Slow mail server vs. amount of messages

Hi,
I notice that when a user on the system accumulates a lot of messages, like maybe 100 mb or so of space, logging into IMAP takes forever, as long as 2 minutes. But when this user's account is cleaned out, it works instantly again. Is there anyway to prevent this?

Issue /usr/share/squirrelmail/config/conf.pl
Not sure if this is your issue, but worth trying:
Select "4. General Options" and make sure server side sorting is not disabled.

  • Can MoveUser move a user's mailbox from an installation of Mail Server 2.X to Messaging Server 3.X?

    Can MoveUser move a user's mailbox from an installation of Mail
    Server 2.X to Messaging Server 3.X?
    <P>
    Yes.
    The 2.x server allows the postmaster to login to a user's account.
    Try running MoveUser as follows:
    MoveUser -u uid -s host -xPostmaster:uid -p password
    -d desthost -a proxyuser -v proxypassword -m mailboxpath
    Notes:
    Mail Server 2.x uses a local database and not an LDAP server
    for account information. The -l option
    specify ldap URL and the associated bindDN password,
    therefore, are not valid when moving from
    Mail Server 2.x to Messaging Server 3.x.
    "Postmaster:" is case sensitive.
    The -a and -v options are for Messaging Server 3.x
    ProxyAuthUser credentials.
    We do NOT allow this login to a 3.x server
    (use PROXYAUTH instead).

    One last thought. I installed this with this on my network at home and I now have it disconnected from the network. So no IP address for the adapter and I wonder if that can cause a problem with Apache?

  • What does this mean? The mail server responded: Too many messages. Please check the message and try again.

    I use BT yahoo mail with Thunderbird 24.6.0 in the last few days i've started getting this message when sending messages:
    An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Too many messages. Please check the message and try again.
    Now sometimes the messages are sent anyway and sometimes not. If I re-send sometimes it works and sometimes not. I've contacted BT 'tech support' who tell me there is nothing wrong with them or their servers and as webmail works ok they won't help. I strongly suspect it IS a BT issue, Any clues to fix this?

    The message means BT are lying basically. I have just spent the best part of an hour on chasing what limits BT place on mail sending... the internet contains a void.
    The closest thing I can locate is a BT rep here https://community.bt.com/t5/Email/E-Mail-message-limit/m-p/1045228/highlight/true#M17523 refusing to identify what limits they impose but advising their switch to critical path has more stringent controls. AFAIK Critical path is ca mail software solution sold by OpenWave Messaging http://owmessaging.com/
    So your paying for a totally undefined service. Congratulations!

  • Get mail server to resend a message.

    Could anyone tell me how to get a mail server to resend a message. I occasionally get messages that seem to be corrupt and would like to have them resent to my inbox in hopes they will be received correctly. I have another mail account (AOL) where the messages seem to come through as expected. I want to quit using AOL but not until I have confidence in Mail

    Mark,
    When Forwarding an Email as an Attachment do this simple step before forwarding:
    With the suspect mail selected:
    1. Hit CMD-SHIFT-H to reveal the header information,
    2. Then Foraward as an Attachment and the header information will be included.
    I just tried this with 5 different mails and when you double click the icon of the attached mail that resides on your forwarding mail, you can reveal the complete original header information of the suspect mail - it is identical to the original - word for word. 
    Perhaps when you just Forward as an Attachment without opening the header first you might lose that data, but if you follow the steps above, it works fine.
    I should add that this works on the Mac, not sure about iPad.

  • Mail server fails to deliver message. Port 25 times out

    I have a .mac account, my ISP is telecable.es.
    Can't send any messages, they stay in out box. I receive following error message: "The outgoing mail server mail.telecable.es failed to deliver this message. The connection to server "mail.telecable.es" on port 25 timed out"
    I've already tried port 587, it doesn't work either.
    Any help available?
    Thanks in advance,
    Don Guillermo

    OK, that helps narrow things down. What you may need to do is enable password for logon. When I am in Canada my ISP is Shaw Cable. However, my email server is in the US. In the US when connected to my cable ISP I have no problem connecting to my email servers. However, Shaw Cable in Canada does not permit remote use of another mail server to send mail. So in order to use the SMTP server of my US hosted account I must use my username and password when using my US SMTP mail server.
    Open Mail preferences, click on Accounts icon in the toolbar, then select your account and click on the Account Information tab. In the drop down menu at the bottom select "Edit the list." Select your SMTP server for your .Mac mail account (smtp.mac.com, I think.) Click on the Advanced tab, then select Password in the Authentication drop down menu. Enter you .Mac username and password. See if this works.
    If the above doesn't work, then you need to try assigning the SMTP server address of your telecable provider (I don't know if you also need to enable authentication) and select this server as the SMTP server for your .Mac mail account.

  • Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud.  I have verified the settings.  I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

    Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
    This is a long-time problem.  I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
    I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network.  Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
    "The server returned the error:  The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
    Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
    Well, you get the idea …

    Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
    iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
    The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)

  • "mail" server access info and messages deleted

    Earlier today through an errant instruction, the server access info for Mail 4.6 was inadvertently deleted.  This process also deleted all the messages viewable in
    Mail's mailboxes: In/Sent/Trash !
    From Time Machine, I restored the server access information and the deleted messages!
    All of the restored messages now appear as nnnn.emix (as expected) in Home/Mail/POP email address/INBOX.mbox/messages.  Similarly for Sent Messages & Deleted Messages.
    However, only new messages since restore appear in Mail!!!  The restored messages do not appear (although they appear as nnnn.emix in Finder)!
    What am I missing here?

