Wiki server sometimes doesn't save messages in e-mail backlog

When you have a wiki set up with a mail-group service, it gives you a very nice and convenient backlog of the messages. However, sometimes it inexplicably only saves the title of the message and discards the body. I haven't managed to figure out why and I haven't seen anything weird in the logs either.
I did notice the following piece of code in /usr/share/wikid/lib/python/apple_utilities/MailBundler.py on line 89 and onward:
try:
bundleContent = handleMessage(message, dstPath, uid=uid)
except Exception, err:
from twisted.python import failure
failure.Failure().printTraceback()
print "Could not process %s: %s" % (message.get('message-id'),
err)
aBundle.setContentFiltered(bundleContent)
aBundle.save('First created', 'firstSave')
backupMessage(message, group)
return aBundle
Can it be that an exception was thrown and thus it didn't actually set bundleContent (I'm assuming this is the mail body)? Where can I read the log from that exception in that case? I've looked in the error log (and access log actually) at /Library/Logs/wikid and couldn't find anything about the issue. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

I've found that this is indeed a problem in the python scripts and it rears its head when an e-mail contains illegal characters. I'm not entirely sure how to fix it yet, but I've spotted the bug by modifying /var/teamsserver/.forward to pipe stderr to a log file in /tmp. The issue begins in DOMContentFilterBase.py on line 26. Specifically, it's the call to encode() that throws an exception. I've tried to modify the code but haven't yet been able to fix the bug. I'll report back when I've managed to fix it.

My computer sometimes doesn't send out my e-mails

My MacBook sometimes doesn't send out my e-mails. I need to send them directly from the server to be certain they go out. Random recipients and random e-mails.

Wiki Server: how to change who "From" field in Mail

I have Mail set up to receive an RSS feed from our Wiki Server and in the "From" field it comes up as "Workgroup: Search Results."
Is there any way to change this, say to "Workgroup Intranet"?

Error: Can't Save Message also Sent Mail Lost - IMAP

I'm having a problem with one of my IMAP accounts(several mailboxes from the same server) where when I am composing a message...about 2 minutes into writing the message an error pops up saying the message cannot be saved. I hit ok, send message then the sent message is not saved. I've been troubleshooting this problem. It only occurs in the Mac Mail.app with this particular server. The messages are saved when I send them from the server's webmail application and when I use Thunderbird. These are mailboxes associated with my website...so my buisness partner is having the same problem with his account and Mac Mail. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. I've searched this forum and tried several "solutions" including rebuilding the mailbox.
This is really annoying and making it difficult to do buisness.
Thanks folks!

Fix Draft, Sent, Trash IMAP Folders In Apple Mail
This How-to describes how to configure Apple Mail to use appropriate folders on the IMAP server for storing Sent and Draft emails.
Apple Mail requires users to set up which folders on the IMAP server should be used for the "Sent", "Drafts", and "Trash" mailboxes.
If a user doesn't set these up they will be unable to see their sent or deleted messages and will get an error message when saving drafts of emails.
To manually assign which folders on the server will be assigned to the Sent, Trash, and Drafts folders, follow these steps for each mailbox name:
1. Click on the IMAP folder in the mailbox drawer
2. Select the menu item "Mailbox-->Use This Mailbox For-->(choose the mailbox name)".
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Suddenly, thunderbird doesn't connect to remote server when i click "get messages".

Linux (ubuntu studio), 64 bit. Suddenly, thunderbird doesn't connect to remote server when i click "get messages". It just says "(account name): Connected to (mail server)" for a second or two at the bottom, then nothing. In the server logs, i get:
popa3d[6408]: Didn't attempt authentication
Trying to get my e-mail also seems to cause a bunch of these errors on the server:
(server) kernel: [18295.775491] lockd: cannot monitor laptop
where "laptop" is the client machine.
The problem seems to be caused by my mailbox files (Inbox and Inbox.msf) - when i create a clean ~/.thunderbird directory, i can get my e-mails, but when i place my mailbox files in this account's Mail directory, the problem comes back. Even if i place it as another name, and not Inbox.

I should add the following information:
- Neither "safe mode" or rebuilding the global-messages-db.sqlite file fixes the problem.
- Seamonkey has no problems with my Inbox and Inbox.msf file.
- The Inbox and Inbox.msf files are symlinks to files on a NFS filesystem.
- Downgrading to an earlier version of thunderbird doesn't fix the problem.
- Even if i remove the mail file from an account, the problem persists.
- I confirmed that i can telnet to the server on the pop3 port and login with the raw protocol.
The above mentioned lockd errors make me think this is a NFS related error, but if that's the case, why is seamonkey able to read my Inbox file without problems but not thunderbird?

