Re: AW: 3 kb mail from windows mail client mutate to 21 kb in imap mailbox

2003-10-29 Thread Patrick Morris
Again, this has nothing to do with IMAP, but with the way mail clients encode attachments. The encoding process makes them bigger, and happens before the message ever touches an IMAP server. Attachments encoding using methods like Base64 or UUencoding are typically much larger than the origina

2003-10-29 Thread Patrick Morris
Just dropping mail into an IMAP mailbox will *not* do this. It's not unusual for a message to take up more disk space than the sum of its parts -- there's quite a bit of overhead in the encoding process (which happens on the mail client, not the IMAP server). A lot of Windows clients will als

You're right, I probably misread the question... Having quotas on subfolders, and no quota on the inbox, works. Having no quota on the inbox, though, and automatically applying a quota to new subfolders created there... well, that wouldn't. Sorry -- I should wait 'til I'm awake to start answe

Assuming you have the logging of POP and IMAP sessions turned on for that user, yes... Though, if you're asking, you probably don't. If you create a directory named [configdirectory]/log/[username], POP and IMAP sessions will be logged in it. Bartosz Jozwiak wrote: Hello, How I can check in

This is all documented pretty well in the Horde docs, and there's an example in the config that works practically out of the box. The short answer: You need nothing in folders (as long as you define namespace, or vice versa) and you don't define a realm. Don't sweat them. Norris Ward wrote: Hi

Unfortunately, you've snipped the part that would show what's really broken: the compilation of libcyrus.a. It looks like Perl on that system is misconfigured, and didn't compile libcyrus.a with the -fPIC option needed to link it into a shared library. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a dual A

It really sort of depends on how it's configured now, which syslog you use, etc. In my case it'd be a matter of changing "local6.debug" to "local6.info," but your system may vary. Denny Schierz wrote: hi, which lines i have to write into my syslog.conf, to stop the debug output. cu denny

I'd assume this is because you're moving from a system that uses db4 to one using db3. If that's the case, the easiest thing to do is to convert them on the first system to a format both recognize (such as skiplist). Then, convert the skiplist version back to db3 on the other system. sandra
