Using Desktop Manager for managing Evolution Mail-Accounts
hi there,
where can i find a documentation that describes how i can manage
evolution acocunts within Desktop Manager. I just can add an account name
but i can not define the account specific configuration data such as the
type of email server (in our case: M$ Exchange and SUN JES Server)
and based on the type of email server i must add some more or less configuration
information.
second question : can i use some variables for those configuration data such as
$USERNAME to configure the evolution email account using the correct username ?
the password has to be entered by the user if he/she runs evolution for the first time.
thanks in advance
cheers
joerg
Hi Joerg,
The documentation for the Desktop Manager focuses on the common parts of the operation of the product, the details of the meaning of each setting are more related to the application to which they belong, which is why they don't feature in the general administration manual. You can, however, find more contextual information about the various pages of the Desktop Manager by clicking on the "More" button present on each of these pages, for instance in the case of the Evolution accounts, this would have told you about the fact that the Accounts field is a list of strings containing the XML account description (though I'll grant you that in this particular case, it's a bit on the terse side).
As for the placeholders, you need to update your Sun Ray server with patch 120454 (120455 depending on your platform) revision 02, so that the GConf adapter which integrates Desktop Manager data into the Gnome configuration handles the placeholder properly. Then you have the possibility of using the special strings "[apoc.<attribute>]" in the configuration settings, which will be replaced when evaluated with the value of <attribute> in the LDAP user entry.
As an example (which you should adapt to the contents of your LDAP server and the actual definition you want to use for your Evolution accounts), you could for instance use the following XML blob for an Evolution account (I've formated it nicely for display purposes, you will want to paste as a single line into that Accounts list):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<account name="[apoc.mail]" uid="[apoc.uid]" enabled="true">
<identity>
<name>[apoc.cn]</name>
<addr-spec>[apoc.mail]</addr-spec>
<reply-to></reply-to>
<organization></organization>
<signature auto="false" default="-1"/>
</identity>
<source save-passwd="false" keep-on-server="false" auto-check="true" auto-check-timeout="10"/>
<transport save-passwd="false">
<url>smtp://[apoc.givenname].[apoc.sn]@[apoc.mailhost]</url>
</transport>
<drafts-folder>file:///home/[apoc.uid]/evolution/local/Drafts</drafts-folder>
<sent-folder>file:///home/[apoc.uid]/evolution/local/Sent</sent-folder>
<auto-cc always="false">
<recipients></recipients>
</auto-cc>
<auto-bcc always="false">
<recipients></recipients>
</auto-bcc>
<pgp encrypt-to-self="false" always-trust="false" always-sign="false" no-imip-sign="false">
<key-id></key-id>
</pgp>
<smime encrypt-to-self="false" always-sign="false"/>
</account>Now to go back to your problem with getting the profiles you've assigned with the Desktop Manager visible on the user's desktop, I can first offer a few remarks on your configuration:
- you've specified a DN and password for authentication to your LDAP server, I would like to point out that the agent (as opposed to the Desktop Manager itself) will only ever perform read accesses to your LDAP server (to find the user entry, figure out its position in the hierarchy and retrieve the applicable profiles), so you don't need to provide a user with write access, let alone administrative priviledges, as you seem to have done. If your LDAP server setup supports anonymous read access, I would advise you to leave these fields blank in the agent configuration;
- you've set the ChangeDetectInterval, DaemonChangeDetectInterval, TimeToLive and GarbageCollectionInterval to 1 (minute), which is unnecessary and for some of them probably detrimental to the performance of the agent operation. I can expand if you wish on the meaning of each of these (though I think that's described in the manuals), but I would advise you put back the default values for all of these settings, except maybe the ChangeDetectInterval while you're testing the product (this is the setting used to determine how often the user data is refreshed, i.e how often the changes from the Desktop Manager are propagated to the desktop applications, one minute is fine for testing purposes but you should put it back to its sixty minutes default once the profiles are fairly stable in order to minimise the activity of the agent).
Please first try and make the above changes to the agent configuration, and check whether the problem you're having is still present. If so, we can look into other potential causes for the problem.
Regards,
Cyrille

