Imap service stopping at random

Hi,
We're running NSMS 4.15 on WinNTAS v4 sp6a. Every once in a while the imap service will exit. Nothing in the NT event logs or the NS IMAP logs. I set the logging mode to debug and there doesn't appear to be any more information in the log than before. The problem seems to not be related to load as it has happened at various times of the day (and night). Support has told us to reconstruct the mail folders which I did on Sunday with imap, pop, smtp, and http all off. Only store was running. On Tuesday the service stopped in the middle of the morning.
Any ideas out there?

Hi!
I hade the same problem with IMAP. It seems that some mailbox has problem. One message in inbox or other folders could be case of problem.
1- If you look at the log files you can find account, which has problem. Normally, account before the message ?Messaging Server IMAP4 4.15 ? starting up? in the log file.
2- Log on with this account and find out the mail folder (inbox, sent box or other) that makes IMAP goes down. If inbox has problem the server goes down when you log on or synchronize the inbox.
3- Find out which message has problem. You may create a new folder and move the messages there to find out the problem message. Delete the problem message and run reconstruct for folder.

Access Connections main service stops randomly

Hi all,
I have a T60 at work with the latest version of Access Connections. Over the last few weeks, my Access Connections will randomly show that it disconnects in my system tray. However, I am still connected to my company's network. Our tech group came out and said that they are seeing instances of the Access Connection Main service just stopping randomly. When I go into Services, I can verify that it has stopped. This happens anywhere from 20-60 mins after logging onto our network. It also only happens when I am docked to my docking station, not when I am wireless. If I have a tech remote into my machine and restart the service, it starts up just fine again.
Any thoughts as to what might be causing the service to stop like this? It doesn't present a problem if I stay docked...but if I undock and try to go wireless, it doesn't do the auto switching because it's frozen...so I always have to reboot.

Hi,
in this situation make following:
- go to services and open Properties of both AC Services and in the Recovery tab set all 3 options to "Restart the Service"
- In case this should not change the situation, then go to "Log On" tab and select "This account" and insert your name and password.
In this situation would be also good to check the Event log if there is any notice, why the Service stopped working.
Any info is appreciated.
Cheers

Services stop at restart, router restart or randomly

On 10.7.2 Server DHCP, DNS, Netboot, Web and Open Directory services stop (as seen in Server Admin/Server.app) and are unable to be restarted. If I try to restart them I don't get an error message, but the indicator resolutely remains grey (instead of green).
I can make this problem happen by:
restarting the server
restarting the switch/router that runs the whole school
It also happens pseudo randomly.
To fix the problem I need to:
Unplug the main router and our internet ADSL box
Shut down the Server
Cuss.
Plug the main router/switch in
Plug in the internet box
Wait for a minute or so
Turn on the server
This is far, far less than ideal. I'm happy to grab error messages from console if that helps - but give me an indication for what service you'd like it from.
Perhaps you can tell me if this is a conflict somewhere - a bug, or something I can fix. It's driving me crazy.
Cheers,
Glen.

Hi Fabrizio,
why do you want to reboot your server every sunday?????
If you reboot your SAP this often, you'll have performance problems every Monday. All
of your SAP internal Buffers must be filled again after an reboot. If your DB is on the
same Host, also your DB Buffer is empty.
If this is an productive System, i highly recommend you that you not reboot your SAP System this often....
(By side, thats the difference between an *nix and an Windows System.).
What is the reason for doing that?
confused

After Service, Airport card stops working randomly on macbook pro 17" early 2009

Hi,
So after the last time my computer was serviced, the airport card stops working randomly on moving the screen.
Upons restarting the computer, it sometimes says wi-fi hardware not installed. Then, if I move my machine around,
lift it up, turn it around, place it back on the table and restart it, it works again. I don't understand this.
And all this started happening the moment my warranty ran out. Extremely frustrating!!

It may be possible that one of the following may be the issue:
The internal AirPort Extreme card is not seated properly.
The internal Wi-Fi antenna connector is not seated properly in the AirPort Extreme card.
The internal AirPort Extreme card's connector is faulty or damaged.
The internal AirPort Extreme card is faulty.
To get an idea on how the Extreme card is installed, please check out the following iFixit article.

IMAP + POP service stops after startup. Cannot configure params in shell

Hello,
Just bought a MacMini, with 10.6.4 server. However, I cannot make POP nor IMAP services to work. They stop after startup. SMTP works fine though.
How do I troubleshoot? The graphical 'Mail Configure Service...' does not make the IMAP service start.
I cannot change the mail parameters via command line.
For example:
$ sudo serveradmin set mail:imap:enable_imap = no /yes is ignored.

