I am tring to get attachment from exchange server 2003. I can telnet
to exchange server port 143 which supports IMAP protocol. I can send
command to server and get response informartion. My question is where
I can get the information of contect-date parameter in content-
disposition?

I use this command "A001 FETCH 215 BODYSTRUCTURE" to get bodystructure
of message. I can see the attachment, filename in content-disposition.
However, I can't see creation-date and modification-date.

here is sample of response from exchange server

* 215 FETCH (BODYSTRUCTURE ((("TEXT" "PLAIN" ("charset" "us-ascii")
NIL NIL "QUOTED-PRINTABLE" 7 1 NIL NIL NIL)("TEXT" "HTML" ("charset"
"us-ascii") NIL NIL "QUOTED-PRINTABLE" 1306 22 NIL NIL NIL)
"alternative" ("boundary" "----_=_NextPart_002_01C90798.96D28C3F") NIL
NIL)("IMAGE" "JPEG" ("name" "Sample.JPG") NIL "Sample.JPG" "BASE64"
26226 NIL ("attachment" ("filename" "Sample.JPG")) NIL)
"mixed" ("boundary"

Hello,

We have 50 people using Outlook on our IMAP cyrus server. It's
wonderful : fast, efficient, no problem, easy...

But for 4-5 days I have a strange problem only on one PC :
* Outlook has to reconnect to the server every 5 minutes because of
"Fatal error: word too long".

As far as I understand, the cause of the problem is :
* "Outlook is sending either a token or quoted string that is longer
than 8K bytes."

But how could I correct this problem either in Outlook or cyrus ???
* Can I simply delete the "offending" email in Outlook, but how to
find which one ?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help !

I maintain an application that downloads messages from IMAP servers. I am
working
with a server now that is giving me a folder name encoded as

"Cabinet/test Ordner &AOQA,AD2-"

My customer is telling me this is supposed to be "test Ordner äüö"

There is another example where "t&APY-st" decodes to "töst". This one I
understand - I take the three character sequence between the & and -
and base64 decode it, and end up with a single character. All the examples
I have seen of this type of encoding use triplets for each character.
However
I have no idea how to decode the first example above. The first three
characters
do decode to " ä" as expected but everything I try to extract those last two
characters fails. I'm beginning to suspect that the IMAP server is not
correctly
encoding the folder name. Any ideas?

Hi folks,

first of all: We use maildrop-2.0.1 at the moment.

We have the following Problems:

we have one archive mailbox where all non-spam emails are cc'd to with
maildrop. A nightly running script creates weekly subfolders and moves the
emails in INBOX into the corresponding subfolder.
This mailbox may reach sizes up to 60 GB for two month!
Normally, it's size is about 10 GB for two month.

Now I wanted to increase the maildir-quota for this mailbox to 60 GB using
the maildirmake -q command, but it seems, that maildirmake stucks or runs
forever or at least for several hours when called on the mailbox with a
size of actually 4.7 GB. It doesn't matter if I remove the maildirsize file
before or not. Until a value of ~2GB everything seems to work correctly.

Hi all,

I'm in the process of migrating my email to gmail to be more flexible
on the road. However, I want my home server to be constantly backing
up / syncing my gmail to my home network so it's there if anything
goes wrong (and to backup).

At home I have dovecot IMAP and I have a number of mail trees served
up via different IMAP namespaces on a gentoo linux system. My
intention is to make one of these namespaces "GMailBackup" so that I
can just include that in my IMAP client and access it on my home
network whenever I want to. Dovecot is set up for mbox.

So I need a solution that can run in the background (cron job) and
either

1) Sync my gmail account to a local mbox store (that would then get
served up by dovecot)

or

2) Sync my gmail account to the "GMailBackup" namespace.

Hello,

I've been using Courier IMAP server for years and I think it's time to
change :). The *real* alternatives are Cyrus and Dovecot (feel free to
add a new one), mainly based on performance. Cyrus has a very good
reputation in speed (the fastest?) and Dovecot seems secure and also
speedy (perhaps slower than Cyrus, though). Have you got stats /
reports / performance tests or is there any (more or less recent)
performance comparison between most common Unix IMAP server
implementations?

I would also be interested in comparisons by:
- security (I guess Dovecot is the winner)
- computer resources (which one is taking more memory, CPU, etc?).

Thanks in advance.

I recently setup uw-imapd on a Debian server and it works fine and all
but today I was connecting to my server on my iPod Touch and noticed
it listed every file/folder in my home path.

I been looking and looking and can't seem to find any configuration
that can prevent this.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Jon

I am using the mutt mail client connected to an imap server (running
bincimap).

On the server, I have a maildir directory structure as follows:

~/Maildir/cur
~/Maildir/new
~/Maildir/tmp

I have existing mail messages in ~/Maildir/cur

When I connect to the imap server from my mutt mail client, I can see
and read the squillions of existing mail messages:

mutt -f imap://neptune

From the mail client, I want to move messages to a subfolder for
processed or read mail, so that the messages no longer appear in the
primary message list.

How do I do this?

I am new to mutt and imap, so I don't really know how to use these yet.
(I am used to "Outlook Express" style POP3 mail.)

Mark.

The mistake comes from --justfoldersizes option meaning:
--justfoldersizes : exit after printed the folder sizes.

Try:
--justfolders : just do things about folders (ignore
messages).
