 I don't know if this changed since then but when we wrote the code to do it (granted, it was in 1998) there was no simple way to do this in c-client and we had to use a custom output redirector, i.e. a function set by SET_RFC822OUTPUT, to output the headers manually.

Setting custom headers in outgoing message using c-client

David C. Choweller — 2012-05-21T20:02:21

I would like to use the c-client library to set custom headers in an outgoing message (sent using smtp_mail() function).

Which structure members of the BODY or ENVELOPE do I need to set to do this?

I tried using the PARAMETER *parameter member of the BODY.  However, this does something I don't want it to.  For example, if I set
body->parameter->attribute  <--  "X-Custom-Header"
body->parameter->value  <--  "X-Custom-Value"
body->parameter->next  <--  NULL

What I get in the resulting email message is:

Content-Type TEXT/PLAIN; X-Custom-Header=X-Custom-Value

In other words, the parameter and value I specified have been added to the "Content-Type" header, rather than creating a new header "X-Custom-Header".

Re: mailutil - Can't open mailbox

Mabry Tyson — 2012-04-24T22:37:00

My largest mailbox is 12GB (280K messages).

If you aren't using the MIX format, you should.  See
   http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/mixfmt.txt.html
You can convert with mixcvt (*not* mailutil).
The mix format stores a mail folder in a directory, with individual 
files no larger than a certain limit (except where a single message is 
larger than the limit).   Access & update will be incredibly faster, and 
much less of a load on the system.

Mixcvt is a separate download, if I recall correctly.

If the 16GB mail file is in mbox format ("traditional Unix mail 
format"), then I can imagine all kinds of problems.
If mixcvt can't deal with it, then you'll have to use something like 
split, with hand editing to break it into manageable sizes and to break 
between messages.

In regard to: [Imap-uw] mailutil - Can't open mailbox, Carlton T said (at...:


What format are these mailboxes in?  Traditional UNIX "From " style?

I don't know if it was ever addressed, but UW imapd used to have a 2 GB
folder limit for traditional format mailboxes.  That had to do with the
size of a signed 32 bit quantity.  Perhaps that's changed, but either
way, I would be very surprised if it supported traditional folders larger
than 4 GB.  Moreover, performance would likely be horrible.


You're very likely correct that it is related to the size.

The problem for you is that UW imapd is essentially abandoned, at this
point.  The UW staff that worked on it have been forced to move on to
other things.  The primary author, Mark Crispin, has a fork of UW imapd
called Panda IMAP.  If you're going to stick with something UW-ish, you
should be looking at that.

Even if you go to UW imap, you should expect to have to convert to some
other format (likely MIX).

Thanks to all with your help. So now with the certificate installed in the

but I still have an issue, because it says that the mailbox is opened with 0

I checked with the same method:

Mine live in /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem and ipop3d.pem.  Do a:

strings /path/to/imapd | grep ssl

and you will get the hint as to where the appropriate directory is.

Matt Selsky — 2012-04-23T13:34:04


What is SSLCERTS defined to be on your platform?  Check the Makefile.
The ipop3d certificate should be in that directory.

Also, the xinetd config file should have just "/usr/sbin/ipop3d" for
the server line without the "-d".

mailutil - Can't open mailbox

Carlton T — 2012-04-23T11:21:27




Hi, I have just joined the group, so forgive me if this problem has been addressed before, I did search the archive with no success. I have a client with a number of HUGE mailboxes, some in excess of 16 Gigs. As you can imagine, the server slows down to a crawl when acessing these mailboxes. I am trying to use the mailutil's prune option to remove messages from one of the 16 Gigs mailboxes, but I get the error message "Can't open mailbox <mailbox_name>: no such mailbox". However, if I perform the same operation against a mailbox which is approx 4 Gigs, it completes successfully. I have done a little debugging and noted that the error message is being generated by the open_mail function within the module mail.c.  Has anyone else attempted this on such a large mailbox file? Is there a limit on the size of mailbox file that can be handled by mailutil? Am I wrong in assuming that the problem is related to the size of the file? Any help/pointers greatly appreciated. -- Carlton       _____________________

Re: [Imap-use] Howto use certificate tree

David B Funk — 2012-03-14T01:17:33


For what it's worth, here's what we're using for our imapd certifcate 
files:

1) host certificate
2) host private key (unencrypted)
3) intermediate CA certicate
4) Global-Root-CA certificate

It looks like your test6 is almost this way.

