Importing MDaemon email into OSX Leopard Server

I currently use MDaemon email server software on a Win2K server computer to manage my company email. Can Email Services on OSX Leopard import all my old emails from MDaemon? I really want to make the change and dump Win2K forever....but I can't throw away 8 years of carefully organized emails and their subfolders. Is this a problem? Thanks in advance.

Just looking to move about 4 years worth of archived emails for about 12 email accounts. I'm hoping I can merge all our old emails into Leopard Email Service. They are ".msg" files.

  • How do I set up my OSX Leopard Server to host a website?, how do I set up my OSX Leopard Server to host a website?

    I own a small video game store and want to host my own website since I really don't want to spend the money on a hosting plan. I have a old G5 with OS X Leopard Server installed and have spent many countless hours reading tutorials on how to set it up, but none of them simply tell me what exactly to do. I have a very good knowledge of IT and didn't expect to have this much trouble.
    I would like to set up the server to host the website, and also have it be able to do email as well (have a email address like [email protected])
    I bought a domain from godaddy (www.g4uoc.com) , Have my G5 OSX Leopard Server up and running, have my website all built and ready to go, but I don't know how to set anything up. Can someone help me out at all?

    There are numerous walkthroughs and tutorials on this, I'm surprised you couldn't find something.
    Short answer:
    1) dump your web content (HTML files, images, etc.) into /Library/WebServer/Documents
    2) Configure your router to forward connections on port 80 to your server (the specifics will vary depending on your router make/model)
    3) Use GoDaddy's web portal to setup www.g4uoc.com to map to your router's public address.
    You're done. Remote users will lookup www.g4uoc.com on GoDaddy's servers and will get your router's public address. When they try to connect the router will forward the connection to your server which will serve the matching request from /Library/WebServer/Documents/

  • Time Machine backup on OSX Leopard Server, no user logged in

    Hi
    I'd like to use Time Machine to do backups of a Mini running OSX Leopard Server. It has a TimeCapsule connected, which it backs up to fine, at the moment.
    However, I've been wondering, if it still backs up, if no user is logged in? I've been reading a few old tips about making removable drives not dismount, when no user is logged in by adding/modifying a key in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/autodiskmount.plist, setting AutomountDisksWithoutUserLogin to true.
    Is this still nescessary?
    Is TimeMachine actually running when no user is logged in?
    Is it a good idea to set the key, if my users homedirs is on a removable drive too?
    If TimeMachine is NOT the way to do it, which way is the best/smartest?
    Best regards

  • OSX Leopard Server as Parallels/VMWare Virtual Machine in Snow Leopard?

    I'm considering buying OSX Server to use as a virtual machine for testing purposes -- so I can run two different OSX versions at the same time on the same computer. Some questions for anyone who's done this:
    1. Is it working flawlessly (Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion)
    2. Is it officially supported by Apple or only tolerated currently
    3. If this works technically on a Mac, I'm wondering what Apple is doing to block it from working in VMWare on a PC
    4. Will this be forwards compatible:
      A. will I be able to run my Leopard Server VM on my current (Leopard-era) Mac once I upgrade that to Snow Leopard (this is my main point currently)
      B. will I be able to run my Leopard Server VM on some new Mac I buy 3 years from now that may have something different in its firmware -- it certainly wouldn't support Leopard for a native install (this gets back to the OSX Server VM on PC question; I'm concerned about Apple needing to "support" the VM on my hardware for it to work)
    5. Is Leopard the first OSX Server that can be virtualized (without hacking)
    6. In general is OSX Leopard Server "the same" OS as the normal Leopard version, configured with some admin-friendly features, or distinct enough it wouldn't be fully reliable for testing purposes?
    Thanks!

    1. Is it working flawlessly (Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion)
    Yes - at least as much as any VM solution does
    2. Is it officially supported by Apple or only tolerated currently
    Yes, but only for Mac OS X Server 10.5
    3. If this works technically on a Mac, I'm wondering what Apple is doing to block it from working in VMWare on a PC
    There's a slew of technologies at work to ensure that Mac OS X runs on Apple hardware only. That's a whole different discussion. Suffice to say that it doesn't work.
    4. Will this be forwards compatible:
    As much as anything is...
    A. will I be able to run my Leopard Server VM on my current (Leopard-era) Mac once I upgrade that to Snow Leopard (this is my main point currently)
    Sure. Of course, this may require an update from the VM vendor to run under Snow Leopard, but you won't know that until closer to Snow Leopard's release.
    B. will I be able to run my Leopard Server VM on some new Mac I buy 3 years from now
    Hahahaha. No one is going to guarantee you three years of future compatibility on anything you buy today.
    5. Is Leopard the first OSX Server that can be virtualized (without hacking)
    Yes.
    6. In general is OSX Leopard Server "the same" OS as the normal Leopard version, configured with some admin-friendly features, or distinct enough it wouldn't be fully reliable for testing purposes?
    There are some underlying tweaks around things like network management (servers tend to have different networking needs from clients), and several extra processes that aren't in Mac OS X (client), but the underlying code base is the same. As to whether it's 'reliable for testing purposes', that depends on what it is you're testing

