Problems Imap

situation:
WinServer 2008 r2
terminal server enabled with outlook
2013
imap email configured on multiple
terminal sessions
if I get an email in the Inbox folder
and move to a folder without opening it
by double-clicking the number of unread messages
in the inbox does not decrease.
The email appears physically
in the folder where you have moved the folder
and the counter increases, while in the Inbox
is "marked" as if it were deleted
or crossed out, but the counter
on the side not dimuisce.
Having multiple clients is a real problem.
Thank you, Antonio

This might be a sync issue between your clients and server as you have multiple clients. I would suggest you first try to adjust the value of
Mail To Keep Offline to "All" in each client. This new feature is called Data Based Sync Slider. This allows you to limit the amount of data that is synchronized locally to your OST.
Here are the steps on how to adjust it:
Go to File tab and click Account Setting to go to
Account Setting dialog.
Select the account that you want to change, and click Change.
Adjust the value of Mail To Keep Offline and make sure that all your clients are set to "All".
After doing that, please try to sync again, and try the same action to see if the issue still persists.

E61 email problems (IMAP)

Hello!
I recently started to use E61's in work and there are several problems with E-mail.
We have company Lotus Domino server (6.5.3) and I want to use E61 for users on trips to have access to the E-mails. I configured 3x E61 for start to check how it works and met serious problems with E-mail.
- 3x E61 configured and working flowlessly
- 2 days later E61#1 one of them stopped to synchronize E-mails (not recieving headers) - strange is that in the server log I can see that device is connected - but no getting any updates... after I got the device in my hand I was only able to say that everything is OK - no settings changed or wrong.... but it is not working..... when I created new email box with SAME settings - it is working without problems .... for 3 days then same symptoms again
- at the same day in E61#2 (actually the one Iam using) defined E-mail box disapeared - in very strange way:
mail box is working (recieving) and is accesable via E-mail key,and via main active screen BUT disapeared under messaging - so it is impossible to chance any settings...
- today I got message from owner of the E61#3 whom is currently in USA that it is not downloading E-mails (and in server log I can see his connections) - so it seems to be same issue as #1 ....
Can someone help me with this?
Also for some weird reason - I cannot subscribe to any different folder then Inbox .... (but it is minor problem comparesd to abovesaid)

That's how an IMAP account works.

Exchange 2013 wildcard certificate - problem IMAP POP Because the matter is not a fully qualified domain name

Hi all, I have an Exchange 2013 SP1, I have installed a third-party SSL certificate and correctly on the server, but when I assign the POP and IMAP services, I see this error
The certificate with thumbprint XXXXXXXXX and subject '*. Xxxx.yyy' can not be used for POP SSL / TLS connections because the matter is not a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). Use the Set-POPSettings X509CertificateName command to set the FQDN of the service.
I tried to run this command and restart the POP and IMAP services
ImapSettings set-ca-server-1-X509CertificateName mail.xxxxx.yyy
POPSettings set-ca-server-1-X509CertificateName mail.xxxxx.yyy
But the POP and IMAP services, the certificate is not assigned.
You know as you can solve

Hi,
Before we go further, I’d like to confirm if you can use POP and IMAP properly.
If everything goes well, we can safely ignore it:
http://www.hsuconsulting.com/wildcard-ssl-certificate-exchange-2013-imap-and-pop-error/
If not, we can try the following commands :
Set-POPSettings -ExternalConnectionSetting {mail.domain.com:995:SSL}
Set-ImapSettings -ExternalConnectionSetting {mail.domain.com:993:SSL}

