Software :: POP3 Download Mail Attachments As Local Files?
Dec 23, 2010
How can mail attachments be downloaded from a POP3-supporting mail server and saved as local files? I've looked into a variety of mail clients and studied mbox, maildir and MIX but no solutions are jumping out and saying "It's me you're looking for!" (story of my life ) The requirement is for an organisation with no document management system; as a first step I want to get all their files in one place, including files that may exist only as email attachments.
How can I download Mail from Dovecot POP3 Server to new Dovecot POP3 Server of all users and will always run every minute. I've tried fetchmail and getmail but only in one user and need to run fetchmail or getmail to retrieve new emails.
I cannot get exim4 to actually deliver any "local delivery only; not on a network".But whatever I do in the config, all mail gets frozen with entries in the log file like:"root@empty R=nonlocal: Mailing to remote domains not supported"Maybe the problem is that there is no fqdn for the computer (and will never be). How can I enable local mail delivery?
How can I split my local mail box into an individual files for each mail. The senario of mine is I fetch some emails from a mail server into my local linux box with fetchmail command but I want each fetched mail in a different indivitual file for easy file processing and manipulation for example sending those email through sms and so on
how to set the following requirements:1-user1 must be be able to retrieve email from my m/c using pop3 from within domain example1.com.2-users within domain example2.com should not have access to my pop3 services
I'm running SuSE 11 with sendmail and dovecot.I'm sending and receiving mail. But as soon as someone sends me a mail with an attachment over 1mg it seems to fail. I have no problem sending big attachments.
when I first started with tbird version 3.0.5, under that version everything worked fine and attachments etc. downloaded, but tbird was automatically upgraded to 3.1 since then attachments don't download and pictures don't appear in emails.What do I need to do to correct this?
I'm am not remotely familiar with the linux operating sytem and just need a simple 'cut and paste solution' that will allow me to send .gz files as mail attachments, from the command line.Recently I moved my website to new hosting company, they are using cpanel and I have set up a couple of commands; the cpanel scheduler runs them for me as required.
1.creates an mysql dump and saves it to folder ( in root of my space )Works fine.2. delete the file created above, after 15 mins. Also works fineWhat I really want to do is email the .gz to myself before it is deleted, this is were I am stuck.This is possible ( I believe ) but it is beyond my understanding and ability to write the scipt/command that will make this happen.Please make any instructions really simple and clear as I am really new to this.on the server and this information is provided below and may be helpful to you (but I certainly to not know anything about this type of stuff)
I am trying to install Mozilla Thunderbird email client. When I configure this program, it defaults to IMAP4-type incoming mail server (Port 143) instead of POP3 (Port 110) which my ISP uses. I did not see POP3 anywhere in the available dialog boxes. Is there any way to get Thunderbird to use POP3 in opensuse 11.2 Gnome Edition?
I used to have this setup on an old server and i'm trying to move it to a new server.I have a new box installed with Ubuntu 10.10, sendmail, courier-imap and courier-pop.I've configured virtusertable/local-host-names/virtual-domains/sendmail.cf and such.Everything is set up to take any mail arriving to @mydomain.com and move it to a user called "mobileinbox".When i log in as mobileinbox (su mobileinbox) and check my inbox using mutt, i see all the e-mails , but when i login from the outside using pop3 or imap , it says i have no new emails.
I'm trying to configure dovecot in RHEL6, but seems system won't accept local user login. I've already disabled pam. I've tried mutt -f imap://xxxx, and Thunderbird to connect as imap and pop3, but both failed, seems dovecot won't accept the password of the login user.the dovecot info log as, Jul 03 20:48:42 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Too many invalid commands (no auth attempts): rip=192.168.1.3, lip=192.168.1.3, mpid=0, secured
I'm run 10.10 desktop x64 and when I start setting up an account in thunerbird and enter name, email address and password in the first window and go on to the next next that window flashes pop and imap very quickly before stopping with a showing of imap. There is no edit button and I have not been able to find out how to set the protocol to pop3. Is there and error? Or am I missing something. I like thunderbird and would like to continue using it but my email providers only support pop3. I'm writing to this list because I'm thinking the problem may be specific to my version of ubuntu but I'm not sure.
i've been tryin to configure sendmail with cyrus to create a mail server that'll allow outlook users to connect to and download mails. I've done a lot of googling but so far no success have been able to configure sendmail with cyrus but can't connect the outlook to the server. I've come across certain documentation that says it requires to configure saslauthd. Is there any way i can create a mail server to which users can connect and download their mails. Shall i switch to postfix and dovecot instead? Is that easier?
I have recently set up a mail server running dovecot and everything is fine. However, I now want to retrieve the contents of 2 pop mail boxes and insert them into the IMAP structure under dovecot. I need to check for spam and sort them according to sender and recipient.
What is my best software option for retrieving the mail?
I'm somewhat familiar with Linux and became pretty decent at installing and configuring packages in Ubuntu. One of the things I was able to do with my tinkering was set up a functioning imap and pop3 mail server using dovecot-postfix. Now I'm experimenting with Slackware to get the feel of another distro, and I noticed that the mail server packages were already installed. On my client computer they can pick up that I have users configured and my mx record is working.