I think I found out how to solve this - I turned off iCloud documents and data, and now I can save and don't get the "can't open untitled.page" and am now able to properly save!
Hope it works for you.

Error while creating task: The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again. (SharePoint 2013)

I get the following error while saving a task inside task list:
"The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
I tried restarting "search service host controller".
The server has 8 GB RAM and according to task manager, 6.67 GB is being used.
I logged into the site with user which is the owner of the site. I tried creating tasks from client as well as the SharePoint server itself. Same error is shown in both the cases.
How do I find information on the exact problem that is causing the error? What are possible solutions?

Hi robikshrestha,
This error message often shows when there is low memory that can be used, the workaround restart the “SharePoint Search Hosting Controller” service is to release some memory, and make it work. Whether restart the service release memory
in your situation?
Would you please check whether this issue happens all the time in task list, or happens sometimes when the memory is lower to use. If it doesn’t have a large impact, you can restart the server, check the result. have a look at the event
log and ULS log, see whether there is related information.
If it happens all the time, would you please use other browsers, whether the results are same? This may be caused by some add-ons in IE, like Free Download Manager I have seen.
Thanks,

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account. Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my account every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail. I cannot edit the outgoing server; how can I send emails?

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.

Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder? I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder. Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks. I suspect that will work.
With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages. If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad.

Mail doesn't save sent mail on one of my email accounts.....

Mail doesn't save sent mail on one of my email accounts. I have several accounts, but on one of them it just doesn't save any mail I send. Is there a hidden setting I've missed somewhere? I did delete the account and then reset it, but it took out all of my emails to that address so I'm loathe to do that again!

I'm lucky enough to have two Macs running OS X 10.9 next to each other, both using the same network, and sharing a common Exchange mail server. My corporate machine (an first gen' Aluminium iMac) has both Outlook and Mail installed. My personal machine (a 13" MacBook Air) has only Mail installed.
Neither install of Mail is guarenteed to write sent messages to the Exchange Sent folder (it might happen, it might not). Both write perfectly to other common mail servers (e.g. GMail). Outlook writes perfectly to the Exchange server, but generally functions less effectively as a mail client than Apple Mail.
The failure to write to the Exchange server only happened after the upgrade.
It's quite frustrating.

Wiki Server - People - suppress for unauthenticated users

With Wiki Server 4 (Server 10.8.1), unauthenticated users hitting the web server's default home page are presented with Wiki Server's default landing page listing:
"My Documents"
"All Activity"
"Wikis"
"People"
If an unauthenticated user tries any of the first three items they get no content, which is great (althouh only the "My Documnets" page prompts for credentials — I think they all should).
However, if they hit the "People" item, it lists (exposes) all of the people on your system.
We don't want a list of our users exposed — we think if you are unauthenticated, you shouldn't see anything when clicking on "People".
Suggestions?

******** PLEASE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING COPY THE CONTENT FOLDER OF THE SERVER.APP AND BACK IT UP SOMEWHERE SAFE**************
I have been working on this for weeks..... I understand some people want to be able to share there blogs and people pages but you have to understand some people don't
"People pages" should be set up is the same way as wikis... The owner(s) have the ability to give access to whom they choose. If it is a public "people page" it shows up in search and activity, if it is private it doesn't show up (or only shows up in search results with people that have access). I also feel you should have the ability to choose whether a person has a "people page" or not.
But it is what it is. So I'll step through what I did to make it work for me. You do lose some services but this was my goal....
1. All activity does not work
2. Search does not work
3. tags do not work (I hope to fix this because I want tags....)
4. iPad now brings up the PC version of the wiki server, which eliminates the ability to upload files. Some one with some java script experience maybe able to help us out but at this time I just chose to remove it....
**The other thing to note is the iPad version is completely independent of the PC version (I address this also) so even if you make all these fixes someone with an iPad will still be able to search and gain access to people unauthenticated***
Now all services (including the home page and people) need authentication to gain access.
************** Once complete you need to stop/restart wikis**************
**************I recommend making a copy of the content file of your server app (just incase)**************
Step 1. Set up authentication: (SAVE A COPY ON THE DESKTOP BEFORE EDITING)
1.Edit the controller for the wiki
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/collabd/coreclient/app/co ntrollers/application_controller.rb
2. find the block
   helper_method :service_client, :current_user, :current_version, :page_context, :use_inline_webauth, :javascript_includes_for_locale
   helper_method :webcal_enabled?, :webmail_enabled?, :entityURL, :iphone, :ipod, :ipad
   before_filter :master_before_filter, :block_older_internet_explorer
   after_filter :master_after_filter
3. Change to
   helper_method :service_client, :current_user, :current_version, :page_context, :use_inline_webauth, :javascript_includes_for_locale
   helper_method :webcal_enabled?, :webmail_enabled?, :entityURL, :iphone, :ipod, :ipad
   before_filter :master_before_filter, :block_older_internet_explorer
   before_filter :ensure_user_is_authenticated
   after_filter :master_after_filter
2. Remove search/all activity/tag access (SAVE A COPY TO DESKTOP BEFORE EDITING)
Go to:
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/collabd/coreclient/config /routes.rb
I removed the following lines of code:
    match "/updates" => redirect("/wiki/activity")
    match "/updates/:path", :to => redirect {|params| "/wiki/activity/#{params[:path]}"}
    match "/activity", :to => 'activity#index'
    match "/search", :to => 'find#index'
    match "/search/:id", :to => 'find#index'
    match "/find", :to => 'find#index'
    match "/find/:id", :to => 'find#index'
3. Remove activity from menu bars (SAVE A COPY TO DESKTOP BEFORE EDITING)
Go to:
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/collabd/coreclient/config /initializers/register_apple_plugins.rb
I removed these lines of code:
    BannerLinks::Project::Activity,
    BannerLinks::Project::Documents,
    BannerLinks::Project::Tags,
    BannerLinks::Person::Activity,
    Sources::Activity,
   Sources::MyFavorites
4. Redirect iPad to the PC version of the wiki server. (SAVE A COPY TO DESKTOP BEFORE EDITING)
Go to:
Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/collabd/coreclient/app/con trollers/application_controller.rb
Change:
      if ipad and ios5plus
      redirect_url = "/wiki/ipad/#route=#{request.fullpath}"
      logger.info("Redirecting to #{redirect_url} because we detected an iPad running iOS5+")
      redirect_to redirect_url
      end
To:(You could probably just remove these lines but I was still troubleshooting at the time)
      # if ipad and ios5plus
      # redirect_url = "/wiki/ipad/#route=#{request.fullpath}"
      # logger.info("Redirecting to #{redirect_url} because we detected an iPad running iOS5+")