IMAP Alternate partition problem

IMAP partition problem
IMAP is set so all boxes are on a separate partition ..
and until recently, worked fine.
one day (shortly after 10.4.9 upgrade)
after "rebuilding" an IMAP inbox from Mail.app
everything went down.. and came up again with all IMAP boxes other than INBOX appearing gone
but what happened is that all the accounts suddenly reverted (?) to existing on the default partition (var/spool/imap)
and although the alternate partition still exists and all settings reflect such..
I can't get the accounts back to seeing that partition.
cyradmn does not 'see' boxes on the alt partition.
thus, I cant retrieve some huge folders of stored mail.
in addition, the accounts are unable to create any folders on the current (default) partition and only "inbox" exists (no Sent or Drafts, etc..).
(the error returned : System I/O error)
mail works, can send and receive, .. but how to restore accounts to the alternate partition ??
Ive tried shutting off the account and deleting the user mailbox (on default partition) and turning back on the user.. still creates on the default partition
the accounts still show (in SA and NetInfo record) set to alternate partition..
and imapd.conf still has the partition entry ..
what's up ??

Thanks for the responses ..
yes, actually, I have tried reconstruct from mailbfr (options -o and -m) as well as via cyradm.. and SA
either option succeeds at reconstructing all the boxes fine, and permissions appear to be fine as well..
drwxr-xr-x 4 cyrusima mail - 136B Jun 3 2006 mailstore
mailbfr reports both partitions being operated on ..
my config also appears OK, its the same as has been working flawlessly for over a year :
admins: cyrusimap localadmin
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
unixhierarchysep: yes
altnamespace: yes
servername: mail.mydomain.com
sievedir: /usr/sieve
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
lmtpdowncasercpt: 1
tlscertfile: /etc/certificates/mail.mydomain.com.crt
logrollingdays: 0
logrolling_daysenabled: false
tlskeyfile: /etc/certificates/mail.mydomain.com.key
imapauth_crammd5: yes
imapauthgssapi: yes
popauthclear: no
enable_pop: no
tlscommonname: mail.mydomain.com
tlsserveroptions: use
imapauthlogin: yes
partition-mailstore: /Volumes/path/to/alt-partition
I did notice an odd thing though..
although the boxes are being read from /var/spool/imap
and accounts show "default" partition (in SA)
when I try to create a box (via Mail.app) in IMAP acct..
it fails .. can't so it ..
and the IMAP log shows
imaps[22176]: IOERROR: creating directory /Volumes/path/to/alt-partition: Permission denied
so it appears to want to write to the right place and can't ..
but still reads from the wrong place.
something is amiss !!
where to look next ?

Iphone 5 / iOS 6 IMAP issues

This is a strange one, however I see many people are reporting similar issues.
I just received my iPhone 5 last night and I'm unable to access my primary email accounts on the device via IMAP. After entering and deleting my email account multiple, tried with SSL (how I normally do it) and without SSL, etc... it continues to tell me that I'm entering the wrong username and password. (which I'm possitive is correct as I'm able to log in via webmail with no issues.)
My email accounts are run through a cpanel server, I've alternated between courier and dovecot on the server, no change. Mail logs on the server are showing that I'm getting to the server, my AT&T IP, etc... and that the password is being rejected. I'm wondering if it's doing something which the characters of the password when it trys to pass it to the server.
One addtional note, my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 both updated to iOS 6 on Sept 19th with no problems, IMAP is working normally on those devices. The issue is on my iPhone 5 only.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Joe

I had the same problem today with my iPhone5 and the upgrade to IOS 6.1 over my wireless network. The phone clearly saw the network, just wouldn't accept my password (which I verified in my keychain on my laptop). I reset the network on the phone per other posts, turned Airplane mode on and off, restored my phone. Still no luck. Then I went into my home office and held the phone right next to my airport extreme, and it finally took my password. Now its connected, with same strong signal it always had throughout my house. No idea why that worked but not arguing! Hope that helps.

Exchange 2007 / Outlook 2013 "Your Automatic Reply Settings Cannot Be Displayed Because The Server Is Unavailable"

One of our users is having problems setting replies from Outlook on his local PC. This is an SBS 2008 Server with Exchange 2007. The client PC is running Windows 8 with Outlook 2013. This issue doesn't seem to affect other users but this
is the only client with Outlook 2013.
When trying to set an automatic reply from within Outlook 2013 we get the "Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is unavailable". Outlook seems to be connecting and working fine so connection to the server does
exist.
Trying this same operation from owa works without issue. Please let me know what we need to do to find a solution.
Thanks so much!