Put them in the /etc/ssl/certs directory (or where ever the OpenSSL certs
dir is for your distro). Be sure to protect them mode 0400 owned by root,
those private keys need to be unencrypted.

I don't know if it's necessary, but I also put the global-root-CA &
intermediate-CA certs in seperate files in the /etc/ssl/certs
directory and ran the "c_rehash" program to build the fingerprint
links.

Note that if your server has more than one IP-address/hostname, then
you'll need to append the IP address to the name to indicate which
cert file to use for a given connection. If your server support both
IPv4 & IPv6 you'll need both forms of the addresses in the
name suffix.

Test suite?

Exporting mail folders to CDROM

Andrew Daviel — 2012-01-06T08:48:13

When transferring mail between different systems, it's probably easiest 
for a user to log on to two IMAP servers in a mail client and just drag messages 
across. But we were looking for a way to export a user's folders to some 
kind of portable format on removeable media without a lot of user 
interaction.

I found some notes on Mozilla's file format which seems to be consistent 
across Linux and Windows, and is basically a Unix mail file with an 
external .msf index, which Thunderbird will recreate if missing. So one 
can just copy files into the mail directory, or use the ImportExport 
add-on, and get Unix mail folders off a CD into a Thunderbird local 
folder.

https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbox

Having done that, it seems that all the message flags are missing, except 
"Read", so I wrote a bit of Perl to set them. The resulting 
X-Mozilla-Status headers should be harmless to other Unix mail readers.

I'm probably re-inventing the wheel, but if anyo

Problem purging mailbox with uw-imap mix format

Agustín Quintana — 2011-11-21T09:59:15

English is not my native language; please excuse typing errors.

We have this configuration:

IMAP server
-----------
IMAP server: UW-IMAP 2007f.404
Default mail folder format: mbx
The server supports the following IMAP capabilities:
IMAP4REV1 I18NLEVEL=1 LITERAL+ IDLE UIDPLUS NAMESPACE CHILDREN
MAILBOX-REFERRALS BINARY UNSELECT ESEARCH WITHIN SCAN SORT
THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND SASL-IR
LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN

Webmail client
--------------
OS: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
Webserver: Apache 2.2.14
PHP: 5.3.2
Horde (horde): 4.0.10
Mail (imp): 5.0.14
Imapproxy: 1.2.6

In order to improve performance, we convert some mailboxes from mbx or  
mbox to uw-imap "mix" format.

In the webmail client, if we mark some messages for deletion in  
mailbox with mix format, when we purge the mailbox ALL messages are  
deleted. This doesn't happen with mbx format.
No problem with other email clients: Thunderbird, Outlook,... Probably  
they don't use UID EXPUNGE.

We have done some tests from a

You can work around the problem by restarting (as you have discovered),

Thunderbird 6.0.2 - Problems to create subfolders

Didier Gervaise — 2011-09-15T14:10:02

Hello,

After an upgrade to Thunderbird 6.0.2,
when I right-click on a folder, the "New Subfolder" option don't appear
if the option "server support folders that contains sub-folder and 
message" is off.
It is possible to create a new subfolder (Folder only type) when 
right-clicking
on the "account" and choosing "New Folder" but only one folder in each 
subfolder.
To create subfolders "Message only" the option "server support folders 
that
contains sub-folder and message" must be set to "on".

Another strange thing: When I restart Thunderbird and right-click on a 
Folder,
I see the "New Subfolder" option, but only once.
So to create a subfolder and 3 sub-subfolders, I have to restart 
Thunderbird 4 times.

We never had this problem with previous versions of Thunderbird (2.x 
3.x)

I wonder if anybody have seen the same problem, if the problem is on 
Thunderbird
side or on the IMAP server side, and if there is a workaround.

IMAP server version: UW imap 2007e
