I've set Mozilla Thunderbird to store incoming email attachments in a separate directory, but it still keeps attachments inline in their messages and there's not a single attachment saved in the directory I've set.
View 3 Repliesat my work we have upgraded suse to 11.2, thus we also got an upgrade of thunderbird 2 to 3.
When I now save attachments to our network disks it writes them as user=rw (600), and no longer as 644. I do not want to do chmod for every attachment.When creating a file by csh or bash terminal or downloading a file by firefox it does write the file as 644, which is good.
Can someone please give me a suggestion of how I can solve this problem? Is there something I have to change in the prefs.js file?
I have Internet access with Verizon Wireless and have a limit of 5 gigs per month but Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1.8 is wasting my data whenever I send large attachments. For example, when I send an attachment to somebody, Thunderbird will upload it okay but when it is finished uploading it, the message in the window then says "copying to the Sent folder" but it does not simply "copy" it, instead, it uploads the attachment all over again to the Sent folder. So the attachment was uploaded twice, once to the recipient and once to my sent folder.I am running Linux Mint 9 Isadora.Is there a way to stop this behavior?

Frequently, I want my group to have permission, or to give read permission to everyone. Is there a way to do change Thunderbird's default file permissions so I don't have to do this manually every time?

I am setting up a LAMP server for my home LAN. I want to move the data out of / into a new disk partition for ease of backup and especially away from any clean installation I might do. What
I have in mind:
Shut down MySQL and Apache
Make a new partition, format as ext4
Mount new partition on /mnt
Copy all of /srv to /mnt
Copy MySQL stuff from /var/lib/mysql to /mnt/mysql
Update /etc/my.conf to point to /srv/mysql
Unmount /mnt
Update /etc/fstab to mount new partition on /srv
mount /srv
Start mysql, apache
Will a fresh install or upgrade keep its fingers out of /srv, in the same way as /home? Or will those parts of apache installed in /srv/www be updated?
I am trying to setup 2 individual FTP users. They should both have access to the same directory. They both need to be able to read/write into the directory. But, I want them not to be able to write to each other's files (e.g. delete, remove, rename, etc.).
So let's say the shared directory is: /home/ftp/shared/
UserA needs read/write access to /home/ftp/shared/. UserA should only have write access to his own files. UserB also needs read/write access to /home/ftp/shared/. UserB should only have write access to his own files.
It would be a unix box of sorts, but that is the only restriction. I could use whatever software. I am currently thinking pure-ftpd or vsftp but I am open to all ideas.
Ubuntu 10.04 (64)I have a second drive (currently mounted as /disk2).I want my home directory (/home/jb) to include this second disk as JUST a separate 'folder' accessible from my home area.want the data on the second disk to be encrypted, (just like my /home/jb folder is now).I would prefer to 'blend' the second drive into my existing setup.I'm looking for the safest way to achieve this, don't mind editing fstab etc. or getting my hands dirty on the cli.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two students whose windows laptops are riddled with malware and not working properly. They want me to help them install Linux (which we use in school), but they are concerned about their iTunes.
Having avoided iPods as "defective by design", I know nothing about iTunes whatsoever. However I remember reading about DRM locking and such problems that have me concerned that I won't be able to do it.
Where does iTunes store its stuff?
Can I copy its data store to an external drive, and then into a linux home?
Then will it work on wine, or can another manager (rhythmbox etc) access the itunes data?
Alternatively, if I partition the drive and install linux, can rythmbox/wine/something access itunes data on the win partition?
Supposing they are buying music through iTunes, what will happen to that account?
Finally, one of them has an iphone. Does that work with linux?
Ironic that an apple application is blocking migration away from windows.

I had a portable apps version of Thunderbird (windows) that runs off a thumb drive and wanted to take the settings and transfer them to my Thunderbird that's on my Linux computer.
This is what I did:
First, I installed thunderbird on my Ubuntu 10.04 Linux box and opened it, and closed it (so that it would create the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder in the user account).
Then, I renamed the linux /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder to .thunderbird_ORIGINAL
Then, I created a new /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder
Then, I took the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableDataprofile folder and copied it to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
Then, I looked into the /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL folder and wrote down the name of the folder with the ".default" extension.
Then, I renamed the profile folder (that came from the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableData folder) "<name-I-wrote-down>.default".
And then, I copied the profiles.ini folder from /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
I opened up Thunderbird in Linux and everything seems fine! (I'll definitely be keeping a backup just in case)
My question is: is this fine and dandy, or a recipe for disaster?
Thanks to Lucid not working properly on i845, i855 and other 8xx chips, had to re-install Karmic on my mum's computer.I saved all the data from her old install and I ve managed to get all her old emails from thunderbird, but I cant import her address book.In Thunderbird/tools/import/addressbooks it only allows importing of LDIF, .tab, .csv and .txt files, but I cant find any of these files in any of the Thunderbird, .Thunderbird, Mozilla-Thunderbird or Mozilla folders in Home folder or anywhere, all I can find is "abook.mab" which IS supposed to be her address book, but when I try and import it the entries are blank and/or indecipherable (prob cos not a compatible file type).
Its one of those "simple" things to do, thats taken hours and hours of time, but that I cant actually find out how to do.
Is there a setting to make the default in Kmail to save the attachments (or when dragging them into a folder) so they are NOT set to read-only?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have set up a Sympa list serv server and everything is working fine for the most part. One issue that I am running into is sending files over ~580 KB in size (just a normal .txt file) are not going through. I am getting the following error. Impossible to distribute your message for list 'list-name' because of an internal server error.I have verified that my "Maximum message size (max_size)" setting in Sympa is get to 5 MB so that shouldn't be the problem. If I try sending the same .txt file after taking out a few lines, and the file size is ~530 KB, then it works just fine. Nothing is really jumping out at me in the logs either.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an interesting job at hand. A client has asked me to generate an email account for him that will block ALL file attachments unless specific email addresses are added to a white list. Cpanel doesn't seem to allow this because of Exim (from what the server techs tell me).So here I am, asking the wise. Please let me know what options there are. I don't mind installing a 3rd party email system on the server just for this client if it's possible and won't interfere with WHM/Cpanel.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to filter out attachment emails using procmail. I have tried this:
Code:
#Config:
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin
MAILDIR="/var/mail/root"
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
LOGABSTRACT=ALL
VERBOSE=ON
:0
*^Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64$ {
| echo $LASTFOLDER }
[/code]
As you can probably guess, this line "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" appears when emails come with attachments, but the result of this filter is:
Code:
procmail: No match on "^Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"
procmail: Skipped "| echo $LASTFOLDER"
procmail: Assigning "echo"
procmail: Skipped "| $LASTFOLDER"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/mail/root/msg.OFT"
procmail: Opening "/var/mail/root/msg.OFT"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: Notified comsat: "root@0:/var/mail/root/msg.OFT"
From root Mon Apr 11 01:23:37 2011
Subject:
Folder: /var/mail/root/msg.OFT 26051
The result showed as if there was no match, futhermore, the bash code that I am trying to run:
echo "$LASTFOLDER" seemed not to be ran as bash? And does anyone know how I can test my procmail filter on some testing platform sandbox so I don't have to send a bunch of emails everytime I change the file and waste time and disk space testing new filters?
How would one go about reading a mailbox, and detaching the attachment (a csv file) in all unread mails for processing?
I plan to do this in bash or perl. I am looking for ideas or sample code.