  • How: poll POP3 from ISP and feed into OSX mail server (Dovecot)

    Hi all,
    My desire: use IMAP for all my iOS and OSX devices to forget about the synchronization nightmare when using POP.
    My ISP only provides POP3, and I can fetch emails from his POP3 server so they end up in my mail client on any OSX workstation.
    But I want to use IMAP via the Dovecot email server on OSX server mountain lion.
    How do I implement that missing link?
    Can this be done by a cron script, mimicking a MTA?
    Somehow the OSX mailserver cannot be convinced to fetch the emails from the POP3 server at the Internet Server Provider (ISP).
    All the OSX or iOS device connects to my OSX Mountain Lion server running the mailserver (i.e. Dovecot).
    In my private network sending emails and fetching them using IMAP already works fine.
    I am lost on this one. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks already.
    best regards,
    Bolko

    One solution is to use a server based software (i.e. that runs on OS X server) which polls a remote POP3 server and delivers mail to an SMTP server — the Postfix SMTP server on your OS X server (NOT Dovecot, Postfix is the SMTP server which then hands off mail to Dovecot the IMAP on your OS X server)
    This software would have to be installed 'by hand' meaning you have to download the source and compile it as is standard with Linux type utilities.
    Here is link to the utility 'fetchmail'.
    http://fetchmail.berlios.de/index.html
    You may want to confirm with the package maintainers that this would work on OS X. If you are not comfortable working at the level of installing Linux packages then I would advise not to proceed.
    UPDATE: I found this page on the Apple developers website:
    http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/fetchmail.1.html
    it refers to the fetchmail program above so it looks like it runs OK on OS X, but you still have to manually set it up.
    Another option is this software
    http://www.sspi-software.com/mailfwd_macx.html
    I don't have any experience with it personally and I don't know if it can run as a service (that is with no-one logged into the machine).

  • ICal OSX Leopard Server - My Solution!!

    Hello...
    Over the past 5 days I have reinstalled (clean/formatted) Leopard Server 6 times. I thought I was going crazy. Every error that has been seen on iCal (for the most part) I have seen (permission errors, 220 error, missing virtual accounts, no principals, etc, etc). I must have read 300 posts with different possible solutions. Some say you need ODS, and some say no. Some say you need DNS running, and some say not. Just like most of these forum posts, if you fix one error, you will get another one that will eventually stop you in your tracks. So out of respect for all those that have tried before me to get iCal working, I would like to offer what worked for me.
    Here is the scenario. I have a small office - 10 users (all Mac). They want to share calendars (no group calendars here). OSX 10.5.2 Server on a Mac Mini. That's it... all I have asked for (for 5 days now) is a simple working sharable calendar system.
    Here you go - this is what I know works.
    1) New install of OSX Server 10.5 (in my case 10.5.2) - Erase drive and install
    2) Installed as a Standard (yes I said standard server option)
    3) DNS hostname at time of install is made up (this company has no domain) - so i set it to server.madeupdomain.com (remember the domain does NOT exist anywhere - it is just to get past the hostname validation during install). Make sure to enable iWeb and iCal of course.
    4) Once the server is installed, I built my subscribers
    5) By default, iCal and iWeb are enabled.
    6) I DID NOT INSTALL the 10.5.3 upgrade!!!!!! On the other 5 installs, I DID install 10.5.3 and could never get iCal working.
    7) Open up iCal and there should already be a CalDev calendar built under the server name. (there was for me anyway). I went into the account, selected server settings and changed the host and domain for the Account URL to the IP address of the server (this is all that I changed). So my Account URL now looks like this: http://ipaddress:8008/principals/uids/83xxxxxxxxxx....
    8) Under Delegation, I added users under Manage Access to My Account
    9) I went to the user's client iCal, and clicked on Calendar / Subscribe and put in: http://ipaddress*:8008/calendars/users/*username/calendar/
    10) the calendar subscribed and I was able to see the calendar and make changes.
    Keep in mind that this is all that the client wanted. So, this is what I know worked for me. Good Luck... in my opinion skip 10.5.3 if you can... and we can all say a prayer for 10.5.4.

