Strange behavior of entourage with shared IMAP folders

Hi the list,
I have a strange behavior with entourage 11.2.5 with shared IMAP folders. Here's what I'd like to do :
All this has to do with spamassassin and spamtrainer. Some of our mails accounts are IMAP ones, but most are POP only and I don't want them to be IMAP. But I also want both IMAP and POP users to have some IMAP access to shared mailboxes for spam and ham to be learned. For those who are using IMAP accounts, that's not a problem with shared mailboxes. But, considering those with only POP accounts, I decided to create a dedicated user called anti_spam, using IMAP access, with two mail boxes that are spam and non_spam, so that all POP users could share this account.
Using SirAdmin, I set l/p/i ACL rights for anyone and the same for anti-spam user so that mail can't be read back with this shared account. Everything just works fine with Mail, but it doesn't work with Entourage. I set up an IMAP account for anti_spam to get an access to shared mailboxes even if main account is a POP one. Everything's fine except I can't write anything on mailboxes : I get an error 1025 and a denied access for writing. The only way to get write access to these mailboxes is to add "r" ACL to them with SirAdmin, which is NOT the solution as it would allow anybody to read mails. It's obvious it has more to do with Entourage than OS X mail service, all the more trying the same conf in Thunderbird is OK as expected.
I was just wondering if somebody here would have some idea of what could be wrong ...

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has a solution too as am having the same problem of not being able to write to IMAP mailboxes.

10.6 mail server shared IMAP folders not working on 10.9 apple mail

So we thought we upgrade a MBPro to 10.9 for some testing and low and behold, we already encountered a serious problem... well, at least for us.
We operate a 10.6.8 mail server which also hosts shared IMAP folders, to which team members subscribe on a per project basis.
Unfortunately, in Apple Mail v7.0 we can now no longer subscribe to individual IMAP folders it simply shows all and does not allow for individual folders to be deselected.
We realise it is early days, but it seems like a massive oversight to not detect such a bug....?

Unfortunately. the latest Apple Mail update (version 7.0, build 1822) still does not resolve this.
We are really hoping that this gets resolved soon, as the obivous direct problem is that Apple Mail 7.0 downloads all emails in Public IMAP folders will result in massive problems for all Macs with limited HD capacity, e.g. for all our laptop users with SSDs.
Btw. the same applies to KERIO 8.2 based solutions... http://forums.kerio.com/t/25890//

Sharing IMAP folders

Does OSX Mail Services allow for common shared IMAP folders between users. I am hoping to allow a number of users to share mboxes in order to allow them access to the entire project email and eliminate constant cc'ing and forwarding of email.
I have read on other discussions that this is possible with IMAP but I have not concluded that Mac's Mail will do so.
Any assistance would be greatly appreicated.
Ryan.

Sure, easist way is SirAdmin:

Strange behavior of system with enabled FileVault2, Roaming profile

Hello,
I have encountered strange behavor of my Macbook Air after some testing.
Macbook Air 2012 was newly installed with 10.8.4 and joined network account server on 10.8.4 server with Roaming profile (synced with server home directory). After installing some basic apps like iWork I turned on FileVault.
Then I start to have the strange behavior - iWorks are not displaying content of document - it seams blank - just white screen without any borders where should be at least lines in numbers or empty cells.
Another display problem is in Safari. On same pages (even default Top SItes) it`s flashing and especially when scrolling.
Did you encountered something similar? I`m not able to get rid of it.
Computers was used for some time before turining on FIle Vault and problem started to occur after this action. Disabling of FileVault didn`t helped (properly restarted between steps).
I didn`t found anything strange in Console or elsewhere..

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

How do I set up shared IMAP folders?