By manually reseting the variables in the file, mail started with IMAP and POP running,
I trust this is a bug in the serveradmin .app
Here is the garbled file:
----sslcertfile variable could not be reset by serveradmin, it apparently appended data instead of overwriting:

Essbase Service stops randomly

Essbase Service stops automatically, this stops the Essbaseapplications. When I restart the applications they get into FreeSpace recovery taking more time to complete blocking the useraccess to the other application. EssbaseService Error: 997, Shutting down Essbase service.. thanks Ramesh

What version of Essbase? Are you using App Mgr or Essbase Administration Services, and do you have PC Anywhere?

CFMX windows services stopping

Hi,
Has anyone else run into the situation where the CFMX 7
ColdFusion services are stopping randomly?
Set-up - Server 2000, CFMX 7, IIS 5
On checking the windows services i'm finding that the
services are failing which require a restart, this holds up for a
while then the services stops again. On restarting i'm then
sometimes receiving the 'service specific error 2', strangely
enough not all the time though, i did set the services to auto
restart on failure, this however does not seem to start the stopped
service, is there a set order they should be starting in? If there
is a service dependency can be set, any ideas?
This has also been coupled with a license key error in the
logs saying the server may be out of compliance, we have checked
all our license keys they are all valid, bit stumped on that one.
Any ideas & help greatly appreciated...

That's a fairly generic error message - have you dug through
the JRun (runtime) logs, and/or the system event logs?
Some links that may help:
ColdFusion MX: Service startup fails with service-specific
error 2 following a service shutdown or restart

SMB Service Stopping every few days

The SMB Service on my 10.5.6 XServe has developed a habit of stopping at random every few days.
I've found the error in older, archived posts, with no solution.
The only hallmark seems to be that the system.log spits out a line saying "servermgrd: readFile File /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server.plist is not a valid plist" before the smb process terminates.
The other thing is that instead of starting the process again, I have to promote it to PDC and enable Guest Access, as if the plist is deleted (unsurprising if it is corrupt).
Help! Anyone!

We installed our Leopard server on Sunday and today (Tuesday) the SMB service wouldn't allow any new users on.
We had to stop and start it again.
I am wondering if sing this 10.4 fix would work?

Hi,
After we copy the Test-Port function within the gallery to our computer, then we could use below command to check connections, for example:
test-port -computer "imap server" -port 389 -tcp
We can save the result in a variable like below:
$result=test-port -computer "imap server" -port 389 -tcp
More details:
Windows PowerShell Script: Test-Port
http://blogs.technet.com/b/wsnetdoc/archive/2011/11/07/windows-powershell-script-test-port.aspx
Then if the value of $result indicate that the connect is failed, then we can use
Restart-Service cmdlet to stop and then restart the specified service. Or use start-service command:

Hope this helps.