    WOOPS!
    My statement above about seeing current messages in Mail is only "partially correct."  I find that if I close out Mail... then reopen the program, the messages that were there have disappeared... and, they've similarly disappeared from the nnnn.emix files in Finder!
    So... something is clearly amiss! 

  • Mail server bounce problem.

    Since I upgraded to Yosemite my mail server is now bouncing messages.  When a message is sent to my server it returns with the following (tested with gmail).  I've no clue where to check to fix this problem.  From what I can see the postfix configuration file is correct, the dns settings seem correct, and the aliasmaps seem correct.  Any pointers would be most welcome.
    This is the mail system at host org.
    I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
    be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
    For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.
    If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
    delete your own text from the attached returned message.

    It turns out it isn't.  I ended up on the phone with Apple Support about this for a bit today, and as a check she had me put the Server App in the trash, and then move /Library/Server/Mail/Config to  /Library/Server/Mail/Config.bak.  When I copied Server App back over after that, it rebuilt Postfix's configuration and fixed the issue.

  • Mail on OSX 10.7.5  has incoming mail server field grayed out

    Trying to configure my iCloud email using Mail in OSX10.7.5   and in the settings the field for incoming mail is grayed out, yet every time I try to save to exit that window, it gives me an error message that it needs an incoming mail server.  Can't enter it because I can't get into the field, which is showing po2-imap.mail.me.com     Any thoughts on how to remedy?

    I tried this and it entered the same info that was there and the incoming mail server field is still grayed out and I still get the "The incoming mail server cannot be empty" message when I go to exit the iCloud account window.

  • Outgoing Mail server Problems

    I have added my AOL accounts to my Mail app and it was working just fun, but all of a sudden when I tried to send mail from those addresses, this thing comes up:
    <<Cannot send from this server.
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.>>
    What's going on? Now it just puts everything in the outbox until I get it sorted. Thanks!

    Do you have attachments on any of the mail you are sending?
    The mail message might be too big or the server is busy with sending other messages or receiving mail- this could be why you are getting the “try a different outgoing mail server”
    I get this message on and off for no reason-

  • Send E-Mail over two different Mail Server ?

    I successfully configured E-Mail in HTML DB according to the How-To "Send E-Mail from HTML DB Applications".
    There's one point in our environment that is a little bit special. The HTML DB application should work for two companies. So it works for company A because every message is sent to the corresponding Mail Server. Of course messages to company B are rejected because the Mail Server of company A is not configured to accept these messages ( relaying denied... ). Is this a Mail Server administration issue or is there a possibility to implement an if then else functionality for Mail Server in HTML DB ?
    Thanks Tobias

    htmldb_mail supports a single mail server per htmldb instance. if you want to call different mail servers, consider sending the emails via your own calls to utl_smtp. there's a pretty simple example of that code at...

  • Mail won't recieve new messages

    Last week MAIL stopped receiving new messages. All the account info is correct, it's connected to the internet and it will still send messages. The new messgaes are there if I log onto the webmail, and they still bounce to my blackberry...but not in MAIL.
    The only cause I can think of is that last week the hard drive was filled to capacity and that when MAIL stopped getting the new messages. I quickly cleared up 20GB of space but still no mail. Could the lack of free space have corrupted the MAIL program's abilty to get new messages?
    Any ideas of what I can do?

    Who is your ISP or email account provider for this account?
    If a message cannot be successfully sent by the Mail.app for whatever reason, the message will remain in the Outbox mailbox. A message moved to the account's Sent mailbox is an indication the message was successfully sent.
    Open a recent sent message that was reported by the recipient as not being received and at the menu bar, go to View > Message and select Long Headers.
    If there is text next to the Message ID field such as:
    Message-Id: <[email protected]>
    This is another indication the message was sent.
    You can contact your ISP or email account provider for the account and provide them this Message-Id number or they may have you forward them this sent message with long message headers for the sent message shown. Your ISP or email account provider for this account should be able to trace the message to it's final destination.
    For the most part, a successfully sent message is either accepted or rejected by the recipient's incoming mail server. If rejected for whatever reason, you will receive a return email bounced error message from the recipient's incoming mail server indicating why the message was rejected. Other than that, this indicates the message was accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server and what happens to the message after that is beyond your control.
    Regarding the receiving problem, quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded. Delete the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file (which may have become corrupt when you didn't have adequate free hard drive space) and empty the Trash.
    Launch Mail and if successful, any previously downloaded messages that remain on the server will be downloaded again by Mail along with any new messages available on the server not yet downloaded.

    Hi all,
    Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings.  I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name.  This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
    Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues.  Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve:  incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors.  If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
    First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out".  When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine.  I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices...  But use your own judgment.  I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
    Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system.  When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button.  When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address.  I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
    Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem).  Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily.  This has happened to me on numerous occasions.  Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day.  Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
    Hope that helps some of you!

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!