Problem:
IMAP downloads inbox don't work after November patches.
If you install a fresh OS and O2K13 unpatched ,the IMAP works fine.
Fully patched O2K10 works fine too.
It worked for my customer until November patch Tuesday broke the IMAP sync.
Consultant opened case.
Response from Microsoft:
        This is with regards to the issue faced by you due to regression         caused by November security update. This is further to inform         you
that fix is out and below is the download links for 32 bit         and 64 bit of the office suites. You need to apply all 3 hotfix.         The crash issue and IMAP issue would get resolved
immediately         while the issue related to Free / Busy and OOF not getting set         would take 24-36 hours to start working once the patch is
applied.

Sieve stopped working

Hi,
I have installed RoundCube a couple of years ago on a Snow Leopard server. All nice and dandy up to today.
Sieve has stopped working and I have spent hours and been unable so far to get it up and running again.
When I run ps aux |grep sieve it is not returning anything to me suggesting that the problem is not with sieve it-self but rather with Dovecot not starting the sieve.
If anyone could give me some leads I can't think of anyting else.
netstat -a |grep 2000 returns
returns nothing
telnet localhost 2000
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying fe80::1...
telnet: connect to address fe80::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
The rest of mail functions not problem (IMAP, SMTP...).
Thanks in advance
Beno

In system.log there is nothing
In sieve logs it just mentions that it cannot log. But since port 2000 isn't listening it's coherent.

Time machine Mail backup size

Hi everybody,
I don't understand why my Time Machine backups are around 1Go every time. Not every hour, but every 2 or 3 backups.
So my TM HD gets quickly full all the time.
I've used BackupLoupe, and I've realized that the problem comes from Mail.
It backs up around 750 Mo all the time.
Mail is set with an imap gmail account.
I've read the same issue here, but the post is archived :
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2205780?threadID=2205780
I've not read the size issue has been solved, so If someone can tell me how.
Thanks a lot,

From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
Select the problem IMAP account, then the Advanced tab in its settings. From the menu labeled
Keep copies of messages for offline viewing
select
Don't keep copies of any messages
If you're not sure which account is involved, take this step in each one.
Another option is to exclude the hidden folder that contains the messages from your backups. You can do that in the Time Machine preference pane.

OAM Access Server - Cannot load cert chain file aaa_chain.pem

Hi experts,
I am in the midst of changing the Transport Layer Security (TLS) of OAM Access Server from Open mode to Cert mode, and encountering the error not able to load aaa_chain.pem.
Below are the steps which I have did:-
1. Change the TLS mode for both Access Server and Webgate from Open >> Cert mode in the Access System console
2. Stop the Access Server from Services
3. From the <access server install dir> run ConfigureAAAServer.exe to generate aaa_req.pem and aaa_key.pem.
4. Copy the certificate request from the aaa_req.pem and submit to Internal CA (Ms CA).
5. Download the Certificate and Certificate Chain in Base 64 encoding, and rename into *.pem. E.g. certnew.cer >> aaa_cert.pem certnew.p7b >> aaa_chain.pem.
6. Copy *.pem files in to <access server install dir>/oblix/config
7. Rerun ConfigureAAAServer.exe to install the cert, all went smoothly without issue.
8. Start Access Server from Services. <<< Service failed to start.
NOTE: I did the same thing for Policy Manager, used genCert.exe to generate certificate request, submit the CA to sign and installed.

I followed through the documentation on OAM Identity & Common Admin - Chapter 8 guide.
Is there anything which I have missed or something to do with the certificate.

