Automated test

Jeroen van Aart — 2008-08-21T19:40:27

I was wondering if there is a test script or tool to do automated tests of imap mailboxes and MTAs. This would probably run as root and send emails to various addresses on the local box and check if they arrived. I understand it's not possible to do this for remote destinations, for obvious reasons. But on a local destination one could "physically" check the mailbox file(s).

Mark mail as archived

Dag Nygren — 2008-08-19T17:08:12

Hi again, just asked about the ANNOTATE (METADATA) facility in IMAP and found that it isn't good for marking my mailing list emails as archived in our company archive. Seems like using flags would be another possibility and now my question is more about UW-IMAP: Is it possible to define your own flags? The standard seems to allow that.

Using hashed mail spool directories with UW IMAP server

Jeffrey Parker — 2008-08-19T13:33:51

Hello, I was wondering if anyone out there has modified the mailboxdir() and/or the sysinbox() routines to support mail spool directories of the format /var/spool/mail/first_letter/second_letter/username for example /var/spool/mail/j/o/joe or /var/spool/mail/b/i/bill My C programming skills are extremely rusty. :-) Hoping somebody out there has done this already. Thanks in advance, Jeff

IMAP annotation utility

Dag Nygren — 2008-08-18T13:46:11

Hi, just in the process of converting my old MH mailstore to mix and run into a problem with my mailing list archiving connection. It would need to annotate the mail as archived when it is. My question is: Is there a simple command line utility to add an annotation to a IMAP mail? Or a Perl iinterface for ANNOTATE?

imap-2007b instillation - did it work?

Lee Lundrigan — 2008-08-11T23:49:24

Hi everyone, I am trying to build the c-client but I am unsure if the build failed or was successful. Somethings you would like to know: OS: CentOS 5.2 (final) PAM, OpenSSL all installed Asterisk Build :) The first time I built the c-client there were a lot of warnings so I went into "src/osep/unix/ssl_unix.c" and changed line #101 FROM: if (stat ("/dev/urandom",&sbuf)) { while ((fd = open (tmpnam (tmp),O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL,0600)) < 0) TO: if (stat ("/dev/urandom",&sbuf)) { while ((fd = open (mkstemp (tmp),O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL,0600)) < 0) I was getting the error: /home/laszlo/src/imap-2007b/c-client/osdep.c:337: warning: the use of `tmpnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp' The warnings went away but I had the same output: Building bundled tools... cd mtest;make make[2]: Entering directory `/home/laszlo/src/imap-2007b/mtest' `cat ../c-client/CCTYPE` -I../c-client `cat ../c-client/CFLAGS` -c -o mtest.o mtest.c `cat ../c-client/CCTYPE` -I../c-client `cat ../c-client/CFLAG

Crash fetching an empty text part

Josh Freed — 2008-08-08T17:24:27

Hello, I've got a php app using the php-imap extension and a segmentation fault occurs during a call to imap_fetchbody on a specific message and section. I've attached an example email message that causes my crash. It seems a multipart/mixed message that contains a text part with no text will crash when I attempt to fetch the empty part. I tried a message that wasn't multipart and contained only a single empty text part and no crash occurred. Debugging, I see the crash occurs in memcpy called from c-client. I believe that the problem is in the imap_parse_string function. The crash scenario calls imap_parse_string with the value "{-1}" in the txtptr parameter. Later in the function the "-1" is extracted and passed to strtoul which understandably isn't terribly happy about bing asked to make a negative number unsigned. The crazy value returned from strtoul is passed down to the memcpy which crashes. At this point I am a bit stumped. I'm not sure where that "-1" is coming from, though I suspect

utf8_mime2text doesn't decode "ISO-8859-1''%..."

Shawn Walker — 2008-08-05T22:11:47

I have a message from the latest thunderbird client that is setting the filename as: Content-Disposition: inline; filename*0*=ISO-8859-1''%65%78%65%6D%70%6C%65%2D%64%E9%64%E9%6D%2D%31%2E; filename*1*=%35%2E%70%64%66 The issue is that utf8_mime2text isn't decoding the filename. Is there an update to c-client that will correctly decode the filename? c-client is handling the filename*#* correctly, just not decoding it. _______________________________________________ Imap-uw mailing list Imap-uw< at >u.washington.edu http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-uw

mix conversion on live system

Joe Pruett — 2008-07-22T23:45:08

i doesn't look like there is an easy way to convert people's inboxes and mail folders over to mix while the server is live. i haven't delved into the guts of mixcvt, but i'm wondering if it locks the input folder while reading so that i could then hack in a quick rename into mixcvt. but i'm not sure if the locking of the other tools would have already opened the original file and just merrily use it after the lock vanished? what i'm hoping for is: exclusive lock original mix convert to temp rename original to backup rename temp to original unlock original so that the worst that happens is during the conversion, a user is denied access to the mailbox being converted. do i have any hope? _______________________________________________ Imap-uw mailing list Imap-uw< at >u.washington.edu https://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-uw

imap and solaris 10 : execution process terminatedabnormally

Bruno Richard — 2008-07-17T14:52:56

Hello, I got a new mail serveur and I'm installing components. I had no problem until I tried to install imap. I'm using solaris 10 on a sun T1000 server. I compiled imap-2007b without any problem (make options are : gso PASSWDTYPE=pmb. The mail serveur is a ldap client) When using thunderbird I can be connected to my mailbox (i.e. ssl is ok) but when I try to delete messages in my Inbox, I get sometimes (yes, sometimes !) the following message: "Alert The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Execution process terminated abnormally (d)." of course, there is nothing in the logs... Any idea ? thanks in advance Bruno _______________________________________________ Imap-uw mailing list Imap-uw< at >u.washington.edu https://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-uw

Imap Idle oddness

Robert Goldsmith — 2008-07-14T10:49:57

my first post so hello everyone :D I'm investigating Imap Idle + Nokia S60 and have noticed an oddness I hope someone can help with. Monitoring the communication using tcpdump I've found that the imap server (at least, over ssl) sends a packet every 2 minutes which is then replied to by the client. This surprises me as I had expected no communication for up to 29 minutes if there was nothing to report. Further investigation shows that this also happens with the Apple Mail client and that it is definitely a server- triggered communication. Any ideas why there is this 2min packet exchange?