Mail imap problems: Mail created random folders and saves multiple drafts

Hi there, I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and set up Mail to imap my two primary email accounts (new to discussion forum and forums in general):
I have two imap accounts set up: Gmail and Network Solutions (my work webmail). Gmail is working fine.
Network Solutions imap account:
- Saves numerous copies of drafts of the same email as I type, and when I try to delete them (select them all, delete, or select all and move to trash), I get a message saying the Network Solutions server on port 143 has timed out. So I have a bunch of drafts that I can't clear.
Mail menu on lefthand side of Mail window looks like:
Mailboxes
Inbox icon with dropdown to
Gmail Inbox icon
Net Sol Inbox icon
Drafts icon with dropdown to
Gmail Drafts icon
Net Sol Drafts icon (this is where all those drafts keep saving and can't be deleted from)
Sent icon with dropdown to
Gmail Sent icon (only about a dozen sent emails are shown here)
Net Sol Sent icon (only about ten sent emails are shown here)
Trash icon with dropdown to
Gmail Trash icon (seems to be all my trash)
Net Sol Trash icon (seems to be all my trash)
REMINDERS
ON MY MAC
RSS
GMAIL drop down to
[Gmail] white folder icon that has the following sub folders:
All Mail (appears to have all mail from gmail in here)
Drafts
Sent Mail (appears to have all sent mail here)
Spam
Starred
Trash
NET SOL (drop down triangle)
Draft folder (empty folder)
locker folder (empty, no idea what this is, did not come from Net Sol)
Sent (does not refresh properly, always missing recent msgs)
Sent Items (empty folder)
Trash
The thing is, that in Network Solutions, prior to imapping with Mail, I had these folders:
Inbox
Deleted Messages
Drafts
Sent
Trash
NOW, after setting up imap to Mail, new folders have appeared in Network Solutions:
Folder Name
INBOX
Deleted Messages (Bolded)
Draft
Drafts
INBOX
Sent Messages (Bolded) (all recent sent msgs are in here now)
Sent (Bolded) (all sent msgs from Nov 6 and earlier are in here)
Sent Items
Trash
If I want to reference an email I sent after Nov 6, I have to log onto my Network Solutions webmail and go to that Sent Messages folder, move them to the Sent folder, then log out and update my Mail, at which point, I can see them on Mail.
I have not made a single folder in Mail -- what's there is a result of me setting up the two imap accounts.
Network Solutions has no idea what that "locker" folder is, it is not a Network Solutions-generated folder, does not appear in my Network Solutions webmail folder list, and I did not make it.
Can anyone help me clean this up, explain these mysterious folders, why I can't delete Net Sol drafts, why I can't get my sent messages that are more recent than Nov 6 into Mail, even though I've been primarily using Mail to send and receive mail for both Gmail and Network Solutions?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi. I posted again, and no one has answered either, here is the other post, it's more detailed in scope:
I am having a very strange problem here which started about a week ago, maybe someone can point me in the right direction:
1) I use both gmail and my domain's server email which load into Mail.app. I use gmail because I like their spam filter and I use their SMTP because where I am, my ISP SMTP server isn't very reliable. Gmail solves my outgoing mail problem, but doesn't support showing when mail has been answered and that is a useful feature.
2) My procedure is to open up gmail in my browser, mark and delete the spam (IMAP Account), then close the browser and open mail.app
3) I have a rule in mail.app which moves my gmail to my domain mail Inbox where I organized with folders and subfolders and use many signatures to send different email out to customers. Mail has been very good as you can do quite a lot with it compared to most other email clients for OSX. I do this for three domains, with several email addresses within each domain.
4) In mail.app, I can choose which mailbox to use for sent mail, junk, etc. This way I am sending from my domain, the email response shows and is linked to that mail so I can look for old responses fast and organize things by department. Spotlight or search works fast and perfectly. It's a good solution which I have used for well over a year (whenever gmail released IMAP services), or was, until a week ago.
Problem 1) As of now, when I open the mail account, the domain subfolders which should be below my Inbox are no longer there. If I look lower to the account folder, sometimes the folders show up there, sometimes they do not show up at all, but they are online in my web-based mail with my hosting company. The mails are not lost, but mail.app is not connecting with the host correctly as they appear and disappear randomly.
Problem 2) Every time I open mail.app now, most of my email inbox folders have to download all of the mail and their attachments again, even though I have the boxes in preferences correctly checked. Once the inbox loads all of the mail, then the subfolders disappear. This is very consistent. As long as there is no mail showing in the inbox, then the subfolders are showing correctly. As soon as the inbox is loaded showing mails, then the subfolders either disappear or move.
Problem 3). The mailboxes that my hosting's webmail service creates (like deleted mail, mail to delete, trash, trash delete, whatever, it's a Windows server) keep showing up in Mail. They never did that before. Once I deleted them, I could see them online, but not in mail. All was as it should be. Now they keep coming back every time I reconnect and I often have to reset which mailbox is being used for junk, sent mail, drafts, etc.
Problem 4). This same problem happens on all three of my machines, two being PPC and one Intel, running 10.4.11 and 10.5.5 respectively. The problem started happening on all my machines at the same time. This is also connection from three different ISPs.
Solution? My hosting company says that they have changed nothing in their settings (IMAP uses Port 143 and I do get a time-out error sometimes but not often). They have tried it in Outlook and do not get the same results, they say it's working fine. I have tried to subscribe in Leopard (you can't do this is Tiger, only in Leopard, but Mail.app says I have no subscribed folders, which is not true). The Quota Limits shows the standard Mail.app mailboxes, the Subscription List shows nothing, and no way to change it).
I tried Thunderbird and it connects faster, downloads faster and the folders are OK, but I still get mail folders appearing randomly. Sometimes I get mail folders appearing that I have not ever created with names like "System Mail". Sometimes I get mail boxes which are stored On My Mac which appear on IMAP suddenly. (Also, Thunderbird has poor signature file support, so I would prefer to use Mail, it's a better program overall.)
I have tried rebuilding the mail accounts, have done this, realistically, 25 times. Yesterday I did a complete reinstall of 10.5.5 just because I am at the end of my rope. Now I am about ready to change hosting companies as I am still having the same trouble. I am in the process of archiving all of my mail into Gmail so I can switch hosts if that is the problem. But, I would like to know first if that is actually the problem, since overall I am pretty happy with my hosting company. They are in Arizona and speak my language and they are easy to talk with. However, they do not have a Mac there so they cannot test my situation from their facility.
It's a strange problem in that one, I have used the system fine for well over a year with perfect results. Two, it happens on three different Mac used in three different places (office, home, and another person's home), and three, I have not changed hosting companies, I have been using the same host for two years and they deny changing any settings on their end.
The hosting company has no answer for me, they are not Mac users, and say that it's perfect in Outlook, but it's not actually perfect in Outlook either as mailboxes still appear randomly and sent mail ends up in my inbox randomly even in Outlook. They just don't realize it as they are not watching my mail boxes except when I am on the phone with them.
I am not having trouble with my websites. I do not have this problem with Gmail, only with my domain webmail.
I have to use Windows because of a particular shopping cart system I use, but IMAP systems should be the same on Windows or anything else. Some how, some where, some one has changed some thing. Any idea what and how to solve the problem?
Thanks,
John