    How big is the volume you're sharing.
    Most Windows systems have problems with very large volumes (>2TB)). If your volume is larger than this limit then it may appear with incorrect size/space available.
    I believe there are versions of Samba that support >2TB volumes, but I haven't check what version Apple ship in Leopard.

  • Trying to import Entourage Emails into Apple Mail

    I recently purchased a new Mac (Mountain Lion) and am trying to import the emails from my old Mac. I was previously using Entourage but I want to import them into Apple Mail.
    My old Mac will not restart but I have a copy on time machine. I think I have located the correct folder (and have copied it to my desktop):
    My User Name/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/Main Identity/Database
    However, when I click on the Import Mailboxes option in Apple Mail, it only gives me the following options:
    Apple Mail, Netscape/Mozilla, Thunderbird, Eudora, Files in mbox format.
    Does anybody have any ideas on how to proceed?
    Many thanks
    Claire

    One method which is manual is as follows.
    With the Apple Address Book and Entourage address book launched and both positioned so each is partially visible, select the Address Book "All" Group.
    Select a contact in the Entourage address book and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Select All to select/highlight all Entourage contacts.
    Click and drag all selected/highlighted contacts to the Address Book Name column for the "All" Group and release.
    After selecting all Entourage contacts, you can also try Edit > Copy.
    Select the Name column for the Address Book "All" Group and at the Address Book menu bar, go to Edit and select Paste.

  • Migrating users from SBS 2003 to OSX leopard Server

    Hello All,
    We are preparing to migrate away from SBS2003 to an OSX server setup.
    Currently all clients are mac with a few bootcamped PC's onto the macintosh hardware.
    We will be using kerio to migrate the mail off from exchange.
    My question is if there is a way to move the current users home folders on SBS to the mac server ala replication, i heard you could make the mac server a DC and then demote it to standalone ? is this possible or does everything have to be 'built from scratch' im assuming of course EVERYTHING is reliant on OSX leopard servers DNS being setup correctly from the get go.
    Any help / tips/ cavaets / would be a huge help.

  • Need help--cannot import hotel.dmp into chinese characterset server

    I'm from china.Because my oracle8i use
    chinese characterset, so I cannot import
    this file into my oracle.
    Has anybody can help me?
    Thanks you very much!!

    I seem to recall that SQL*Loader was capable of doing these kinds of language translations for you. You needed to account for machine language, character set, and datatype all of which could be manipulated either via FTP parameters when a file was transferred (tell ftp not to convert between machine languages, tell sqlloader the machine language being used, tell it the character set, etc.) I found examples of this by scouring the internet for sqlloader examples, but unfortunately I no long have then handy.
    Good luck.

    AFAIR, the use program is not the issue the format it is. I once used MH files from sylpheed via Evolution. A complex symlinksystem made it possible.
    kmail user maildir as default. So just look for maildir to mbox converters usually available as command line tools. AFAIR the was aproject on sourceforge. But also look if kmail just includes an exporter for mbox. Just make sure you backup things before.

  • "Importing" table-comments into an existinting server model with a text file

    Hello
    i have redesigned a database with the "capture design" tool - server model and
    server model diagramm is ok.
    Now, i want add many table- and column-comments into the server model.
    I wrote these comments with the "comment on table..." and "comment on column...."-command (in uppercase mode)
    into a scriptfile and tried, to "import" this scriptfile with the "capture design" ==> "server model" ==> "DDL-Files".
    The designer said "Processing Complete: 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)". But if i look in the server model or in the
    server model diagramm....nothing happened.
    Has anyone an idea?
    regards

    Aha, we're onto something here + I've just been reading the thread with +75 replies that's currently on the front screen which seems to be related though not entirely.
    OK the original filename was Renting Checklist.txt with a space, I deleted the space and renamed it Renting_Checklist.txt, made it the only attachment to a new email and sent from my ISP email account to my gmail account and it went fine.
    So that's why then but it's strange that it went when it was attached on an email with another attachment (whose filename didn't contain spaces or special characters). Does this sound tied in with the similar problems that others are having? It ought to be worthy of a fix, I can't tell when this problem started because I haven't had cause to send an email with a text attachment that had spaces in the filename.