E-mail issue after using Desktop Manager
I am a new BB user (Curve 8530). So I am confused with this issue. Couple of days back I connected phone to my laptop and used desktop manager (ver 5.0.0.11). I just wanted to explore the features of DM. After I disconnected from laptop, the company account emails stopped coming to the handheld nor I could send any from the company mail-id from the phone. I have configured gmail and hotmail on the BB. These were operational perfectly. Only the official mail-id was not getting synched. And I started getting mails with etp.data files in my outlook. The company BB admin guys resolved the issue. So everything was fine. But no one could tell what was wrong. So today I again connected to the phone to DM cause I wanted to move contact from outlook to phone. Now again, i have the same issue. No official emails on my phone. I am sure the admin guys will again solve the issue. But I need to know why is this happening, else i won't be able to use DM at all. can some one explain as to why this could happening. should i check/change any setting on phone or DM.
I am not sure this could help, but when you first intalled DM, did you onfigure it for Enterprise Use? Are you running 5.0.1 or 6.0? In the 5.0.1 version, you had to set it up for BES use when first installing the software.
Also, validate with IT the email and other security policies they have in place for BES users...
I know I am providing more questions than solutions, but hopefully they will steer you in the right way... -
Dear Community,
Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:
FaceTime Password
Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name"
It happened to me today for the first time since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.3, no "stop lights" in the title bar of the popup, in fact nothing at all.
I've never established a FaceTime account. So I tried to delete FaceTime from the Applications folder on the "system" disk thinking this may eliminate the popup. Mavericks informed me "Cannot delete FaceTime as it is used by the operating system.
Is this a MAC virus? Or is this an example user community alpha/beta testing that Apple just announced?
TIA,
GonzoBernelliThat being the case, why then did the FaceTime popup even appear in the first place?
It's not clear to me what it is. If it occurs again, please take a screenshot of the popup and post it in a reply.
To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
The screenshot attachment option for this support site appears only on computers - not on iPads.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply. -

Automatic file upload using desktop manager!!
hi everyone! im new to this forum so dont knw how long it will take before people reply. lets give it a shot lol
i just wanted to know if its possible to set up their blackberry manager in such a way that it automatically uploads files to to a computer once connected to a network?
all sugestions will be much appreciated
thanks,
rickyYou're welcome.
Let's start with your device model, you've gotten to post that.
But we gotta have some detail of what you're trying to do. In your first post and thread title you mentioned with using Desktop Manager, then you most recent post says without using any "middleman".
You can use Bluetooth to transfer from the BlackBerry to the PC. You can use Desktop Manager for that, but not for document files like Word. You can use Media Manager for that transfer, but there's another middleman you don't want.
Automatic? Maybe not. Even using a simple application on your PC like SyncToy will require some user interaction.

Update software without using Desktop Manager
I'm trying to update my BB 8520 because it's been playing up (again) and I've tried using the desktop manger to update it but it doesn't seem to let me complete the update even though it says there is one. Is there anyway of updating it through the internet like a website or something, or does it have to be through the desktop manager?
Thanks.See the link below for the download, and follow these simple installation instructions.
First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

Add or edit address book using Desktop Manager
Is there any way that I can add or edit my address book using the Desktop software? I would like to input email addresses and other information into my address book on my blackberry without having to type everything in on the blackberry. I was hoping there would be a way to do that on my PC and have it sync to my phone.
he following steps will help you to configure synchronization -
Connect your device using Desktop Manager and click on Synchronization
From the menu on the left click Synchronization under Configuration
Again click Synchronization button on the right which will give you option to Select Device Application that you want to synchronize
Put the check mark and you'll get a prompt to Select Desktop Application
Highlight the application name and click next button
Under Synchronization Option you get Direction of Synchronization
Check the radio button with Two way sync
Note: above mentioned steps are explained as per Desltop Manager 4.5
Example: Synchronize addressbook -
Connect you HH with your desktop Manager in your PC. If you device is set to wireless sync then you need to turn off wireless synchronization. To do so go to Address Book -> click Menu -> Options -> Wireless Synchronization: No -> click Menu and Save the changes.

So can I use our local internet provider for the e-mail account, or do I have to use Apple?
Yes, you can use the Mail app on the iPod for your internet mail provider. Go to your provider's mail support website to find out how to set up the account on the iPod. They probably will not have instructions for an iPod but the one for the iPhone should do.

DND has nothing to do with mail accounts.
Just don't check your email. -

Click Verify > Start. if necessary click Repair.
You may need to enter your admin password to proceed.
And, from the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information
Go through each mail account to make sure the password is typed in on the right. -

HT4436 I've used my limit for creating an iCloud account, what do I do?
I've used my limit for making a "free account" for iCloud ' it won't let me make an iCloud now. What do I do? How do I fix it so I can make an iCloud Account?
You can't. You'll have to either re-use one of the accounts already created on your phone, or create another one on another iOS device, if you have one.