No, you didn't do anything wrong, JeanPhilippe. I'm right there with you. There's even another thread on this issue:
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10808126>
I had the same problem: IMAP & POP services would not launch using SSL. Finally got it resolved today. It had nothing to do with certificates and their names, or creating them in openssl, and everything to do with a botched dovecot.conf file, courtesy of Server Admin.
It appears that every time I changed the certificate for IMAP & POP SSL in Server Admin, it appended the new selection to the dovecot.conf file on 3 separate lines. The result was an unhealthy list of every certificate file Server Admin had ever been pointed to for this service.
After making a backup, I edited the file (/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf) down to the single cert file I wanted it to use. It happened to be first in the list, FWIW.
If you want to duplicate this, look for the lines beginning with:
"sslcertfile"
"sslkeyfile"
"sslcafile"
Obviously you need to be careful in there. But I did not even have to bounce the service before it took my changes. Thankfully, Server Admin did not overwrite my edits (which I've seen happen with manual config of other services, such as the iChat service.)
Good luck, and let me know if I can provide more detail.

Gmail 2-step verification: STMP server login fails

After activating 2-step a few days ago I have been very happy. Then I discovered that my MacPro Mail.app can't connect to my Gmail SMTP server (I was using my hosted domain SMTP before).
Symptoms:
My MacBook Pro is a clone of the MacPro, Mail.app connects fine on the MacBook Pro, send/receive IMAP or POP3, (using the same application specific token (AST) which I originally assigned to Mail.app on MacPro). That was a surprise - I expected the MBP to require a new AST distinct from the MacPro Mail.app token.
To make sure all was kosher, I generated a fresh AST for the MacPro Mail.app, updated the settings.
MacPro/Mail.app receives via IMAP, but fails connecting to the SMTP server (which I have updated with the new AST).
Today's further troubleshooting:
(1) I revoked the application specific passwords for Mail.app both Macs, deleted all the associated Keychain entries. Generated new application specific passwords for the MP ==> IMAP send works but the Macpro SMTP server login still fails.
(2) I turned off 2-step verification, changed all Mail.app passwords back to simple pwd. Everything works but SMTP server login fails
(3) In Mail.app I deleted and recreated the account for a *different* Gmail IMAP address. That worked fine, including the associated SMTP login.
This is silly, but there seems to be a curse on one specific smtp.gmail.com login. I have left 2-step verification turned off for the moment until I resolve the SMTP login fault.
If I deleted and recreated the problem IMAP account in Mail.app it would probably fix the problem. But we are in Australia with tight bandwidth caps, I can't afford to redownload 20,000+ emails. And I need them local because we often don't have internet access.

For me, this problem occurs only with Google Apps accounts - these are the ones where you use your own domain e.g. yourdomain.com and not gmail.com.
Wwo-step authentication is disabled on the Google Apps account.
Right click on your mail account name (under Inbox) and click "Edit Account"
Edit the SMTP server list and select the advanced tab.
By default Apple mail only has your user name in the user name field (e.g. user1)
Change this to [email protected] and reenter your password.
I also set the SMTP port to 587
Everything is working fine now

MAIL failure to load after Lion upgrade - can't migrate data

I've posted information in a different forum, but I think that thread is dead so I wanted to post a fresh issue.
Here's the older post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16615578#16615578
Bascially, Mail won't migrate my data and it crashes before fully loading.
Summary from other thread:
- mail finishes inporting messages but then crashes when it hits the migration stage
- same issue after a fresh install and as a fully updated version
- did resert PRAM
- tried tossing Envelope files
- tried tossing V folder
- I tried one work around to test it and it worked, but it's a BAD alternative. I can move my Mail folder out of my library and re-open Mail. This starts with a clean slate. I added my Exchange/IMAP account to test. I'm sure I can import mailboxes one at a time. But I tried moving my signatures and that doesn't work. I may to do this option, but I'm worried that I will lose all the rules I developed over the last 6-7 years (approx?) adn signatures for each account.
- error log is on the link above
I would appreciate some help on this issue before I manually add all my emails. I have 140,000 emails in many folders from the last 10 years and it's not something I want to lose or have disorganize (including rules/signatures).