  • Mac Mini, OSX Leopard Server: Won't Boot

    I have a Mac Mini Server that 's been stable and connected to my home network wirelessly.
    But the signal strength has been so-so.
    So I added an Airport Express Modem in my system and installed the adminstrative CD that came with it.
    The Mini saw everything and set up the Airport Express fine and it worked great...for about 3 minutes.
    I was checking  the speed when it became non-responsive. I shut it down and tried rebooting, and the loading ball spun and spun and spun and did nothing.
    I tried rebootijng from a regular OSX Disk and it was non-responsive.
    I got it into diagfnostic mode, got a diagnostic screen showing me everything was working, but it still only shows a spinning ball forever and won;t boot.
    Using an external DVD, tried using the administrative disk, but I also couldn;t get into it.
    No matter what I've tried, the "loading ball" spins and spins and spins...and won't actually load anything.
    Ideas, suggestions? I HATE to hit the genius's this time of year..IT'll take FOREVER!!!

    Smells of a low-level hardware failure.
    I'd usually suggest ordering a spare Mac Mini Server, and rolling in your backup, but Leopard is a very long time ago and jumping to Lion is going to be involved.  Which leaves you to scrounge something old enough to run Leopard or Snow Leopard, and moving to that.
    Or you get to brave the local Apple store, yes.
    If you don't have good backups of your disk, stop working with the server Right Now, as - if this is a disk-level error - further activity on a failing device tends to reduce the likelihood of eventually recovering the data.

  • How can I get imported Outlook email into folders in mail?

    I am a longtime PC user with email and calendar in MS Outlook (finally) converting to an iMac.  I used the Migration Assistant to transfer my old PC email to new iMAC running OSX Lion via ethernet.  On the old PC, I have ~15 years of stored emails in a *.pst file, organized by folders.  I want to retain that file structure to organize older email (but retain it on hard drive for later access) in mail on the iMac.  For example, I get an email confirmation of an online order, I move it to a folder called "Money" in case I have any problems with the item or need ot figure out how long since I purchased something for warranty.  After the migration I have 1,984 messages in my inbox on the iMac.
    Two apparent problems: 
    1) Everything is in one folder.  I don't want to have to refile all this stuff again.  How do I get an intact folder structure imported to iMac email from Outlook 2000 *.pst file?
    2)  I don't think the migration moved everything form the old pst.  It took more than inbox, but not enough to be all the emails.  To avoid duplications, should I scrub the iMAC mail clean before any steps to achieve 1 above?  If so how do I remove the emil imported the first try to iMac?
    Be gently, true newbie status here.  Learning the iMac slowly - but can't go for long without email.....

    Hi. I have a similar issue. Migration assistant seems to have pulled in all my email accounts (6) correctly and also the mails that were sat in those inboxes. However, the entire folder structure (where I would drag and drop) has not migrated and nor (it seems) the email contained within. I also have a .pst (which is not corrupted on the PC) and is not huge. So I would like to move all my history across. I don't particularly care about the folder structure but I do, of course, want all of my history transferred.
    Is there any easy way to do this? Otherwise all I can think of is moving all emails on my PC from the folders to an inbox in Outlook, unarchiving the .pst emails and then doing the email migration all over again.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Installing Mac OSX Leopard Server 10.6 on a Mac Air

    Hi
    Im trying to install Mac OSX Server 10.6 on a Mac Air which have Lion developer preview 4 on it, i try to install from
    a .dmg file thats stored in the downloads folder when it runs it give me a message "resturt to begin installation" with a
    restart button, i click it and then computer restarts and nothing happens why ?
    also the server file is big 7 GB so i failed to burn it on dvd or copy to external hard disk and install from there

    You will want to use a external double-layer (DL) DVD disk that you've recorded, or use an external disk configured to boot the distro.
    Also make a full backup of your boot disk before you load this, as there is no "downgrade" option to get back to whatever version of Snow Leopard client you might be using on the box.
    Please (also) read the HT4313 support article.
    And for completeness...
    This particular configuration isn't supported by Apple.
    Mac OS X Server doesn't "like" DHCP addressing, and that can be common on portables.

  • Importing Yahoo emails into contacts list

    I have 3 Yahoo email accounts. There are different email addressess saved in each account since they are used for different things.  Some of the email addresses are saved into the contacts app on my iphone 4s (where the phone numbers are) but there are a few missing. When I go into mail, obviously they are all there. I just don't know how to actually get them all into the contact list where you also keep phone numbers. Under settings, mail etc the contacts slider button is on for all 3 accounts.
    I hope I'm making sense!

    go to   settings > mail contacts and calandars ,  then select each account and verify whether the slider for contacts is turned on
    Hop that helps
