private key if you have that password.. I don't.)
Next, I used 'msgcert' to import the pkcs12 cert file into the database (I'm sure there is a way
to use certutil or even pk12util to do the same, but I'm on Sun Messenger 6.3 at this time, so that's what I used.
If someone would like to elaborate for those....?):
(It is best, when using 'msgcert', to do it where your mailsrv user has some privs.. I took my pkcs12 cert and moved into /tmp.)
root@mmp1:/tmp# /opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/msgcert import-cert cert.pkcs12
Enter the PKCS#12 file password: (blank)
Enter the certificate database password: (token password in sslpassword.conf)
Make sure your (wildcard) cert nickname matches what you have in
ImapProxyAService.cfg and PopProxyAService.cfg at the "default:SSLCertNicknames" field.
Edit if need be.
root@mmp1:/var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/config# /opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/certutil -L -d .
GlobalSign-Ext-CA CT,c,
xxxxxxxxx.edu u,u,u
root@mmp1:/var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/config# grep default:SSLCertNicknames *AService.cfg
ImapProxyAService.cfg:default:SSLCertNicknames xxxxxxxxx.edu
PopProxyAService.cfg:default:SSLCertNicknames xxxxxxxxx.edu
Then, of course, restart the msg service(s).

Best recommendation: polling frequency for imap/pop

I need some advice about the polling frequency recommendation for Applications that will use imap/pop connexion to servers. What should be the best recommendation about it?

For your best long-term interests, your best recommendation for applications is to use EWS and not these light clients. And keep in mind that these older versions of Exchange are not going to get support in the near future (in fact Exchange 2003 is
probably out of support already).
That being said, if the application is polling, it's up to them to determine how often in order for their application to be both responsive for end users and not cause extreme server issues. You can (of course) keep the latter from being an issue with
throttling.

Correct. Not your fault. it's a server admin bug.

Configuring IMAP - POP - SMTP over SSL

Hi,
I have configured SSL for webserver. I have copied same cert database (cert8.db and key3.db) in the config directory of messaging server. Changed the ownership of database to messaging server user. Password file is updated. I am able to see the certficate (./msgcert list-certs and ./msgcert show-cert cert1).
SSL is enabled for IMAP and POP.
# ./getconf | grep ssl
service.imap.enablesslport = 1
service.imap.sslcachesize = 0
service.imap.sslport = 993
service.imap.sslusessl = yes
service.pop.enablesslport = 1
service.pop.sslcachesize = 0
service.pop.sslport = 995
service.pop.sslusessl = yes
I am not able to connect to 993 and 995 port.

Finding Bandwidth for IMAP,POP,WebMail, LDAP

Hi I have a setup with iplanet messaging 5.2 and directory server 5.1 on one machine and calendar server on the other.
Can anybody tell me how to find the bandwidht for LDAP,POP3,IMAP,WebMail, Calendar per domain wise or per user wise.
I have 20 doamins hosted on my messaging server.
Thanks

Actually am suppose to generate a report of the bandwidth being used by various domain hosted on my messaging server for Imap, POP, HTTP, LDAP and Calendar.
I have total of 21 domains hosted on my messaging server and each domain has atleast 300-400 users.
So how can i calculate this statistics.?
Thanks

IMAP, POP, Server, iPhone, Oh My!