Problem Solved!
One of my mailboxes must have been corrupt in the migration phase or have some bad data.
Here's what I did to fix my Mail:
- all mail messages loading, but then it crashed during migration. This stage of the installation means that the "Envelope Index" file completes writing and a "V2-Temp.noindex" folder is created. This folder is used to build the mailbox environment.
- I checked the V2temp folder to see what transfered before crash and found that one of my old IMAP accounts was only halfed transferred in the temp folder.
- I tossed Envelope Index (and other "Envelope" named files) and V2-Temp.noindex into the trash
- I tossed the problem IMAP folder in the trash too (well actually to the desktop)
- I tossed out all the CalDAV crap.
- I relaunched and the folders, emails, signatures, rules, accounts all migrated properly after the mail databasr was imported to the new folder "V2"!
- A "Mail Lost+Found" folder was also created that I havent investigated yet.
Coming up next:
- a full backup of Mail!

Unable to create a new family share

I left a family share but now I want to create a new familly share with my husband. Everytime I try to create one its telling my im sharing it with another user. What should i do?

you can try deleting the mail plist file but before you do this I would try it on a different user account. make a new user account, log into it and try setting up that IMAP account there. does it work?
if it does then log back into your main account, quit Mail and delete (or move to the desktop) the file ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. ~ means your home directory. you can get to it by clicking on the house icon in the sidebar of any finder window or by going to /users/username.
then start Mail. you'll have to recreate ALL your email accounts including that problem IMAP account so make sure you know all their settings. once recreated they will recognize their existing mailboxes.

Mail server cannot use certificate because.. the filename is too long ?

Hi,
For some reasons, yesterday, I created a new certificate on our server (XServe with Mac OSX Server 10.6.2) and I assigned this certificate to the mail server. Since then, we are not able to connect to our mail server. We receive an error saying the server cannot open a connection on port 993.
I looked at the mail access log and I think I might have found the cause:
Jan 7 09:20:25 xs1 dovecot[1944]: Fatal: sslcafile: Can't use /etc/certificates/LemieuxBedard.com.264472D0EC029B3194A4B779D2187278189E8352.ch ain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem: File name too long
I don't understand why the name is too long since the previous certificate had a name even longer. Is this a bug that should be corrected on the next update or have-I indeed done something wrong? Right now, I disable the certificate on the mail server and it works. However, I'd really like to use the certificate.
Thanks for any help.

No, you didn't do anything wrong, JeanPhilippe. I'm right there with you. There's even another thread on this issue:
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10808126>
I had the same problem: IMAP & POP services would not launch using SSL. Finally got it resolved today. It had nothing to do with certificates and their names, or creating them in openssl, and everything to do with a botched dovecot.conf file, courtesy of Server Admin.
It appears that every time I changed the certificate for IMAP & POP SSL in Server Admin, it appended the new selection to the dovecot.conf file on 3 separate lines. The result was an unhealthy list of every certificate file Server Admin had ever been pointed to for this service.
After making a backup, I edited the file (/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf) down to the single cert file I wanted it to use. It happened to be first in the list, FWIW.
If you want to duplicate this, look for the lines beginning with:
"sslcertfile"
"sslkeyfile"
"sslcafile"
Obviously you need to be careful in there. But I did not even have to bounce the service before it took my changes. Thankfully, Server Admin did not overwrite my edits (which I've seen happen with manual config of other services, such as the iChat service.)
Good luck, and let me know if I can provide more detail.

Duplicate Mail in 2 mailboxes.

Setting up my new Macbook Pro. I have a Gmail account and set up an IMAP mailbox to accept mail. But I get the same mail in my Inbox in Mail. So I get the same mail in 2 mailboxes. I tried to delete the Gmail mailbox but it would not let me. Is the problem IMAP? I thought on my old MacBook, Gmail was a POP account. Any ideas?

Maybe you have both POP and IMAP enabled at once. Log into your Google Mail account, Settings, then cast a cold eye on the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