However it is failing to send mail saying that it is failing to relay the e-mail message and that the server responded 5.7.1 which was a problem that I was having in Ubuntu when first configuring the mail server. The fix was to edit the postfix.conf file and adding the localhost name of my server. Does anybody know of the file that I need to edit to make it possible to relay my messages with both pop3 and imap.
I just added my login id to /etc/aliases to forward root's local e-mail to my local e-mail account in evolution.
As always, when I make a change to /etc/aliases, I run newaliases. I now get the following, and root's mail is not showing up in my local mail Inbox:
Code:
Is this correct?
I understand my hostname (i.e., Eng-Lab-010) is not a fully qualified host name, but I never had a problem before. But it appears this not a good thing. What should I do?
I have been able to use the mail program on my old Ubuntu instasll which I found quite handy. However, it isn't functioning "out of the box" like I expected. I've tried to configure it as mail was in Ubuntu to no avail.
For long-term migration from courier to dovecot I would like to install courier-pop and dovecot-pop3d simultaneously. Aptitude offers me to install one, by removing the other, only. Can this be done without creating problems for the package manager and future upgrades? And why if not?
The following NEW packages will be installed:
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Here at home I have several Ubuntu installations, mine, the kids computers and a couple of laptops. What I'm looking for is a solution or a pointer in the right direction to setup on our local Ubuntu server a sort of cache. Each day each Ubuntu on the network, checks for updates and downloads, and installs. What I'm looking for is a way for one machine to download the update and then the others to download from the local resource.
A sort of local cache to try and minimise everyone downloading straight from the net for pretty much the same updates. I did a emerge cache many years ago when I was using Gentoo, so I'm wondering what I can use/do here with Ubuntu as we are all loving this distro now.
I need help in setting up the native e-mail client included in Debian Squeeze. My ultimate goal is to have the Debian e-mail client download e-mail messages and process attachments automatically.
I am having problem to collecting email from remote POP3 (all the emails for a domain is stored here) and distribute it after collecting to several users defined to Linux server. I have install postfix in Linux server for email distribution.
How do I make a local mail server that itself is a client to a WAN mail server.I want the local mail server to query new mail every 30 minutes from the WAN server.
What is the minimum configuration to postfix that I need to do (i.e. to its main.cf file) in order to have the following:mail go from user1 on comp1 to user2 on comp2 on same landemonstration:
user1@comp1# Mail -v "" user2@comp2.somelan.com hi there [CONTROL-D]
One of Konqueror's unique features is that i can name a local process as the action in a form. When i submit that form, the local process is executed. Very helpful for certain offline tasks. What would make it even better is if i could find a way to pass some data to that local process from the html page. This could be the content of a hidden input item, etc. Alternatively, if there is a way for Konqueror to create or update a local file with data from the html page, that would acheive the same end.
I have setup a postfix mailserver and it seems to be working ok, we are only using this to relay mail to our forum users. Its not being used to recieve any email only send them out to the internet.
What is the difference between the mail.log and mail.info files? Can I turn one or both off? I see alot of messages like...
Just wondering what this string of log entries means? Also I am getting duplicates in the syslog file as well.
I have to administer a few mail servers, a mail log server, 4 nameservers and a web server -all running on Centos 5 server distributions. Now I have a task: to avoid accidental crashes on the production servers while installing updates, my boss asked me to do clones (these clones will all be VMware virtual machines) of the servers (EXCLUDING the actual e-mails and mail log contents) and then to run those clones on VMWare Server. This way, first I will install and test updates on the clones and - if they will be running without crashes - I will apply the updates on the real production servers themselves. I have already installed VMWare Server 2.0 I have a few questions:
- How do I build the virtual machines to exclude the actual mail files and mail logs? Can I use VMware Converter for this purpose, or do I have to use another program? - How do I actually do this cloning? Is there a tutorial on how to do this?
Shouldn't this command work "out-of-the-box"? mail -s test JJ
JJ is a valid local user, in fact, It's MY username. It doesn't work from root account either... However, from my login mail -s test root DOES work but mail -s test JJ from root does NOT.
My username is NOT in the /etc/aliases file. But I've tried jj: jj and that bombs. I also tried JJ: JJ and that bombs too. I ran newaliases after each edit too.
I've done some digging around (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/, http://docs.fedoraproject.org/, http://fedoraproject.org, http://forums.fedoraforum.org ) and made some changes trying to get it to work, I either get a dead.letter or a /var/log/maillog entry (error)
(Desktop with Debian sid) How do I configure Exim4 to send local mail locally and other mail through my ISP? I just did dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and none of the choices seemed to give me the answer. I have a lot of frozen email addressed to: root@<My_ISP_SMTP_URL>. I also don't know what happens to regular email sent from Mutt. I have no problem sending email through my laptop on the same LAN.
I haved tried 3 times to download DVD-7 from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...md64/jigdo-dvd, and every time it has failed with just 5 files left to download.
It says: I cannot begin to describe. All those hours of downloading for nothing! What the heck is happening here? When I try to just continue on, I get error code 3 aborts and have to just start all over.
How to backup and restore local folders in K Mail. I understand that this is a rudimentary question-- under K Mail in 11.2 there is no backup and restore option for local folders (that I have been able to find anyway). I use 11.2 on this machine where I do all e mail, browsing and everything pretty much internet related. I am going to upgrade to 11.4 in another week and want to make sure that I understand backup and restore procedures for K Mail...in case something untoward happens during the upgrade to 11.4.