My head is now swimming as I try to understand how the iPhone integrates into the rest of my eMail synchronization scheme.
Searching the forums and support articles has been a frustrating endeavor, so hopefully this thread will serve as a directional beacon to an otherwise highly confusing topic. I'm looking for definitive answers to the following questions.
Starting with the .Mac IMAP settings:
Now that I have an iPhone, my e-mail is synchronized between it, the .Mac server and my MacBook. Which means anything I create on my MacBook is mirrored on my iPhone? So anything I do on the iPhone is also mirrored on my MacBook?
How do the Advanced Mailbox Behaviors settings on the iPhone affect this relationship?
For Drafts Mailbox, Sent Mailbox & Deleted Mailbox, I have the choice to keep them On My iPhone or On The Server. If I keep them on my iPhone, does that mean they never go to the Server and consequently my MacBook?
Then I have the choice of Deleted Messages to Remove: Never or various intervals. If I choose to keep my Deleted Mailbox on the iPhone, does that mean the server never knows I have deleted an e-mail on the iPhone?
So the Deleted Messages applies only to the settings assigned the Deleted Mailbox on the iPhone?
Then if I adjust the Deleted Messages settings to remove messages after one day that are stored on my iPhone, then only the messages downloaded to my iPhone will be deleted, but the original message on the server will not be touched until I delete it on my MacBook?
Moving on to Yahoo IMAP & POP:
If I am using Yahoo IMAP Push server on the iPhone, then all of my Yahoo mailboxes are duplicated on the iPhone. The same questions as .Mac IMAP above apply.
HOWEVER, on the MacBook, the Yahoo account is POP only. So nothing I do on the iPhone will affect my MacBook Mail, correct?
Only the mail kept on the server will be affected by what I do on my iPhone?
So, if I have the iPhone set to store Deleted Mailbox on the Yahoo server and Deleted Messages to delete them every day, then a message deleted from my iPhone could wipe it off the server before my MacBook has a chance to download it?
So the only way to avoid that is to keep Deleted Mailbox on the iPhone?
As for Drafts, Sent and Deleted Mailboxes managed between POP and IMAP Mail clients, I'm guessing that even if the iPhone keeps them on the Yahoo server, that there is no way to download them to MacBook's Mail using POP?
The only way to get messages sent from the iPhone Mail into the MacBook Mail using a POP account is to use the cc: function?
If this information is clearly stated somewhere else, I would greatly appreciate a pointer to it.
A clear step-by-step discussion of the consequences of setting each of the iPhone's Advanced Mail features would be be most welcome.

Here's one clarification with Yahoo Push IMAP & POP
FIRST: IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW All ATT.YAHOO ACCOUNTS WILL WORK WITH YAHOO PUSH SERVER. Both Apple & ATT have been setting their customers up with the standard home use POP accounts. This works with all legacy accounts too: Pacbell.net, SBCGlobal.net, etc.
Whatever you do on the iPhone, no matter what settings you have, will change the Yahoo IMAP server. When you delete an e-mail it goes to the Trash and is removed from the Inbox on the server as well as the iPhone. Therefore, it is not available for download via your desktop mail POP account. In order to ensure an e-mail is available for download on your desktop mail client, DO NOT DELETE an e-mail. Since your desktop POP client settings will change the information on the IMAP server as well, basically all you need to do is nothing. Leave your trash on the server and set it for NEVER delete. Your desktop will do everything else. Obviously if you delete junk mail or something else you don't want to keep on your iPhone, it saves your desktop some trouble. As for where to keep Drafts and Sent mail, THEY DO NOT synchronize with a POP client. Therefore, it is probably best to keep them on your iPhone so you have access to them on an airplane or other location where you can't access the server.
.MAC IMAP is similar except whatever you do on either side of the server will be copied to the other instantaneously. Changing the stored location of SENT, DRAFTS & TRASH will also move them on the server. So there is no way to manage IMAP messages on your phone or computer independently and ensure the messages will still be available for the other. UNLIKE POP, which can be configured to remove an e-mail from the server after a period of time once it's been downloaded, the e-mail will have to be manually managed on the iPhone. Which seems best to be done by the number of messages retrievable into the iPhone. So it just now occurs to me that every e-mail in my Inbox on my Mac is also still on the server. Which would be great I suppose, BUT, UNLIKE OS X Mail and other applications, there is no way on the iPhone to search the messages on the server to find what you are looking for. So they are just taking up space on the server they don't need to be.
Keeping SENT and DRAFTS on the iPhone is also problematic as they do not synchronize with the desktop as backup transactions from the iPhone. The BIGGEST flaw with all of this is there is only one MASTER setting the CC rules. You either CC yourself on every e-mail sent from the iPhone, or none of them. So when you have a POP account and a .Mac account, the CC is great for sending yourself a backup from the POP account. But it's redundant on the .Mac account. And I suppose on the Yahoo IMAP account since you could use the iPhone to move sent messages into the Inbox to be downloaded on the desktop (but that seems like a whole lot of trouble so why not just CC yourself). It would be nice if you could choose whether to CC yourself for each Mailbox, rather than all of them.
So, while far easier than anything else I have ever used, the iPhone is far from simple. It seems that after some frustrating testing I now understand the iPhone's settings and how they work with my MacBook, but the main thing anyone should note is that considerable caution must be used to avoid losing any data between home and mobile as well understand the limitations.
IF I HAVE ANY PART OF THIS WRONG, Please don't hesitate to correct me.

How to use Mail on multiple computers imap pop ?????