IMAP + SSL + PHP in Windows

Queisser, Michael Rowell — 2008-07-08T20:11:26

Hello all: First, hello everyone! I hope this is the right list to submit this. Apologies if not. Next, background. I am configuring a web-based PHP helpdesk application that is supposed to connect to our Exchange server and download emails. The environment is as follows -- * Windows 2008 Server * PHP 5.2.6 -- php_imap says that its c-Client version is 2004, which is puzzling. -- php_imap also says that SSL is enabled * IIS 7 When I try connecting, I get the following message, ---- Account being parsed is [**my email here**] Time Limit: unlimited secs Memory Limit: 64M Failed with error: [CLOSED] IMAP connection broken (server response) ---- After some research, I see that there have been several noted bugs with PHP, the php_imap extension, and SSL IMAP connections (especially to Microsoft Exchange). So, I thought I would ask whether anyone has been successful with a situation similar to mine (where authentication fails). If so, and, if you happen to have a compiled .DLL or two out of the whole p

imap-2007b on SLES10SP1

Jarmila Holcova — 2008-06-18T14:00:30

Hello, I´m about to move mail server for 15000 users to a new server. The SLES10SP1 distribution contains imap-2004. I would like to use the newest version. Have you any experience with imap-2007b on SLES10SP1? There are any known issues with building and processing imap-2007b on SLES10SP (e.g. ipv6)? Thanks for your answers.

x-imapbase timestamp field being rewritten

Andrew Tamm — 2008-06-13T19:22:45

I'm having a problem with various users having repeated downloads of the messages in their mailboxes. Most, but not all, are using Mac Mail.app, although I'm not sure if this makes a difference. The problem occurs intermittently, although it does seem to appear in clusters, i.e. multiple users will be affected at the same time. For some reason, the X-IMAP field (in particular the first number, the time stamp) is being rewritten to the current time instead of its original value. This causes all the messages to have new UIDL values, and so the POP client thinks that these are new messages. The field in question is: X-IMAP: 1213219525 0000000002 Although if the data is not stored in a placeholder message, the header is named X-IMAPbase. Does anyone have any idea why that number would be changing? _______________________________________________ Imap-uw mailing list Imap-uw< at >u.washington.edu https://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-uw

imapd snarfing to mix formatted inbox

Marius Micluta — 2008-06-10T14:40:31

Although this list seems almost inactive since Mark Crispin's regrettable departure, I place my query here with the hope of a reply from the users' community. I also sent a message to the alpine-contact address listed by Mark in his last message, but no reply followed. I intend to switch the incoming mail inboxes on the system I am administering to the alternative mix format. I compiled and installed imapd 2007a and it works fine, but there is one feature that I was not able to use. Mailboxes in the mix format (or any alternative format) are recognized, but the messages from the Unix mail spool are not snarfed into these mailboxes. On the other hand, pine 4.64 is able to snarf messages from the mail spool files into the alternative inboxes it recognizes, as stated in the documentation. The name and path for these inboxes were set according to the documentation (i.e., INBOX for mix or mbox for mbox, placed in my home directory), but imap clients do not see them as inboxes. On the contrary, pine run dir

Question for Mark re future of imapd & Alpine

Andrew Porter — 2008-06-02T20:19:05

Mark: Just read the Seattle Times article about the massive layoff in UW's IT group due to reduced use of UW computing resources caused by users shifting to webmail and other web-based resources. This is maybe a question for you to pass on to one of the survivors, but any guesses as to what this means for future imapd and Alpine work? In particular I've just looked at the Web Alpine software, which looks interesting: but I'm reluctant to put any effort into something that might be orphaned if UW now lacks the resources to be doing development work for other than strictly internal use...

so long, and thanks for all the fish!

Mark Crispin — 2008-05-20T21:44:31

I was laid off today. Unfortunately, I didn't get a change to push imap-2007b out the door in release status, but the development tarball there is pretty close to my final bits. If you have support requests for UW imapd, please send them to the Alpine development team at UW, alpine-contact< at >u.washington.edu. It has been a privilege to work with all of you for the past 20 years.

Win CE Port.

Using spg (search) in mail_sort

2008-05-18T18:33:09

Background: working on mods to Cambridge's Prayer webmail, which uses c-client. Current issue: mail_sort works as expected, consistently, with one exception. Any search program (spg) passed to it seems to be completely ignored. I've tried many different approaches for the last 48 hours and nothing has worked, so I'm curious if there are known issues with this. If not, I'll be happy to provide any further detail (code and debugging info). Basic relevant snip: search_pgm = mail_newsearchpgm(); /* Basic search program */ search_pgm->undeleted = T; sort_pgm = mail_newsortpgm(); stream->dtb->sort = &mail_sort_msgs; sort_pgm->function = SORTARRIVAL; if (! (tmp = mail_sort(stream, NIL, search_pgm, sort_pgm, (SO_FREE | SE_FREE)))) { return (NIL); } I also tried, among other things, making an explicit assignment: stream->dtb->sort = &mail_sort_msgs; in order to make sure that mail_sort_msgs, with its call to mail_search_full, was being used.