Can't save drafts, doesn't save sent mail thru imap account

I learned what an imap account was when I signed up for my .Mac account. I like the idea of sent mail being saved on the server and shared to all my computers. It saves duplication of effort between the two of us working here. So, I've recently had my web guy switch my old POP account to an imap account. But there's problems.
Whenever I begin composing an email to be sent through my new imap account, I get a message that says, "This email cannot be saved." I can compose and send the email through that account, I just can't save it to my draft folder. When I hit the "Save as Draft" button, it seems to try to save. The "Save as Draft" button goes gray for a couple of seconds but, afterward, I can't find any trace of a saved draft. There's not even a Draft "mailbox" or subfolder under the main "Drafts" heading. Also, once the letter is sent, it doesn't show up in a sent mail folder, I suppose because, again, there isn't a sent mail subfolder for that account.
My web guy showed me how in his Thunderbird mail preferences he's asked to choose a folder in which his drafts and sent mail will be saved. I can't find a question like that in the Mac Mail preferences. Even if I were asked where I want the mails to be saved, those folders would have to be on the imap server for the contents to be shared between computers, right?
Two side notes, there is an inbox for this imap account, just no "Sent" or "Draft" folders and second, I'm on OS X 10.4.10, Mac Mail Version 2.1 (752/752.2).
Anyway, does anyone have any idea what's going on and how it can be fixed?
TIA,
Peter

Yes! Brilliant! When I followed the first half of your instruction (this account requires INBOX to be typed in Preferences, etc.) the imap server did indeed create the draft folder and when I sent the email it created a sent mail folder. Just what I wanted! Thank you. I'm so grateful!
OK, now a couple more questions based on things that seem to have started happening as a result of following the first instruction.
Now, instead of not saving drafts, it's saving two, three or four. Just as an experiment, I tried writing a letter to be sent through Mac.com. As I wrote the letter a draft appeared in the proper draft folder. When I changed the subject or added a recipient, that draft was amended to reflect my changes. In the new imap draft folder a new draft was added each time I made a change. They all went away once I sent the message so I see that as a small problem.
Second, since I saw the draft and sent mail folders appear, the inbox for that account is acting oddly. The little whirling icon that appears when incoming messages are being checked shows up as expected next to each box (subfolder). In the case of the account where the changes were made, the whirling icon freezes and does not display the number of new messages until I actually click on that subfolder. One other little issue that might be related; mail that appears in the new imap inbox doesn't always appear in the overall inbox (atop all the subfolder inboxes). If I click on that inbox subfolder, the mail will appear.
Third question/comment, the second half of your email suggested that if I succeeded in getting email to "save messages on the server, but maybe in a mailbox different from where you want them to be. To fix that, select the desired folder in Mail and choose the appropriate option from Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For. " Although it seems to be saving in the right folders I looked at the "Use this mailbox for" command and the choices are grayed out no matter which mailbox I choose, whether it's a subfolder mailbox, a main mailbox or a mailbox folder I've created. I don't care but I'm curious. Is that odd?
Thanks so much for your help so far! This is just great!!!