Does anyone know how to add a shared IMAP folder on a client machine so that it appears in their Mail account? I'm doing some support for a small company that has its own 10.5 Mail server in-house. Three of the users in the office are able to access a shared IMAP folder (it's just the sent mail from another user's account). Now the owner wants me to set up the other two clients in the same way but i don't know how the original three were set up. The icon on the correctly configured client machines shows a gray folder instead of the usual blue. I thought it might be a subscription, but the folder I want to subscribe to doesn't show up as an option when I go to the Subscription List (by right-clicking on any IMAP folder on any given client account). Do I have to delegate who has authorization by adding permissions to the account that is doing the sharing? I poked around in the WGM and the Mail service but didn't see anything relevant...

well, you can use cyradmin to take a look at the other shared folders on the server side without changing anything. i'm going to guess that's the way the shared folder was setup in the first place.
of course, this begs the question: why does this client/company share 45 gb of sent mail in this fashion, and how could they better use technology and/or resources for their needs?
it sounds like yet another gross misuse of mail standards. just because you can share that huge pile of mail data doesn't mean you should.

Strange behavior when compiled with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition

I wrote a program for Berkeley DBXML 2.2.13 on Windows XP that executes a query 5 times and prints out the runtime for each execution. When I run the program using the Debug version of the libraries the queries take about the same time to execute for all 5 executions. When I run the program using the Release version of the libraries the execution time of the queries degrades significantly between each execution. One query takes 2 seconds to execute the first time and 20 to execute the last. I have tried recompiling the Release version without optimization and the strange behavior persists. I have run both the Release and Debug versions several times and gotten the same results, so I doubt it is a program running in the background that is slowing the execution.
This behavior does not happen when I compile the program under Unbuntu using g++, so I assume it is caused by some flag set in the Release version of Visual C++. Has anyone else experienced this behavior and know what flags I should or should not set?
Thanks for your time.

Strange behavior when resizing with 'Selection Tool'

Hello,
I have a really strange issue when using selection tool to resize object. I have several rectangles stacked and grouped inside a layer. When I select one of them (either in Layer panel or with Group selection tool) and switch to 'Selection Tool (V)' to resize it, this tool behaves diferently at diferent zoom levels. Only at 200% zoom it behaves as it shoul.. With 100-150% zoom result is diferent - like there's a invisible box around selected object and I'm resizing it.. I've tried to explain the issue in attached image.. Anyone knows why is this happening?
Thanks.

- make new document, size 16383x16383px
- create rectangle any width, hight say 200px (or anything less then 320px for 5% zoom)
- select rectangle and show bounding box
- try resizing hight by stretching bounding box
- this is how same selection looks at diferent zoom levels
- same zoom level as befor, hight 100px..

Strange behavior Lion SMB with Vista clients

Hi,
I have a problem with the SMB server in Lion. The configuration is as followes:
- Server: Lion Server (10.7.1) on Mac Mini
- Clients: Mixed, WinXP/Vista/7, 10.6/10.7
Problem:
Vista client have a problem with the SMB shares on Lion.
When I add for example a new folder, in explorer the folder shows up as "ew Folder" instead of "New Folder".
When I try to change the name of the created folder, Windows report it can't find the folder. When I refresh the explorer, the foldername is correct.
It also occurs when creating new files, change files, etc.
It only happens on the Windows Vista client, on Windows XP/7 I have no problems with it.
I can reproduce the problem. On a clean install of 10.7 server and Win Vista the problems exists.

Even after 10.7.2 Server upgrade the problem described byJeroen still remain.
Did someone has a Windows Vista client machine that write files and folders correctly to an SMB share on Lion?
When I say correctly i mean with correct name (example: in my network vista machine can write in SMB share on Lion, but when we add a new folder, this news folder is shown with "ew Folder" instead of "New Folder. Only refreshing explorer we can see the real correct folder name).
This problem doesn't affect ours XP and Vindows 7 clients that are working very well.
Any ideas and solutions?
thanks

Strange behavior of JTable with TableCellRender.