Pop and Imap remain stopped, what is going on?

I can not figure out what is going on. Both POP and IMAP are "stopped" and I have been trying like crazy to figure out why I can not get them to start. After countless hours of searching the net and the forums I have decided to post a new thread asking for help.
I have set up the mail service in os x server (10.5.5) in the past with no problems. I just can not figure out what is going on this time though. Please help.

One mroe thing, I read in another topic where someone was having similar issues and another user had asked if the database and mail store locations existed. I noticed that mine did not. I had to create the folders /var/imap/ and /var/spool/imap/. I then pulled up server admin and selected those locations under database and mail store, prior to that there was nothing listed in database and mail store. I dont know if this has anything to do with my main issue but I thought I should throw this in as well.

One last thing, I just added my account into mail.app to see if I could send and receive email there. IT WORKED! I successfully set myself an email. So, I know it is working now. But I just need to figure out why squirrelmail is being stupid.
Thanks!

Another service stops

Have one of my dsfw servers (oes11) that just yesterday or today
started having a dsfw service stop randomly.
Doing an xadcntrl validate shows:
Checking for RPC Endpoint Mapper Service is unused
Doing a reload usually gets it going again, but sometimes other
services end up not starting & then it takes a reboot to get everything
going again.
Suggestions?

Hi Stevo,
Is this on the server where DNS/novell-named cuts off every so often? And ifso, did you try adding the "-n 1" switch as per previous thread?
Also have a look at this TID: Support | Basic Troubleshooting of Domain Services for Windows

Sql reporting services stops every 24 hours for a short time then restarts

I have noticed that recently in sccm 2012 sp1 the sql reporting services stops every morning at 7:58 am and restarts after a minute or two. The only entry in the event logs is when it stops. I don't see anything tied in with it that stops or
starts at the same time and there are no tasks or anything like that which would point to this time frame. I just thought I would throw this out there to see if anyone had any ideas. Usually with something of this nature there are some corresponding
log entries that go beyond the service stopping, but in this case there isn't. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I think I found out what was going on. I approached this from a different angle and was directed to the sql reporting services logs and found information on the reporting web server stopping. Researching that yielded the following information.
It appears that this is a result of the SSRS Web Server recycling the App Domain, which is supposed to be a pretty normal process. In fact, the configuration file for this process defaults to recycling the app domain twice daily. This lines up
with the time frame that the reporting service is stopping. It restarts it in less that two minutes and logs the recyling in the reporting services log twice daily so why I'm not seeing this entry in the event logs twice daily or even every day must
be a timing thing. I think if it takes an extra millisecond or two to recycle the app domain, it dumps an entry into the windows event logs and the sccm component status monitoring.

Error message: Host process for windows services stopped

I recently had to install a new hard drive into my laptop. I am running windows vista and have installed all updated drivers. After installing itunes and uploading my backed up library, I went to play a song and I got the error "host process for windows services stopped working and was closed." Movies play fine. I have searched but have not found anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Q I just upgraded to a new mobo and CPU, the EVGA X58 SLi and i7 920, and this issue still persists! That means it is either the sound card or Steam. The drivers on the CD have no issues, only the newer ones do. So by deduction there is something wrong with the new drivers, but I need them to not BSOD in OpenAL!