Mozilla Thunderbird hangs all the time, won't download messages, won't save messages,

Hi,
I have been running Mozilla Thunderbird since the beginning of the year.
I have always had problems, but it seems to be getting worse.
It won't download messages, it won't save messages at the time you send them, instead a window runs for ages saying:
"Copying messages to saved folder"
Then it says
"There was an error saving the message to sent, retry?"
You hit cancel and then it comes up with:
"The message was sent successfully, but could not be copied to your Sent folder. Would you like to return to the compose window?"
Then there is the problem of downloading messages, basically it doesn't all the time, it hangs and I have to either restart the computer or download them on my iphone.
It can take upwards of 20 minutes to download a single message.
I had a look at the "Activity Manager" and it seems frozen as well.
It also sends up the messages that the server has been disconnected or timed out.
I've had a look through the trouble shooting guide but can't seem to progress this.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
I am running the latest version, and have Windows 7, 64 bit.
I am fast of the opinion I'd better shell out some cash and get Windows Outlook as Thunderfox is a nightmare.
Many thanks,
Adrian

How do I increase attachment file size in Wiki Server 3?

I have just setup Wiki Server 3 on Lion - Got it working. I am using it for a community Video Library and manu of the files are between 1 to 3 gb. I was able to attach video files as large at 500MB, but no larger. I found a few poists discussing updates to the wikid.conf file for MaxAttachment. That file exists on my machine - but it looks like it is leftover from Snow LEopard Server.
Is there a way to increase the maximum allowable attachment - or do I need to revert back to Snow Leopard Server... I am a novice in the Networking and Server world and had trouble setting up Snow Leopard Server in the past.
Thanks

It might be something in the Apache config, but I don't know what. The first thing I'd try is to transfer a test file onto the wiki server host by some other means (AFP, SFTP), then open a web browser on the wiki host and connect to the wiki (i.e. connect to itself). Then try to upload the file. This will eliminate all external sources of interference. If you still cannot upload 1GB+ files, try a different browser. If it still doesn't work, the limitation must be in Apache or the Wiki code somewhere else.

Can't Host a Wiki Server's calendar using Server 10.8

I have setup server and attempted to have one of my calendars on iCal sync with the Wiki calendar
I have a user called bernard
I have a calendar in ical called bernardtraining
In the Wiki the user bernard has a calendar but I cant get ical to sync with the Wiki.
In iCal Accounts
I set up an account in ical lets call it server.myserver.private (hiding actual name)
user name = bernard
password is set to user password
Refresh 5 minutes
In Server Settings iCal Accounts
Server address server.myserver.private
server path aut populates to /principals/__uids__/7A7D303D-8265-47D5-BAD1-01E3DDD4CC37/ (maybe this is the problem)
Port = auto
SSL = No (for now)
No delgates
I then went through this process.....
When you set up iCal Server to provide the calendar service for a wiki, Wiki Server provides access to the calendars, so users who do not have wiki privileges do not have calendar service.
Use serveradmin via the Terminal app to change the setting.sudo serveradmin set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:Enabled = "<setting>" The default value for <setting> is “no”.
The other possible value is “yes.”
Command example:
sudo serveradmin set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:Enabled = "yes"
Use serveradmin via the Terminal app to designate the Wiki server.sudo serveradmin set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:Hostname = "<DNSWikiServer>" The default value for <DNSWikiServer> is the Wiki server’s fully qualified domain name.
Command example:
sudo serveradmin set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:Hostname = "wikiweb.example.com"
Use serveradmin via the Terminal app to encrypt the connection.sudo serveradmin set set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:UseSSL = "(yes|no)" The default value is “no”.
Command example:
sudo serveradmin set set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:UseSSL = "yes"
Still no success.
Can anyone help?

I did, and had it working last night. It won't now, though.
I don't understand port triggering, and when I attempted to look up the help files on the linksys site, they told me to register first - then they wouldn't let me fill in the email address section of the registration, so..
I don't use a firewall, and this computer I'm trying to host the server on is directly connected to the router. The wireless connection is with a laptop upstairs. I just checked, and my IP changed, but fixing that in Port Forwarding still does nothing. I can host the server... It just doesn't show up on gamespy.
Just about everywhere I read up on this, it mentions having to have a static IP address. I went through the guides that tell how to go about getting one set up, but still doesn't work. I don't have anything even remotely mentioning linksys in Network Connections though - that's on the laptop. Could this be the problem?
Another problem I ran into when setting up the router, was I'd get an error unpacking languages, or something. Got it every time, but it let me move on after closing the error so didn't think much of it.