Hi, all!
i am creating a graphic application using Swing. i wanna use a single column table to display list of pictures.
JScrollPane tablePane = new JScrollPane();
TableValues tv = new TableValues(TableValues.TYPE_FRAME);
JTable picTable = new JTable(tv);
picTable.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
TableColumnModel tcm = picTable.getColumnModel();
TableColumn tc = tcm.getColumn(0);
tc.setCellRenderer(new PicRender());
tablePane.setViewportView(picTable);
this.getContentPane().add(tablePane);
When i run the code, the JTable seems refreshing the cells at all the time! (And i did not click anything or move the cursor above the table).
and CPU time runs as high as 99%!
Please help. Thank you in advance.
the following is my TableCellRender:
public class PicRender extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer {
static Border selectedBorder = BorderFactory.createBevelBorder(BevelBorder.RAISED, Color.magenta, Color.magenta);
static Border unselectedBorder = BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder();
static int counter = 0;
public PicRender() {
super();
System.out.println("Creating label");
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int col) {
try {
TableValues tv = (TableValues) table.getModel();
BufferedImage image = tv.getPic(row);
int imageHeight = image.getHeight();
int imageWidth = image.getWidth();
Icon icon = new ImageIcon(image);
//setIcon(icon);
setText("#" + row);
setToolTipText(tv.getToolTip(row));
table.setRowHeight(row, imageHeight + 10);
setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
if(isSelected) {
setBorder(selectedBorder);
}else{
setBorder(unselectedBorder);
catch (Exception ex) {
setIcon(null);
setText("Thumbnails N/A");
System.out.println("Paint: " + row + "\t" + (++counter));
return this;
* The following methods copied from Sun's DefaultTableCellRender.java.
* Overridden for performance reasons.
public void validate() {}
public void revalidate() {}
public void repaint(long tm, int x, int y, int width, int height) {}
public void repaint(Rectangle r) {}
protected void firePropertyChange(String propertyName, Object oldValue,
Object newValue) {
// Strings get interned...
if (propertyName == "text") {
// super.firePropertyChange(propertyName, oldValue, newValue);
public void firePropertyChange(String propertyName, boolean oldValue,
boolean newValue) {}

It is probably related to the fact that you are setting the tables row height in the renderer this will fire a render message when the height changes. One height is applied to all rows of a table. This means that is you have images of different heights you are continually changing the tables row height and therefore continually rendereing.
My approach would be to have all the images fit into a set size ( say 64*64 ( with scaling if neccesary ) you could then have a popup show the full size image if required.

Strange behavior with Zoom and Image control

HELP - I have a strange behavior (bug?) with using Zoom
effect on an Image that has been placed on a Canvas. I am using
dynamically instantiated images which are placed on a canvas inside
a panel. I then assign a Zoom IN and Zoom Out behavior to the
image, triggered by ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT effect triggers. THE BUG
is that the image jumps around on the Zoom OUT and lands on a
random place on the canvas instead of coming back to the original
spot. This is especially true if the mouse goes in and out of the
image very quickly. HELP -- what am I doing wrong? Computer = Mac
OS X 10.4.9 Flex 2.0.1
Here's a simple demo of the bug -- be sure to move the mouse
in and out rapidly:

There must be bugs in the Zoom effect code -- I changed the
Zoom to Resize in the above code, and it works perfectly. Of
course, Resize is not as nice as Zoom because you can't set the
resize to be around the center of the image, but at least it works.
Does anyone know about bugs in the Zoom effect?

After Tiger to Leopard conversion shared user folders stopped working

Hi,
Today i updated our mailserver to leopard. This server is also the OD master. Directly updated to 10.5.1 to have the latest bugfixes. Most things seem to work ok, but somehow our shared folders are not visible anymore. Checked the rights on them with cyradm and those are still good. When opening the account in thunderbird i can see the boxes but i cannot select them (can chose to subscribe / unsubscribe though). Has anybody else experienced this or know the answer to this problem?
Best regards,
Eelco

since i am testing leopard server with tiger and leopard clients i just noticed this problem seems somehow related to mail 3.1 accessing IMAP ACLs differently to mail 2.x, as tiger client to leopard server works fine in picking up shared imap folders.
result: atm assigning ACLs individually seems to be the only way to share imap folders... ;0(
any ideas on how to make group ACLs work again would be highly appreciated.