I have gmail account.
Set up mail.app on my laptop.
When i send messages from my laptop, doesnt show up on my gmail account, when i check from the web.
also, setting up mail.app on my mac mini, and doesnt import sent messages from laptop, how do i sync? using imap worked better for the mini. using pop for the laptop. thanks.
Message was edited by: jaredddddd

If you have a POP account, you can send mail to yourself, but Mail will not retrieve it. I've tested that many times myself, so I speak from experience.
My opinion is that you should stick to a POP account, skip the iPhone thing (you don't need yet another gadget, do you?), and just login from your Mac(s) and leave the mail on the server if you want all your computers to be able to have the same messages.

IMAP, POP, HTTP connection limits

Messaging 5.x and 6.x:
Are there default limits when these three configutil parameters are not set?
service.imap.connlimits
service.pop.connlimits
service.http.connlimits
Or, is the default to allow the maximum number of any kind of connection based on OS configuration?
Thanks,
Don Holtzer

The settings you show do not exist.
they actually are:
service.http.maxsessions
service.imap.maxsessions
service.pop.maxsessions
per documentation:
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-0106/cfgutil.html
and are per process.
The defaults are:
1 process, 6000 http connections
1 process, 4000 imap connections
1 process, 600 pop connections.
Please note, these are simultaneous connections, not total users. It's rare to get more than 10% of your users connected to imap or http at any one time, and POP is a short time connections.
The defaults are likely good for up to 30 to 50,000 users.
You can configure more than one process, up to something like 10, as needed.

Recently I have noticed that when my wife or I delete a message it deletes from both ipads. I have checked my settings and made sure we are using pop3 account but when I check my mail settings lookup it shows that i am using imap.
I have deleted the account on my laptop in mail and set up another ensuring the settings for pop a/c are correct but this seems to have no effect.
How can I change this?
any help is appreciated
Thank you
Keith

This question was posted in the OS X Server forum, which can host mail — if you are hosting your own mail using OS X Server, then there can be rather more to the discussion; the server end of the connection is in play, in addition to the client settings. I'm going to guess you are not running OS X Server.
Your settings are incorrect, or there's a problem with the mail server or the network connection.
There's no way to know what particular settings are required, except to check with the particular organization hosting your mail. They'll usually post the details of the settings on their web site.
In general, there are two groups of settings — the settings that are used to send out new messages, which occurs via SMTP, and receiving and viewing mail, which can occur via POP or IMAP. Both groups of settings need to be correct, too.
Please see the Apple troubleshooting documentation, as a starting point. That'll help you with the Connection Doctor and related troubleshooting.

IMAP & POP E-Mail on two devices?

I have a quick question, mostly for those who understand the inner-workings of the two systems fairly well. I am using IMAP on my laptop to connect with my personal E-mail account. I am also using it on my iPhone, but you can't sync subfolders in IMAP on the iPhone without navigating to each individual folder.
If I am still using IMAP from my Mail.app, and I have server-side rules set up on my E-Mail server to route mail to the appropriate folders, when I use POP, will I only get the E-mails that are remaining in the Inbox, or everything that has arrived, regardless of what folders it has been placed in using the server rules?
Part of my problem is I have a ton of mail that is not critical to be read constantly. However, some I do want to read on my iPhone when I am remote. So I was hoping to be able to use server rules to filter E-Mail to the appropriate folder, and use POP on the iPhone (with the setting set to never delete from the server) to get everything else.
Will this work, or am I going to still get everything that has been sent, regardless of the IMAP rules on the server?
Thanks,
Mike

IMAP + POP checkboxes will not stay checked

I am having a rather bizarre error while setting up mail on my xServe. We have a xServe OD master which authenticates through a AD domain controller (through the method described on Mike Bombich's website). I am trying to start the mail service in OS X with both IMAP and POP, however whenever I check the enable box next to either and click save they just disable themselves again. It's getting pretty frustrating. I am wondering if there is a simple fix or if perhaps a reinstall of OS X server may be in order.
any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
The Mail Service Interface can be slightly psychotic at times and occasionally not to be trusted. You could stop the service using the command line:
sudo serveradmin stop mail
Enable the boxes using the Interface. Click Save. Quit out of Server Admin. Start the service using the command line again:
sudo serveradmin start mail
Verify the service is running:
sudo serveradmin fullstauts mail
Hopefully you should see entries listing POP and IMAP as 'RUNNING'. It's a good idea to quit Server Admin once you're done with it.
