Hello! I'm finally on the verge of replacing my aging Novell fileserver
with a brand new Linux server. One of the things that's been
plaguing me has been how I'm going to do the mail. Currently, my
department runs Pegasus mail through Mercury, on the Novell box,
and all the mail files are kept on the server, and backed up.
What I'd like to do is develop something similar to this, using
Eudora and IMAP. So I found a couple programs that convert
Pegasus mail data to Eudora mailboxes. The best one I found so
far was the peg2eud.pl script, which allows me to keep all the mail
on the server, not transfering it back and forth from a PC to convert
it.
After the conversion process, all the Pegasus mailboxes are
translated into Eudora boxes, which, as I understand it, use the
same format as standard UNIX mailboxes. And it seems to be true.
I can read the converted files without any problems in Pine.
However, when I connect to the server with Eudora through IMAP,
most of the messages appear fine, but some, about half of them,
show nothing but the header. I'll open the message, and Eudora
only shows the header, but no message. I've manually looked
throught the mail files, and I can't find anything in them that looks
different from the messages that DO work. I can bring the
messages locally to the machine running Eudora, and then they're
OK, but I need to keep this stuff on the server, so I can back it up.
Has anybody had any experience with this kind of thing? Could you
tell me why the mail looks great in Pine and not through IMAP in
Eudora? I'm doing this through a RH 6.0 machine, with imap-4.5-3,
and using the new Eudora 4.3 beta, hoping that by the time I do
the actual conversion, it won't be in beta anymore.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Andy