Mail (v5.0) doesn't sync IMAP folders

Hi,
Since I upgraded my mac from SL to Lion, I've a big problem with Apple Mail. It doesn't sync any of the folders of my IMAP Account except the INBOX. I tried several things
deleted the whole /mail/ folder in the library
created a new user account on my mac and tried it there with my mail account
tested it on the mac of my brother (then we saw, that he has the same problem like me)
everytime there was the same result, I see the mails in my inbox, but I don't see any folder of my mailaccount.
My folderstructure (which I see in Thunderbird or in the webinterface) is build like this:
Inbox
    folder a
    folder b
    folder c
draft
junk
sent
trash
folder 1
folder 2
folder 3
But in Mail I only see:
Inbox
(no sent, no draft, etc.)
I tried to search through the board, but I didn't find a proper solution for this problem. I hope that you can help me.
Thanks
Florian

My missing folders problem has been solved. I'm not sure if both of these steps are needed because in my desire to get a fix, I tried them both back to back without letting Mail syncronize between. They are easy enough to do, so I'd try them both unless you desire to tease apart what's going on.
These steps were suggested at another forum for solving an issue with missing IMAP folders.
The first step I did was to log into my Excahnge Server email account via the web portal and created a new folder called "NewFolder" as a subfolder in an already existing folder (not the inbox). [This is the step described in the other forum, but the directions were not too clear, so I decided to try the next step in case that is what they were talking about.]
Next, I went into Mail 5.0 and selected New Mailbox... in the Mailbox menu and selected the Excahnge Server email account, and created a folder named "Newer Folder".
After clicking OK, all of the missing Exchange folders appeared under the account name in the Sidebar.
Just to be sure everything was synced, I expanded and shift-selected all of the folders and the selected "Rebuild" in the Mailbox menu. When that was done, then for good measure, I selected "Synchronize" in the Mailbox folder and chose the Exchange Server account.

How can I rearrange IMAP folders with multiple accounts in Mail?

Hi all,
I switched to the Mac in 2004, but I've never really used Mail (been using Entourage). I set up an IMAP account in Mail, and was very impressed. So I decided to set up my other IMAP account, too. Now things are a bit messed up. I have these folders
Inbox
Drafts
Sent
Junk
Trash
Email1
Email2
Under Email1 and Email2 are all the IMAP folders for the respective email address, except Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Junk and Trash are separate, and each of those folders has a folder in it called Email1 and one called Email2. How can I change this so that I just ahve the Email1 and Email2 folders, and everything appears under those?
On a less important note, is there any way to make Mail ignore IMAP folders? My email server creates a folder called '.mailboxes' for each IMAP account, and just stores some of its information in there, nothing I want in Mail. So is there a way I can hide this .mailboxes folder?
Thanks in advance

Hi mr max pie whatever.
This is actually one of Mail’s best features and cannot be changed.
Instead of grouping mailboxes by account, Mail groups them by purpose first (and uses the account name to differentiate the individual mailboxes associated with each account), then groups by account the remaining mailboxes that don’t belong to any of the standard groups.
This has the advantage of letting you choose at any time, and independently for each mailbox type, whether you want to look at your Inbox, Sent, Trash, etc. mailboxes as if you had just one of them shared by all accounts (i.e. an aggregate), or look at each of the corresponding individual mailboxes separately.
As to the “.mailboxes” folder that you’d rather not see there, I believe Mail shouldn’t show it if the name begins with a period. Moreover, I’ve troubleshooted a few cases where the problem was the opposite, i.e. the user had renamed a mailbox with a leading period and it became inaccessible as a result. I don’t know why Mail behaves so inconsistently in this regard. If all the server-stored mailboxes were subfolders of a parent folder, you could solve the problem by typing the name of the parent folder in Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > IMAP Path Prefix...

Strange Behavior with gMSA in Server 2012 R2

Greetings,
I have been doing some testing with gMSA Accounts in a Server 2012 R2 environment (two separate environments, actually), and I have noticed something very strange that occurred in both environments, which does not appear to be occurring in one of our customer's
self-managed environments.
We created a Group Managed Service Account using the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2012/12/17/windows-server-2012-group-managed-service-accounts.aspx
Everything went smoothly, and the account installs/tests successfully on both of the hosts that we are testing on. I am able to set my services to run under the account, and most of them appear to work fine. I am having some issues with a few of my services,
and I believe that the strange behavior I am seeing may have something to do with this - described below:
As soon as I set the service's Log On Account (via the Log On Tab under the Service's Properties), the entirety of the "Log On" tab changes to "greyed out," and I am unable to change the Log On account back via the GUI (Screenshot
attached).
I found that I am able to successfully change the account via Command Line using sc.exe, but the Log On tab remains greyed out! So far, I have found nothing to remedy this, but confirmed that it happens for any service I set to use the gMSA as the Logon
Account, and that it happens in 2 separate test environments, but not in a Customer's production environment - very strange.
All servers in this environment are running Server 2012 R2, and domain Functional Level is currently Server 2012.
I have been unable to find any information online about this behavior, so I am hoping someone has seen this before, and can explain why this is happening.
Nick

VIvian,
Yes, we used the Install-AdServiceAccount gMSA command on each host using the gMSA account, and then ran Test-AdServiceAccount gMSA, which returned "True."
However, one thing I noticed is that if I run Test-ADServiceAccount gMSA as a Local Administrator, it fails with the following:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Test-AdServiceAccount gMSA$
Test-AdServiceAccount : The server has rejected the client credentials.
At line:1 char:1
+ Test-AdServiceAccount gMSA$
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : SecurityError: (:) [Test-ADServiceAccount], AuthenticationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ActiveDirectoryCmdlet:System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException,Microsoft.A
   ctiveDirectory.Management.Commands.TestADServiceAccount
If I run Test-ADServiceAccount gMSA as Domain Administrator, it returns true:
PS C:\Users\Administrator.<domainname>> Test-AdServiceAccount gMSA$
True
Is this normal?
Overall, I think the issue I am running into is at the Application Level, and not a problem with the gMSA, as it appears to be working. (Can Start/Stop services without any issues). I will be investigating my issue further with 3rd-party vendors, unless
you think there is something wrong with my gMSA accounts based on the information I have provided.

Strange behavior when I try to match a mpeg2 video with the menu size image

hello all,
got a strange behavior when I try to match a mpeg2 video with the menu size image,
menu size is 1920 x 1080 (photoshop file)
mpeg2 video 1920 x 1080 (1second 19 frames)
the idea is to go from the menu link to the next sub menu with a video as transition, using the same image on the video as the menu and then zooming in (in my case through a door) to end up after the zoom in the next level menu.
I try to achieve a smooth change from the first play menu picture to the video image into the next level menu picture,
everything works good but when I watch it on the preview mode on the left and right side of the video it shows a black bar at least 15 to 25 pixel wide, that means the video image appears smaller and it causes a little jump what is preety disturbing and can not be sold as a professional work.
why encore treats the video size and picture differently?
it's gratful appreciated if somebody who got experience in a transition I mentioned obove posting any solution,
thankl you all

Hi all
I'm having a very similar problem with Encore. My menu items are distorting (a minor but infuriating squashing top and bottom) when previewed.
Using Encore,PS,AE CS4
DVD format SD PAL DV widescreen
I created 3 menu frameworks and 3 video transistions to link them in AE. On the final frame of each transistion in AE I saved the frame with Composition>Save Frame to> Photoshop Layers. In PS i added the button functionality and saved.
In Encore I use Dynamic link to import AE transistions as timelines and imported each PS menu twice, once as "menu" and once as an asset.
When I link the timeline transistions to the menu and preview at the point the menu begins the whole image is squashed. When the next transistion is activated the image returns to its original size.
Thinking it was the use of PS that was causing the menus to distort I used the menu asset directly in the time line. Obviously no menu functionality but also no distortion. The AE transistion flowed straight into the "menu" just as I expected.
In the properties panel the menu Aspect Ratio 16:9
The AE transistions PAR is SD PALwidescreen 1.4587.
I did try the Blu Ray suggestion above but the same distortion was apparent.
Any suggestions short of squashing the video to match the menu would be welcomed.
Thanks
